Orleans Inn 
$$-$$$$, Orleans
Fodor's Review:
This 1875 sea captain's mansion nearly met with the wrecking ball before Ed Maas and his family took over the place in the late '90s; today the Maas clan continues to run this bustling inn and restaurant with warmth and enthusiasm. The imposing, turreted structure has two distinct faces: one turned toward a busy intersection and a large shopping plaza, whereas the other looks longingly over tranquil Town Cove. Rooms here are simply but charmingly appointed with classic wood furniture and floral quilts on the beds; the larger waterfront suites have sitting areas and great views of the harbor. Common areas include a kitchenette with a microwave and toaster oven and a sitting room in the basement with a large TV and videos. The restaurant ($-$$$), which uses some creative ingredients in its traditional standbys, serves up large portions of fish-and-chips, grilled sirloin, and grilled salmon with orange-honey glaze. There's also an excellent Sunday brunch. Remarkably, the inn has no cancellation fee: you must pay in full for your stay at the time of booking, but even if you cancel the day of arrival, you'll receive a full refund. Local and long-distance phone calls are complimentary, too. Pros: Great waterfront location, outdoor dining overlooking the cove (about the only place in town), gracious hosts, many amenities. Cons: Some rooms face busy intersection rather than the water, rooms accessed via steep stairs.

The Inn is a very special place. The waterviews are to die for! We copuld not wait to wake up in the morning and smell the specially brewed Orleans Inn blend coffee. We even took advantage of the DVD library to watch in the theater and brought some to our suite for viewing. We can't wait to go back and visit.
