This former dormitory on the 200-acre grounds of St. Anthony’s Monastery is a unique lodging choice. The 60 or so rooms are basic and clean, with private bathrooms; guests can stroll the lovely riverside grounds or walk to Dock Square, about 10 minutes away. There’s also a decent pool. It’s not nearly as inexpensive as it used to be, though—the brothers have wised up to modern capitalism, and rates have escalated as a result. (They even have suites now.) Nevertheless, the place is still a fairly good bargain, especially given the fine walking trails and its position close to local beaches and restaurants.
