The decorating style here is luxurious but refreshingly simple. Rather than chintz and antiques, there are wrought-iron bed frames, wooden armoires, and rattan armchairs. Some rooms have fireplaces, some hot tubs, and one (Room 215) even has its own sunny veranda that looks out on the ocean. The in-town location makes walking to area attractions easy, and pet owners will be pleased to hear that in the spirit of the dog-loving owner, movie star Doris Day, animal companions are always welcome. Pros: Luxury without snobbery, popular lounge, traditional British-style afternoon tea. Cons: Not for the pet-phobic.
