Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had a pretty room overlooking the water with fresh flowers and tablecloths, but it was a bit small and located close to a refrigeration room, affecting the overall quietness. The service was exceptionally nice and friendly, making the stay enjoyable. The location, perfect for a serene getaway on the Eastern shore of Maryland in August, offered peaceful surroundings near St Michaels and Oxford MD. The dining experience, although described as scrumptious online, was good but not extraordinary. The facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.
The hotel has a fabulous location with a beautiful view, but there were some issues with cleanliness and noise. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The dining was enjoyable but not exceptional. The facilities were satisfactory.
The hotel had a very intense 'Kills' like odor, making me leave the windows open on a chilly day. The rooms were beautifully furnished with views on three sides, a sitting area, and a large bathroom, although the view could have been better. Overall, a fantastic experience. The location was well-kept on the water, quiet, and tranquil, perfect and beautiful in the lovely downtown area of St Michaels. The dining experience could be more delicious but provided a beautiful view.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were immaculate and well-kept, but there was a strong odor that required leaving windows open. The service was exceptional and very supportive, providing great recommendations, while the dining was good but not exceptional. The location was serene and close to key attractions, offering a tranquil setting. Overall, a decent stay with some drawbacks.
The hotel has a gorgeous location with quiet and tranquil surroundings. The rooms could have had a better view but were overall fantastic, despite an intense 'Kills' like odor that required keeping the windows open on a chilly day. The service was quite aloof but exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable when needed. The dining experience, while good, didn't quite live up to the online scrumptious description. The facilities were satisfactory with some room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was lovely, with serene surroundings close to St Michaels and other attractions, but the room, though clean, needed a facelift and was a bit noisy due to its proximity to the refrigeration room. The service was professional but somewhat lacking warmth, although the staff was knowledgeable about gluten sensitivities. The dining experience was outstanding, offering delicious meals that went beyond expectations. Overall, the hotel provided a tranquil setting with great food, but had room for improvement in room quality and service approach.
