Fodor's Expert Review Maritime Inn

On a slight bluff across from Skansie Brothers Park and the harbor, this intimate property has individually decorated and themed rooms with unfussy, contemporary furnishings and gas fireplaces, and nearly every one overlooks the water; several have decks. Rooms are named for historic boats—The Genius, The Victory, The Skansonia, and so on. Units along the back of the hill afford privacy and quiet; street-side rooms have the better views.
