Best thing is the location! Very walkable to stores and walking trail. Cute aesthetics. The pool and jacuzzi were nice and warm. Sadly a lot of flaws added up. Front desk was rarely there. We only saw them at check in. You have to call them if you need them. Breakfast was very meh. Got slightly better with more guests. Maybe better to just eat elsewhere. No warm food or fruit- just drinks, cereal, pastries, bread. Waffles were available with more guests but the waffle maker was old and NOT nonstick even if you spray it with oil. Mix just got stuck, so it was unusable anyway. Room 8 bathroom door couldn’t close, the door and frame were misaligned so you have to block it with a towel on the floor to close it slightly for privacy. Most disappointing thing is we paid more for a suite with a jacuzzi and the jacuzzi didn’t even work. We had to call (No front desk) to ask what was wrong. They said it was broken and so were 2 other room jacuzzis and they said someone should’ve told us when we checked in. No apologies and no one told us at check in. No refund or new room was offered. I would have rather saved money on a normal room. I hope they can at least offer a partial refund. Very cute place but such a waste if they don’t step it up to improve these fixable issues. Not sure if we’d book again.

Staffing at the front desk is spotty. Continental breakfast was bad with bagged pastries. There were no spoons or bowls for the hot oatmeal. There were no more hot cups for coffee or tea. There's no excuse for running out of paper or utensil supplies - just sloppy & inattentiveness. Why bother even offering breakfast if the guests can't eat it?

Location of property was good. Convenient walk to shops and restaurants. The Chantico Inn management of the property is very poor. During my stay there was only one person present on the property doing everything: running front desk, setting up continental breakfast, cleaning rooms, doing laundry. Whenever we needed help, she was not easily found. We had to call someone off the premise to intervene.

Buyer beware. This hotel engages in bait and switch pricing. Reserved room through Expedia for total price and then day of arrival hotel notifies you that have an upcharge. That’s disingenuous. I am now trying to resolve the matter with expedia. No where on Expedia states additional hotels fees. Contacted manager and response was you signed the pre check in customer information card which is where they sneak in the additional fees. After that conversation I’ve been ghosted. Thank goodness Expedia is taking the lead. Additionally, staff is sparse or non existent on property and weeks prior to arrival requested a room on 1st floor due to guest needs and never received a response. Ended up having to take room in 2nd floor. We even left a day early due to these issues. I’ve stayed in lots of places and this is one of the worst. Will not be returning. If deciding to stay there I’d suggest making sure the price is the one you’re expecting.
