Today, the Manchester Inn Bed and Breakfast stands out as one of the seaside resort's most precious architectural gems. The magnificent pillared front gallery leads you into a spacious lobby with a Steinway piano, camelback sofas, and a wooden-railed staircase that ascends to blue and mauve hallways. The Manchester Inn Bed and Breakfast actually comprises three different buildings. Two inns built during the 1880's and an old house on Bath Avenue were melded together in 1925 to form a bed and breakfast that today offers 40 uniquely decorated rooms, most with private baths. Five second-floor rooms feature private porches overlooking the ocean.
All rooms have ceiling fans, and air conditioners are available.
Connecting rooms provide convenience for couples or families traveling together, and there are individual family rooms available for up to four people. Business travelers enjoy modem hook-ups and a complimentary fax service, and everyone's invited to make full use of the guest kitchen. During the off-season, guests enjoy a deluxe continental breakfast. The restaurant offers an impressive Sunday brunch, tempting lunches, and nightly gourmet fare for those wishing to make dinner reservations. In between meals, you can relax with a leisurely stroll down Ocean Grove's quiet boardwalk.
