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.

The property is under construction. Hot water took a while. Mattress was poor quality. The front desk was very accommodating. Expedia was informed when we arrived and I was told I would be given a full refund. The next day I spent over an hour with your horrible staff who offered me $100!

I almost cancelled my reservation based on some of the poor reviews I read. However, the stay met my expectations. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The grounds were clean. The resort was overall quiet due to the season. There was construction in progress but it was not disruptive. I enjoyed my stay.
