Rooms with Fireplace

Summary of reviews related to the 'Rooms with Fireplace' category

Saybrook Point Resort & Marina offers the perfect getaway with its cozy and old-world style rooms that feature wood-burning or gas fireplaces. Guests have described the decor as American mansion chic and many were pleased with their rooms' furnishings, including 4 poster beds with luxury linens. Although some guests were unable to use their fireplaces due to restrictions, those who could loved the real wood in the room fireplace and the warm atmosphere it created. While some guests had issues with the fireplace, others found it lovely and exceeded their expectations. The restaurant, Fresh Salt, was exceptional and served delicious meals. The only downside was that some guests found issues with cleanliness, such as old towels and dust around the room, but generally, the rooms were extremely clean and neat.
