Excellent service. Bed was too soft for my bad back so Wayne (manager) showed me 2 other rooms until I found a firmer bed. He brought a new coffee pot pot when mine didn’t work. He went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. Kitchenette and comfortable chairs made the place easy to stay at.

First the good. Place was clean, good parking cool location, great view The bad Very old furnishings. Looks like mostly apartments now. It is not a marina anymore. Docks are decrepit unsuitable. No boats except the one that is sunken at the dock. 20 years ago I bet this was a cool place. Should not be on Expedia web site

Very dirty place. It looks ok but was filthy. We got to choose from two rooms, and at first glance it looked ok. Very dirty floors, hairs from previous guests shaving around faucet, dirty shower curtain, my child itched all night and I hope it was not bed bugs- we slept with the light on rest of the stay… Dirty kitchen table and fridge, steep stairs and no elevator. Insects stuck in bathroom ceiling, very loud AC, lots of trash outside the door, the office was in such a mess etc.

While I was a little underwhelmed when we first saw it, it’s more of a motel than an inn, it turned out to be a lovely stay. Has everything you could need in the kitchen. Nice shower. Very clean. Walked across the lot and had a great dinner at Paul’s Pasta. We actually purchased more sauce and fresh pasta as our souvenir. Being on the Thames River the views are incredible too. Now if it wasn’t going to rain on Block Island tomorrow I would be one happy Mom. We will be back.

I love that this property is right on the Thames river with spectacular views and breezes along with the superb customer service for manager, Wayne and the spotlessly clean and comfortable rooms. They are super welcoming to good guests and their good dogs. My room was so nice. I had a little deck that was private and looked right out on the Thames river. The kitchen had a full oven and refrigerator. The Wi-Fi was super fast and the TV was great. The bed was comfortable in the room was big and so well appointed and modern. It was a wonderful stay.

Have been staying there over the last twenty years and it has gone downhill. Toilet seal leaking over the bathroom floor, curtains covered with dog hair, and a couch covered in stains. Not worth the money.

Arrived after 8 hour drive from Virginia. No one at office. Had to call phone number posted on the office door. someone answered with screaming kids in the background to tell me my reservation made months ago was “lost” & there were no available rooms. Had to go find last minute hotel room elsewhere during peak vacation season. Not happy!

It was on the River. Saw sunsets and full moon over the river. We also saw two submarines. You don't see that everyday. The last thing is that it was close to everything, meaning New London was across the river, Mistic was a short drive. A lot to do in the area.

Upon arrival...somewhat concerned about conditions...but lets start with the worst situation. I reserved two rooms thru expedia. Even had communication on location of rooms. The other party paid with their credit card for their room. I was told I had not been billed and would be billed. In reviewing American Express today...billed for two rooms on 11/5/2022 and again for 1 room. The other party has been billed as well. Ladley and Young. Review the records. So disappointed and was willing to excuse the condition of the property. Full dispute will begin immediately.

We stopped here overnight on our way from Maryland to Maine. Check in was quick and friendly and the room was SPOTLESS! In the evening we sat out by the water and the view was beautiful. I noticed there were nice grills outside which was nice, we didn't use because it was a one night stay. My husband and I would definitely stay here again.

The room ok and somewhat clean. It smelled of cigarette smoke, the bed, the pillows etc. The person that checked us in was nice but the outside and halls was absolutely filthy. Felt like I was at a rundown cheap motel. The hallway was small and felt creepy.

Highly recommend Thames Inn & Marina! Hidden gem with great rooms, even equipped with a kitchen and beautiful views of the Thames River. Wayne, the owner, is nicest man you can meet, which makes staying there extra special and looking forward to returning for a weekend visit soon. We brought our 2 dogs who also loved their visit - very dog friendly! The Inn is a great location to stay for exploring all kinds of activities, restaurants, shops, and night life along the coast - the Inn is right in the middle of it all!

This property is in a very industrial and run down area. It’s the kind of property that is a motel but people rent monthly. My wife wouldn’t even sleep under the blankets and no way was she going to get in the shower. 😳

My room was comfortable for a one night stay. You can tell the room had been recently renovated, especially the bathroom tile and shower which I appreciated. The room was spacious and the home provided complimentary toothbrushes and toothpaste which I appreciated, as well as soaps and shampoos of course. The owner was extremely friendly upon check in. There were two mild drawbacks though. The first one was that many people were congregating outside of the hotel room on the shared porch late at night, smoking and drinking. It was a little loud and awkward to walk by them as they were right outside my door. Once inside with A/C I couldn’t hear them though. The other major drawback was that the room smelled very intensely like cigarette smoke. It was tolerable for one night but it really seeped into my clothing which required me to wash them twice. Also too expensive ($261/per night) for these inconveniences. I would stay again so long as the cigarette smell is addressed, as everything is expensive in the area anyway so the price was reasonable relative to other options, and it’s very close to the New London Block Island Ferry Terminal ($10 Uber) and Mohegan Sun ($25 Uber). That being said I expect no cigarette smell and no rowdy guests right outside my room for $261. Overall 6.5 or 7 out of 10 all things considered. Not that bad but not that great either.

Did not like this inn. People were living there months at a time. Flies in the room. The bathroom smelled clean. Little kids running around the parking lot when we pulled in.

Older hotel which could use some maintenance. Having said that, the gentleman at reception is very accommodating and helpful. The Inn sits right on the waterfront with a view of the Thames river, boats, and historic New London right before you. The room was clean and odor free and the bed quite comfortable. Paul's Pasta shop, a Groton favorite, is right next door. Fort Griswold, of historic interest as Connecticut's only Revolutionary War battlefield, is within walking distance. So, while there is no upscale feel to this facility it is safe, economical, and it served my needs very well.

A quick and easy drive from the ferry. Particularly great for motorcycle riders. Ample parking by the sea and super friendly staff. The place is huge with a kitchenette and dining table! Affordable with a great view of the harbour - very unique I really enjoyed it!
