Frommer's Review
This old gray house, on the hilltop looming above dated motel buildings, looks a bit spooky at first glance. Fear not; Topside has spectacular ocean views at a reasonable price. The inn -- a former boardinghouse for shipyard workers -- has simple, clean, comfortable rooms mostly done in whites and pastels, furnished with a mixture of antiques and contemporary furniture. At the edge of the lawn there are two outbuildings stocked with basic motel-style units; these are on the smallish side, with dated paneling and furniture, though two end units (nos. 9 and 14) might have the best views on the entire property. Most units have some glimpse of the water, in fact, and many have decks or patios. At press time, Topside was updating about one-third of its rooms.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
