Frommer's Review

The Bass Rocks Ocean Inn offers gorgeous ocean views, spacious guest rooms, a heated pool, and modern accommodations. Across the road from the rocky shore, the sprawling, comfortable two-story motel has been a family operation since 1946. A Colonial Revival mansion built in 1899 and known as the "wedding-cake house" holds a handful of one-bedroom suites and the public areas, including a billiard room and a library. The 1960s-era guest rooms are up-to-date, but overall the property feels like an old-fashioned resort, which distinguishes it from the neighboring Atlantis. Each motel room has sliding glass doors that open onto a balcony or patio, and a king bed or two double beds. Second-floor rooms have slightly better views. In the afternoon, the staff serves coffee, tea, lemonade, and chocolate-chip cookies.

Facilities:
Heated outdoor pool; game room
