MYSTIC, CT (June 10, 2013) --- The Residence Inn by Marriott in Mystic, CT has undergone a renovation of 80 suites and public spaces in the hotel’s main building, transforming it into an upscale hotel designed to enhance the comfort and lifestyle of travelers on the road today. The newly refreshed Residence Inn Mystic offers guests flexible spaces and amenities to help maintain a healthy balance and routine while traveling. The renovation of the property’s remaining 48 suites will be complete in early 2014. The Residence Inn Marriott Mystic is managed by Waterford Hotel Group, a national hotel and convention center management firm. “When on the road for an extended period, our guests need space to spread out, to maintain their life’s pace and restore their energy,” said Diane Mayer, vice president and global brand manager, Residence Inn. “Residence Inn offers a seamless blend of modern style and functionality that allows them to settle in and thrive.” Each of the Residence Inn Mystic’s spacious, residential-style suites offer accommodations that are larger than traditional hotel guestrooms. The layout provides separate zones where guests can relax, work, eat, and sleep, thereby maintaining their routines while away from home. The Residence Inn Mystic’s updated kitchens, each outfitted with new granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, make living on the road easier for both business travelers on long stays and families on holiday. With a larger, expansive workspace, complimentary high-speed Internet access, and a multitude of easily accessible outlets, guests are able to work efficiently throughout the suite. 32-inch and 37-inch flat screen televisions and luxurious, updated bathrooms make it possible for travelers to live and rest comfortably. Conveying the same feeling of comfortable living on the road, the hotel’s re-designed public spaces have been transformed into multi-functional living spaces where guests can relax or collaborate on their own terms. The warm and friendly lobby area provides high definition television and free wireless internet, a communal table for groups to socialize, and study pods to allow guests work or relax in the new lobby. This new open communal living space allows guests to connect with friends, family or colleagues in a modern living room style lounge. The Residence Inn Mystic also expanded its 24-hour food market, and will continue to offer a complimentary hot breakfast buffet each morning in the lobby area. Other hotel facilities and services include an indoor swimming pool and whirlpool, updated fitness center, outdoor patio with a barbecue and picnic area, and weeknight evening socials featuring complimentary food and beverages.
