I got a huge kick out of this completely unrenovated Victorian hotel -- it made me feel like a character in an O. Henry story, someplace Della and Jim might have gone for a few days by the sea. Della and Jim, you may recall, are the broke young couple from Gift of the Magi, and this hotel has a similarly down-at-heels feeling that for $65 a night on a summer weekend I was willing to find romantic, although the other couple we were with found it significantly less so. The ocean breezes kept the worst of the heat at bay and with the ceiling fan on we were actually chilly in the morning.
