Orleans Inn Review

This bustling inn and restaurant, housed in an 1875 sea captain's mansion, is run with warmth and enthusiasm by the Maas family. The imposing, turreted structure has two distinct faces: one is turned toward a busy intersection and a large shopping plaza, whereas the other looks longingly over tranquil Town Cove. Rooms here are simply but charmingly appointed with classic wood furniture and floral quilts on the beds; the larger waterfront suites have sitting areas, fireplaces, and great views of the harbor. Common areas include a kitchenette and a sitting room with a large TV. The restaurant, which uses some creative ingredients in its traditional standbys, serves large portions of fish-and-chips, grilled sirloin, and grilled salmon with orange-honey glaze. On Friday evenings the tavern is filled with the sounds of live traditional Irish music, played by local musicians.
