Our stay at the Refuge Inn was comfortable, and the hotel's location is excellent. It's conveniently situated right at the entrance of the national park, with everything—including shops and restaurants—within walking distance. There's even a McDonald's right next to the hotel. However, there were a few aspects we didn’t like. The rooms do not have a microwave, which would have been helpful. Also, the breakfast was quite minimal—mostly pre-packaged, ready-to-go items delivered to the room. While we understand there may be space constraints, having a designated breakfast area that serves a more substantial meal would definitely enhance the overall experience.

While this seems to be a more old-fashioned property, it is definitely very clean and comfortable. I’m a bit of an germaphobe and although I love to travel, some hotels give me an ick. I did not feel icky here at all. Upon check in we were greeted in a friendly and welcoming manner. We have dealt with three different people at the front desk during our stay and they were all very friendly and professional. We did have an issue with the AC and addressed and it was taken care of immediately. There is complimentary breakfast that gets delivered to your door which is pretty awesome and convenient. The pool is indoor/outdoor. It has a partial roof and I believe the other half can be covered with a roof as well during off season? But since it was hot when we were there, it was open. Nice cozy atmosphere all around. There are horses on the property that my kids (and I) loved. You can purchase a discounted bike voucher for the bike store right next door. The property is located super convenient to literally everything. We rented bikes and explored Chincoteague which was a lot of fun. But you can even walk to a lot of the local restaurants and shops. The beach isn’t far either. I would absolutely recommend this place!

This is a delightful family owned hotel. The rooms are clean and nicely decorated. The room has an in-room coffee maker and refrigerator. There was a hair dryer and nice toiletries as well. The microwave, vending machines, laundry facilities, lending library, and area information were in a common area. The grounds are well maintained and had many beautiful plants. The pool and hot tub are clean and well maintained. Towels are provided for pool and hot tub use. The staff is warm and helpful. The hotel has a tasteful gift shop. The hotel is next door to some fenced in Chincoteague ponies which you can feed with food they have for purchase from a dispenser. There is a roof observation deck which is accessed by a narrow spiral staircase. There is also a workout room and sauna available for use. Breakfast is simple (chosen from options the night before) and delivered to your door during a window of time you select. Coffee is also available just off the main lobby. The hotel is quiet and comfortable. Many thoughtful touches. We will be back. Highly recommend!!

Our stay at Refuge Inn was the best. The staff was so friendly and helpful and our accomodations were great. Our room was very clean, the beds were comfortable and the ponies on the property were a bonus. We loved the way breakfast was served. Refuge Inn has the vibe of Chincoteague lsland; so much better than chain hotels. Independently owned and a rich history with the island, I can't imagine staying anywhere else. I highly recommend Refuge Inn.

1st grandparent vacation with our little ones.

The Refuge Inn was perfect. Everyone was friendly, helpful and it was very clean and quiet. There was a nice area for picnicking and a combo indoor/outdoor pool. They had a sack breakfast, that was included, that you chose the night before and it was delivered to your door at your specified time in the morning.The croissant egg sandwiches were tasty and freshly made. The icing on the cake were the Assateague ponies that you could feed right on the property.
