Doryman's Inn Bed & Breakfast

Comfortable and convenient for families, Doryman's is probably at its best as a honeymooners' retreat, or for an anniversary weekend for mom and dad (the desk offers gift certificates).
It has far more character than most of the 20 other hotels that compete for your business in this section of Newport Beach, where traffic pours in all summer long. I have to confess, I've had my torturous summer days getting in and out of this area. "Blade Runner" isn't my idea of dystopian Los Angeles. It's Balboa Boulevard on a hot holiday weekend, when thousands of drivers battle for what seem like hundreds of parking spots.
So here's my solution. Book a room at Doryman's Oceanfront Inn on a Thursday night, splurge at 21 Oceanfront for a special occasion, then give the budget some salvation with Charlie's the next night.
By Saturday, when the hordes pour in, swirling 'round and 'round the parking lot, you'll be gone with the summer wind.
