New London- Coast Guard Academy

We are taking our son on a tour of the Coast Guard Academy in a couple of weeks. I am thinking of booking a room at the Holiday Inn. Is this a good choice or is there a better option? We appreciate clean, but don%26#39;t need anything fancy. Any other ideas on what he should see if he decides to go to the Academy???

We also want to take the train from RI to Harvard to visit our niece at some point during the weekend. Any tips would be great!

The Holiday Inn would suit you fine! As for train information www.amtrak.com for schedules etc...

Mystic isn%26#39;t far from there. I would also recommend Newport, RI. as a future place to visit. As Poppa said, check Amtrak for train service. New London usually is a stop (though not always) on the Boston to New York line, you would go through Providence going up to Boston. From there you can take the T or a cab to Harvard.

Good calls... Downtown New London is worth a drive by /through as well. Newport is under 1hr from New London ...
