The art of finding Mystic CT hotels doesn’t really have any mystique to it, considering it’s not really a big enough place for there to be any confusion. But there’s some real mystique about how the town is situated and the kind of attractions it has for visitors. Let’s start with the fact that the town doesn’t exist, so the major attractions are located in two areas that belong to different towns (Stonington & Groton) on opposite banks of the Mystic River.

Visitors looking for a hotel need to look at the location carefully and decide if it is convenient for their purpose. Speaking of the purpose of visit, most people who come here are primarily interested in the Mystic Seaport, the largest maritime museum in the United States. It is an entire coastal village set in 19th century New England.

The other big attraction here is the Aquarium and Institute for Exploration which is famous for its Beluga Whales and marine rehabilitation. For those who need a break from the history and marine attractions, there’s always Mystic Pizza. It is part of the local tours, and also gets a lot of visitors who come here after watching the namesake movie starring Julia Roberts.

Other must-do activities include shopping at the 60 shops in Olde Mistick Village and visiting the Historic Bridge District. The most convenient location, for all these visitors, would be a hotel somewhere on Hendel Drive or Greenmanville Avenue near the I-95 exit. The location leads straight to the Seaport, Aquarium and other local attractions and there’s a nice collection of Mystic CT hotels located together in a big bunch.

These are all family oriented properties that have rooms and suites filled with refrigerators, microwaves and so on. Guests are welcomed each morning with a free and hot breakfast, and can use complimentary wi-fi in room. Common use facilities on offer at most hotels include swimming pools, and business & fitness centers.

Other than this type of traveler, the town also gets a large number of casino players who come to play at the Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods resorts. Both are located a little bit off the tourist hotspots mentioned above, but are still close enough that many tourists end up visiting the casinos too. Conversely, the casino players who usually stay at the resort hotel also find some time to visit the tourist attractions.

Whether visitors choose to stay near the Aquarium and Seaport, or at the casino resorts, two things can be said for sure. First, a visit to this quaint town is sure to be very unique and different from most anything else in Connecticut or New England. Secondly, even though it’s a small town, the hotel choices are quite varied and visitors will be surprised at the excellent facilities in each hotel.
