Charming room decor with a nice ocean view. Comfortable bed. The restaurant on the first floor is great for special occasions. The breakfast included a fruit and tapioca dish that we loved, and the view from the breakfast area was great.

Fireplace and room were lovely and views of the ocean were so nice. Spacious room and convenient location. We did make the mistake of having our window open and it was close to all the bars that evening, so it got loud but wouldn’t have changed a thing. Staff and wait staff were so kind.

Never again, too bad. Used to Love it.

Stayed here many times but not in the last few years. Parking instructions do not allow for one way streets and how to get around traffic. No place to park. "Drag your own bags upstairs." Broken headboard, mattress in terrible condition, squeaky frame. ZERO SLEEP. Coffee & breakfast never arrived asked and asked as had to catch a ferry and barely got coffee. 4 hours no food. STARTED making coffee 10 minutes AFTER breakfast was to be ready. Street noise OMG. Balcony? It was the shared balcony with seating for 20 or so people.

Doryman’s Ocean Front Inn is a quaint, historic hotel in a great beach front location. Service was pleasant, our room was clean and the bed comfortable. The complementary breakfast was minimal (yogurt, cereal, apples, oranges, tea, coffee .. we asked for decaf and were told they had none). The hotel truly needs a facelift as furnishings and amenities are very dated. There was no safe and no ice bucket/assessable ice machine (they were able to provide when we asked the front desk). We paid for a premium room with a jacuzzi tub and fireplace. The tub had a slow leak in the drain requiring refilling of the tub every 20 minutes. The furniture placement in front of the fireplace made it unusable (which wasn’t an issue for us given the time of year … October when temperatures were still in the 70s). The worst parts of the room was the inefficient air conditioner which had a sign that said NOT the set temperature below 70 or it will shut down and break (if you’re a warm sleeper expect no relief here) and the adjacent alley next to the late night donut shop with loud, “happy” people until around 3:00 am and then the street sweeper and business owners power washing the alley very early am made it impossible to leave windows open for airflow. Given the high price point and experience, we would not stay here again and do not recommend this hotel.
