Top New London Hotel Reviews

Pleasant View Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Third time in three years we’ve stayed here! Love the views, the beach, the pool, the bar. It’s also great to have the restaurant right in site. The lobster roll is AMAZING. Warm and buttered. So good I got it three days in a row! Drinks and food menu are solid. Only complaint this time was that they ran out of pool/beach towels and we had to use a tiny bath towel while they waited for a towel delivery. I do love that they have little amenities that you can add to you stay (wine and cheese for example). And I love that you can stay and enjoy the facilities after checkout! This place is good for families and couples and groups. And it’s walkable to restaurants and bars. It’s become an annual tradition for us now. Definitely recommend it."
