They were in the middle of a renovation, which we knew when we booked, but our room was updated already. The only problem we had was someone smoking around our room and i had to call and complain about it. We would definitely go back, but when it's during the warmer season

The room had cracks in the celing. It was a little mold in the bath. The water didn't drain properly when taking a shower. I couldn't hardly sleep comfortably because of the noise coming from the elevator.

Great place to stay!
The check in was awesome. Caleb was so knowledgeable and gave me so much good information. He gave me the room details that was staying in. The bonus details he gave was future places to fish from. He made my 10th anniversary with my significant other a great stay. Also his colleague that was with him was great.

Nice mature hotel thats convenient to everything.
Overall a good hotel with mostly all pluses. Clean, comfortable, character, restaurants convenient to everything (all within walking distance) including Chesapeake Bay, stores and restaurants. The minuses they only give you one wash cloth per person and the rug in the room seemed old and no microwave in room.

Enjoyable stay on the Bay in the offseason. Room was clean, nice view. Ongoing construction was away from room. The two restaurants were convenient and served local seafood!

DONT STAY HERE
It was awful. Immediately upon opening the door to the room there was just an awful old smell reeking from the room so we opened the windows and blasted the AC to get the smell out. The beds are super old and uncomfortable. The couch is clearly old and smelled awful. The prices are way too high for that kind of quality. Stop putting millions into a parking garage and work on the hotel!!! Also there’s no breakfast! Look somewhere else before staying here.
