Liberty Inn

We stayed at this hotel based on reviews and price, my wife and I were both quite impressed with the lodging. It was a great location for us and a very comfortable room. The king bed was very comfortable. Loved the shower, plenty of hot water and a good stream! The people at the front desk were very friendly and helpful. It is just off the highway but not loud enough to be a problem. We skipped the continental breakfast, not much there and wanted to try the restaurants in the area anyway. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.

The location is right next to the highway- quite loud. The room has a strong mold or musty smell that nearly made my eyes water. It appeared clean, but the smell was overwhelming. Can’t recommend staying here.

AT $89 per night, a very good value. I rate it "excellent" only in relation to the price I paid -- it's just a place to sleep. The room was well cleaned and well maintained. The uncarpeted floor was spectacularly clean -- no dirt revealed by wiping a wet paper towel on it. The motel is mom and pop, like most off-brand motels, with a proprietor who sleeps behind a wall at the front desk and greets guests behind bullet-resistant glass late at night. (But the area did not feel unsafe to me.) I was grateful that he did not question my request for three extra blankets in summer, as most low budget motels do. He also accommodated my request to arrive late (10:30) even though he had planned to be in bed by that time. I did not eat or see the breakfast, but based on the very limited counter space I did see, I assume that it was a very limited selection of carbohydrates, as is usual for most included breakfasts. It was an overall good enough experience that it is in my Rolodex for my next visit to Old Saybrook.
