Fodor's Expert Review Bird Rock Hotel

The charming lodging options here range from affordable, compact rooms with private baths down the hall, to downright cushy two-bedroom suites with gas fireplaces, spacious sitting rooms, pitched ceilings, and terrific harbor views. Whatever room you choose, you're treated to great service, beds with fine linens, an expansive continental breakfast, free use of bicycles, flat-screen TVs, and iPod docks. The hotel's sister property, the Earthbox Inn & Spa, is also downtown and well recommended.
