Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was lovely, from the sparkling wine check-in to the cookies and Fiji water in my room. The experience was fantastic, but there are still a few areas that could be improved.
My stay at the hotel was a blend of positives and drawbacks. The check-in with sparkling wine and in-room treats like cookies and Fiji water was a nice touch, but the fact that it used to be an old boarding house showed in the room quality, which was a little disappointing.
The hotel is newly renovated, clean, and pretty, offering a minimalist design which is fine. On the downside, the pricing may be a bit high for what is provided, the bathroom is small, there is no 24-hour staff, the bed quality is marginal, and the water may have a slight smell. However, the overall experience is elevated by small touches like sparkling wine at check-in and complimentary cookies and Fiji water in the room.
The hotel offers a peaceful location perfect for various outdoor activities, but some cleanliness issues were noted in the rooms. The dining experience was decent but could have more options available. The service was good overall, with some areas for improvement. A great place for relaxation and outdoor adventures, near the Chesapeake Bay.

The location was peaceful and perfect for outdoor activities like biking, hiking, and fishing, offering a relaxing atmosphere.
