Mystic Marriott in Connecticut

To be near Mystic Seaport® and Mystic Aquarium, or in easy distance to the two Indian casinos, Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun, if your budget allows, by all means stay at the four diamonds Mystic Marriott, where you'll find luxurious rooms, excellent service, lovely pools and whirlpool spa, excellent fitness center, and business services. 
In the Octagon Restaurant you'll discover a quiet atmosphere and detectible meals, specializing in fresh seafood and thick steaks. Beautiful presentation is part of the excellent meal service. My favorite food is crab cakes, which I try everywhere I go, and theirs are the best! Restaurant manager Sean says it's because he, too, is a crab cake connoisseur, having grown up on the Virginia coast. The Marriott breakfast buffet is a lovely array of fresh baked good, fruits, and many full breakfast selections. 
Ever wonder what it's like behind that red door? When you make your hotel reservations be sure to book an appointment for your favorite spa treatment at the Elizabeth Arden Salon and Spa, on site. They have treatments of every sort for all your wonderful 2,000 parts: from reflexology to facials and special sports massage, which many men request. The well-trained therapists take a careful history and assess your needs, allergies, or special problems before beginning any treatment. You'll be ushered into a low-light room with quiet, reflective music, healthful and yummy snacks and beverages (try cucumber water!) and magazines to read, as you prepare to let go of all your stresses. Your therapist will locate all the tight muscles and work and stretch, rotate, and knead the kinks away, leaving you feeling energized and relaxed.
My facial treatment was one of total relaxation. Jo Ann, who gave the most wonderful facial massage, says Elizabeth Arden therapists and aestheticians are trained in special signature techniques. Her magic fingers felt like tiny, whirling machines gently coaxing my wrinkles and spots away. My extra dry skin was so hydrated after my green concoction treatment that I felt 16 again! I laughingly made her promise my wrinkles would never return! It feels wonderful, so pamper yourself! Save all your extra nickels and dimes 'til you can luxuriate in one of the Elizabeth Arden Spa fabulous treatments, or spend an entire day being rubbed and creamed, slathered, and made over! You'll feel like a relaxed piece of rubber when you emerge your new and gorgeous best.
