Everything was fine I guess. The building and rooms were far to hot. I had to turn on the AC in my room even with outside temps in the teens. It would have been wonderful to have a microwave in the room instead of downstairs in the lobby. Some of us are early risers when there is nothing open nearby.

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.

First visit. Overall a nice place. The marina and views were very nice. The shower had mold. Also an extra resort fee was charged but no resort type offerings were open for the winter. Had the bathroom shower been clean and without the resort fee I would have given better ratings. I do however, think we will be back in warmer weather to check it all out.
