Eastern Shore Trip
The bed was comfortable. The room was as clean as you can make an older place. The staff was delightful! The resident Barn Swallows were a charming addition.

Stayed here for the evening with my kids and needed a dog friendly hotel. Out of all the hotels this had the smallest pet fee of only $25! When most hotels are charging $75. the kitchen was a huge plus for me that way i could stay in and cook without having to spend extra money or worry about leaving the dogs unattended. If your traveling with kids just know there are no amenities to keep the kids occupied , like a pool etc. But it was quick overnight stop after a long days drive and was perfect for our situation.

Sand on the floor on entering room. Kitchen appliances old
The room was quiet. The beds were rock hard and out beds were super creaky and loud to the point if you barely moved it would be so loud it would wake everybody up. There are some uncomfortable stools but no chairs. It was kind of dump honestly.
The area was convenient to the highway. It was quiet.
The air conditioner was very loud turning on and off.
There were no comfortable chairs in the room.

This is a perfect stop for us as we drive from New York to OBX, but this year the flies were pretty bad. We spent a good portion of time trying to kill the ones that got into the room. The room is a great size, and having a full kitchen is nice. The AC was great, and beds were comfortable.

Good location
Five miles from downtown Cape Charles, convenient location. Room clean but no housekeeping one of three days. Says has full kitchen. Refrigerator rusted and smells like fish. Only one drinking glass. No sharp knife or pans.
If you like sleeping, eating, showering and watchi
The price was raised because of the 4th July. That's fine, but the mandatory charge for 1 night to book the reservation was another issue. Then not being able to pay balance the day of check in was crazy. Had to pay 5 days before check in or threatened to cancel our reservation with no refund of 1st night. CRAZY!

Arrived at 3pm for check in. Was told rooms aren't ready it'll be about 3:30pm from the front desk guy who seemed to have an attitude. We rented 4 rooms, not a single room is ready. We waited in the car until 3:30pm, still not ready. Didn't get a room until 4pm. Rooms are big however the door locks on 2 of the rooms are sketchy, the doors are loose when closed and door knobs feel like they are broken. Location is ideal and rooms are large but sadly it is badly managed.
