The location of this property being on the shore of the Chesapeake Bay and the view from our room balcony was the best. We enjoyed sitting out there and just taking it all in. A downside to that was our neighbors enjoyed relaxing on their balcony with marijuana and it was a little much at times (even though the property is 100% smoke free). The room was clean and comfortable (the floor could've been a little cleaner) and had a separate area for the fridge, microwave and coffee maker which I liked. We stayed 3 nights but only had housekeeping stop in one day and switch out some towels - we didn't have a door hanger in our room and I didn't call to request service so not a big deal. The daily breakfast is wonderful! Different egg and meat choice each day, waffles, cereal, breads, yogurt, fruit, juices and some good hot coffee. We definitely enjoyed the breakfast! This hotel is older but its in a beachfront spot, is clean with a great breakfast and a friendly and helpful staff - I would definitely stay again.

Great view from the room and the location is walkable to the beach. We saw dolphins from our room Two days in a row, the kids loved it. Breakfast had good options and open for a good length of time so we didn't have to rush in the morning. Water pressure in room was great for showering, water stayed hot and the AC units worked well. Staff was polite and friendly. Great location, not too far from areas of interest. Having a room separate from the living room and kitchen was a great and convenient feature.
