The hotel is lovely and in a great location. The staff was terrific. The adjoining jazz club was a huge plus and would make me stay at the Old Lyme Inn again.

    A beautiful old historic town worthy of a day trip.

    A beautiful old historic town worthy of a day trip. Lodging is limited to 2 historic hotels, both of which are VERY expensive. We went on the River Quest evening bird watching tour, which was excellent and the main point of the trip. The lodging was all that was available in that area.

    We loved this charming little village.

    We loved this charming little village. We happened to be there when they held the celebration for the Burning of the Ships with Drum and Fife corps and a parade. We also booked the Essex Dinner Train and it was fabulous! Book ahead as it sells out.

    I love this historic New England town.

    I love this historic New England town. I come to visit every time I return to CT to see my family. Enjoyed lunch 2 days in the dining room. Staff provided great service both times. This was the first time I stayed at the Griswold Inn - checked off my bucket list - quaint New England Inn. I love seeing the town decorated for the 4th of July, enjoyed a local car show, walking distance to the CT River and other local shops and restaurants. Looking forward to returning in November.

    Heading south from a trip to VT and the ME coast from Camden...

    Heading south from a trip to VT and the ME coast from Camden down, I guarantee you there is not a prettier New England village than architecturally all-white Essex. Essex is like a smaller New England version of the perfect kemptness of Williamsburg. But, of course, it’s a real place, not a replica. And its location on the CT River is simply superb. A real treat for any connoisseur of 18thC and Federal New England.
