The staff was very friendly and attentive. We stayed in room six, which is probably the most quietest room they have which was nice. It was in early October, so not as much hustle and bustle as in the summer, which was nice. The location is perfect and the restaurant that is attached, 21 Oceanfront, is great and I would highly recommend. It’s definitely a hotel that I would recommend more for couples and not children.

We loved our stay at Dorman’s! We stayed in room one which had the most incredible view. There was a rooftop terrace for guests that overlooked the ocean and the views were breathtaking. Breakfast was small but fresh and excellent. The staff were more than attentive and were so kind. The hotel had such a vintage charm to it, it was so adorable. The only downfall was on a Friday/Saturday, the streets can be very loud but that obviously isn’t the hotels fault. They gave us a noise machine and we wore earplugs! I highlighly recommend this hotel!

Staying at the Doryman's Inn is always great. The staff is super friendly and helpful, and the location can't be beat. Just keep in mind that people are out and about on the boardwalk till late, so if you are looking for a super quiet place, this might not be for you.

Great room. It had a weird window that could not be closed via a shade. The feature over the jacuzzi tub was cracked, and the wood hanging on an "angle"

Lovely and charming! Great location

This bed and breakfast is a charming gem! It was surprisingly quiet considering the location. The staff is helpful and pleasant. The building is also accessed by code and so only guests in and out. The location is central and on the beach. With free parking across from the Inn. We would definitely stay again.

The hotel was lovely. Staff was nice. Walking to restaurants and the beach. Says bed and breakfast but only had breads, yogurts, fruit and cereal. Not a real bed and breakfast hotel.

Everything was brilliant. I think a luggage cart would be a positive addition, and possibly a few croissant might be positive for breakfast. Thank you for a great stay. The Lady at the ft. desk, was marvelous.

Loved the location, so close to multiple restaurants and places to walk to. Didn't sleep well as lots of outside noise that woke us up frequently. With that sad bed was very comfortable, room decorated so nice and large bathroom . The staff were all so friendly and helpful, had a beeping smoke alarm when we got back from dinner and was fixed minutes after reporting.

Great location right across from beach and bustle. Charming decor and period drama. Clean but seemed a little musty. Day bed/trundle mattress was not comfy. Amazing fireplace and big shower stall. Nice patio and rooftop with view. Good continental breakfast. Front desk staff was very friendly.
