Lost power in the big storm; got a room in Old Orchard. I was very pleasantly surprised. They had a very accomodating and friendly office staff which I was not expecting in the winter. The room I got was very large with a full kitchen and a balcony. They have free high wireless which I didn't expect. The rate was only 69 and it had a on e of the new Kurik coffe makers. I would definintely stay here again. The beach was astonishingly beautiful with huge surf the next morning. We live near by and don't take advantage of this great area so close to town. They send me to JJs Restaurant which was also open in downtown OOB; although it seems like a bar, the food was very good.
