The Algonquin is a grand old early 20th century resort hotel at its core with a more recent major room addition across the street attached via second floor hallway. The inn is on a hillside a quarter mile from the shore line. Hallways in the new addition are long and, with the personna of staff, give the place a corporate feel. It is a place to be best enjoyed with a thick wallet so that you can take advantage of the spa, golf, valet parking, and elegant dining. On a budget? You can still enjoy very well appointed and spacious rooms at a great location near the coast, lug your gear from inconvenient parking, and find fair dining in town.
