The no-frills and homey 120-room Quality Inn appeals to budget travelers with a convenient location beside I-95, near the Mystic Aquarium and Olde Mistick Village. Amenities include a seasonal outdoor pool, sparsely equipped gym, and bicycle rentals. Free hot breakfast is served in a dining room with a computer corner. The service gets hectic, so a meeting room is used for overflow seating. Next door is Frank’s Gourmet Grille. Comfy, plain rooms have flat-screen TVs and coffeemakers; mini-fridges, microwaves, and sofa beds are available. The property needs renovating, but most guests overlook the rough edges for a value stay in a good location. The Hyatt Place Mystic offers more stylishly furnished rooms and only slightly higher rates.

Nestled in a tranquil marina overlooking the Connecticut River estuary, the upscale Saybrook Point Inn & Spa offers a good mix of amenities. A total of 96 charming rooms are divided between the main building and two graciously restored guest houses just down the street. There's also a Lighthouse Suite plus longer term vacation rentals available. The property is home to a popular seafood restaurant, a fitness club with indoor and outdoor pools, and an elegant spa. However, the hot tub and pools can get crowded as the club is open to the public, and the volume of weddings here can overwhelm the hotel. Perks include free parking and Wi-Fi. It's worth considering Madison Beach Hotel, a smaller boutique property with a beach, though rates are higher.

The 190-room Water's Edge Resort & Spa is a sprawling, upper-middle-range hotel complex on the Connecticut shoreline. Rooms are a mixed bag, some are traditional and a bit dated, while waterfront villas are modern and sharp -- some rooms feature fireplaces, kitchens, and terraces. One of the main draws here is the full-service spa, though reviews are mixed on services, and there's also a modern gym, a private beach, and indoor and outdoor pools. Extensive event spaces make the property popular for weddings, especially in spring and summer, which can result in crowds. Dining options include an upscale waterfront restaurant that serves weekend brunch and a more casual bistro and grill. It might pay to compare rates at The Spa at Norwich Inn, which is right next to a golf course.

The Winvian is a romantic, upscale property set on 113 acres of countryside outside tiny Morris. Its 19 individually decorated cottages all have a feel of understated, rustic elegance with the convenience of modern amenities, including Bose surround systems, flat-screen TVs, and Nespresso coffeemakers. All units have working fireplaces, large bathrooms with separate walk-in showers and jetted tubs, and unique, mind-blowing design features; one cottage has a helicopter shell that doubles as a living room. The outstanding spa and the wonderful restaurant serving a tasty farm-to-table menu are just some of the highlights. But this kind of luxury doesn’t come cheap, and the themed decor might not be to everyone’s taste. Also, it’s very secluded, but that’s probably why most guests are looking to stay here.
