    Beautiful!!

    October 27, 2011

    Recently spent 2 wonderful days at Steamboat - Mystic suite. What a beautiful location and atmosphere. Convenient to all Mystic sites and walking distance to many great eateries. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable, with a fantastic view of the river - real fireplace, an added plus. The staff was friendly and very accomodating, yet not intrusive. We did not partake of the breakfast offerings (just coffee) so, cannot offer a dining rating. An amazing Inn - highly recommended. We will be sure to return time and again.

    View is worth it

    August 08, 2011

    I loved my stay at the Steamboat Inn this spring. The location made it worth every penny, but overall I was extremely pleased with all other aspects of it. I was apprehensive about booking a B&B for the first time, but I found a virtual tour of several Mystic inns while browsing for reviews. Here is the one on the Steamboat: http://mysticshops.tv/steamboat-inn/ There are a few different ones on this site. If you're looking for something in particular, I would check it out before booking. Overall, I would rate the Steamboat highly and would stay here again.

    Our Weekend Away

    May 05, 2010

    We chose Mystic, CT, as our destination for a weekend getaway for my husband's 30th birthday. Steamboat met our expectations - centrally located near shops and dining. Some B&B's will ask about reason for stay and will do something special if it's a birthday or anniversary. Steamboat Inn did not, which was slightly disappointing. Our room (Carolyn) was very nice - huge tub, nice sitting area. A little loud, as you can hear everyone right outside the room. Overall, it was nice.

    Wonderful Getaway!

    February 23, 2010

    Our little "getaway escape" at the Steamboat Inn was terrific. The location on the river and walking distance to restaurants and shops were just what my husband and I were looking for. Our room #8 was gorgeous, immaculate, well designed and reasonably priced. The breakfast was delicious with many choices including yummy homemade muffins. We loved the added touches of the sherry and cookies in the evening. It was also wonderfully convenient to have coffee, tea, hot chocolate or soda available 24 hours a day. The entire staff is to be complimented for creating an efficient and friendly atmosphere. We especially enjoyed talking to the young woman who was assisting during the breakfast hours in the Common Room. Without doubt we shall return!

    Mystic's Secret, On the River

    December 30, 2009

    What a delightful, homey but elegant, botique style B&B. We had a cold snap the next morning and I enjoyed a brisk walk through a beautiful neighborhood. Will return!

    Romantic Anniversary

    October 21, 2009

    We arrived late in the afternoon on Saturday, October 10th and Kathryn welcomed us into the Steamboat Inn. We toured the area and were shown the Common Room and the Valiant Room where we were staying. We were given information on all the local amenities and the sites to see in downtown Mystic such as Mystic Pizza (lunch) and the Daniel Packard Inn (outstanding dinner). The Valiant Room was extremely accommodating and it was simply wonderful to be right on the water. We took the chairs from our room and sat right on the deck at night with the moon out, a good book, and an even better cigar from the downtown Market Place. We had a wonderful stay. The area was fantastic and it was great being right in the middle of town. There was so much to do and see at all the local shops on Main Street!
