Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Property is under construction so very limited on area. First thing on checking in there’s a 20 per night resort tax that is not advertised when checking in. Basically entire resort is closed down with no access except to casino which I don’t gamble so would have been cheaper to stay at super 8 for same quality room and more amenities. Very disappointing. Grew up in the area and rod and reel used to be place to go but I wouldn’t recommend to anyone.

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

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.
