This inn is a trip and a treat. The front desk people are helpful, kind, and fun. It is a bit pricy, the TV set directions are not really helpful, the toilet paper is of a lesser quality than the airport, BUT, all those minor gripes aside, I would
return again and again. This one of a kind place is a treasure. Roof desk to watch the surf...comfy bed...everything one needs for a pleasant and wonderful weekend. Thanks Doryman's Inn. It was great.

Fabulous place- cozy rooms beautifully appointed and maintained- accommodating staff and well informed. Fabulous views and sunsets- also a terrific restaurant attached to the hotel- specializing in fine dining and steaks and seafood.
Specifically, our dinner- a filet mignon and my partner had free range chicken breast - garlic mashed potatoes- roasted Brussels sprouts and a fabulously decadent chocolate cake.

I have stayed here twice in the last few months and it has been an incredible stay. The first time the entire block had a blackout and Laura (sorry if spelling is wrong) brought us flashlights and stayed to make sure everyone was okay . And the second time she went ABOVE and beyond the realm of expectations to make sure my needs were taken care of. I cannot recommend this place and the care enough.

Quaint, romantic little place. Only 10 rooms. Very convenient location. Excellent staff. Highly recommend for 2 or 3 day visit. Not the best breakfast but many places within walking distance if you want more.
