Pine Inn

Location, Oceans Ave. The lobby was beautifully done. There is also the excellent Il Fornaio restaurant in the premises. The room was really small, the bathroom claustrophobic. We had 3 large suitcases but barely had room for 2. There was no fridge or safe in the room.

This was a last minute reservation after our initial 3-day weekend trip was canceled due to snow blizzard. this was a pleasant replacement in a tourist type locale. We'd return to the Pine Inn. Certain furnishings in the room had not been dusted in quite awhile. Metnion this to hotel staf and this was corrected. Also the bed sags in the middle.

While not the nicest hotel I've ever stayed in, the slanted doorways and crooked walls gave it a quaint feel. The extras were great...loved the weather report provided the night before, the mint krispies left during the turndown service, the newspaper provided in the morning, and the bottle opener fastened to the bathroom door. The staff was very friendly and helpful, helping us with our luggage and the transport and storage of our bicycles. We were able to leave our bikes in the manager's office, rather than chained to some unsecure bike rack outside or in our own room, which made us feel safer about leaving them and we really appreciated. Showers are awful! Hardly any water pressure so I had a hard time rinsing out my long hair.
