A perfect location with our room having a balcony overlooking the quaint street and ships on the water. Would prefer an in-room k-cup maker, but the in-room espresso machine was a nice touch just the same - just a little akward to get on to. In all, we will be back to Cape Charles.

Our room, 206, was very clean. That's the part that got the rating to a 3. The bed was very…read moreuncomfortable. In the morning, we went to breakfast at 9 am. There was nothing left except yogurt that was just sitting out in a bowl. I made the front desk aware and the man that had been standing there went to let the staff know. No response. No replenishing. No communication. If you are going to charge over $300 a night, care about your customers. Having stayed at boutique hotels here and in the UK, the skimpy breakfast option provided was disappointing.....well, it was nonexistent. Cereal and fruit were empty. I don't expect a European spread, but a simple continental breakfast was, in fact, part of the reservation. We finally just left. Post-survey, nobody followed up. Customer service was so terrible (other than the people working the front desk). The front desk team was helpful and professional. So, clean room and front desk team was great, comfort and customer service were nonexistent. Not a good experience AT ALL.

I had a pleasant few days in Cape Charles. I stayed with friends at the Cape Motel. As a kid I was…read moreused to the motel 8 and this is no motel 8. Great motel location for a beach town with only a few minutes away from the downtown and beach. The motel had the cutest rooms with a walk-in shower and bathroom. The room even had direct tv and proper air conditioning. The only thing that I wasn't pleased about was the bed not being as comfortable as I wanted. I just wish I was able to stay more than a night. A pool and bar is only a few steps away. What more could you ask for. I would love to come back and stay here in a near future Cape Charles visit.

My wife said the lady working in the office was very nice and friendly. The room was adequately clean for the overnight fee. By that, I mean, it's not a place I would prefer to stay in a 2nd night. There was some road noise in the room. The room needs a thorough cleaning. The fabric chair was very stained and should be avoided. The shower walls were stained. The toilet bowl was leaking because every 5 minutes, the tank was refilling. The microwave did not work. The curtain was too small to block the light from the room. Pulling back the covers, I was greeted with a hair under the covers and a stain on the bed sheet. Most of all, the heat did not work and we visited at the end of December. I suppose they must have known the heat did not work because in the corner of the room, there was a portable space heater. After about an hour of running the space heater, the room temperature became tolerable. Our options for a hotel was limited by the fact that we had our dog. So we're very appreciative that this hotel allows dogs and this cannot be understated. This is also a reason we stayed since we arrived in the late evening. We could deal with it for a 1-night stay.

I have previously stayed here a few years ago.  My experience was good, so I decided to stay again…read morethis past weekend, August 9-10, 2025.  Big mistake and never again.  I looked at traveler photos from 2018 and 2019 and those photos were accurate.  This place used to be very nice - no complaints. Please know that my photos are 2025 and VERY accurate also. The location is good, because I was visiting to handle a situation in the lower part of the county.  The person who checked me in was pleasant.  She was a young lady and we even laughed about me not bringing my pet because the purpose of the trip was to get a break from him.  Check-in/out was very easy.  No complaints. The room (costs $244 per night):  Horrible.  The beautiful headboard and footboard from previous photos are gone and were replaced with some decorative, cheap board.  The bed is VERY low and when my sister pulled up the mattress, she saw that there was no box spring, only a white board.  Yes, a white board under the mattress.  In addition, the pillows couldn't have been any cheaper or flatter, so our sleep was awful.  The mattresses were thin and hard and we all woke up with sore bodies. The kitchen:  No way would I have cooked anything in this kitchen.  The burners not only had crumbs, but were filthy.  The toaster also had crumbs.  I pulled it away from the wall and there was a dead roach behind it. Surprisingly, the refrigerator was clean, and we only kept water in it because the bottles were closed.  If a kitchen is being cleaned, how do you overlook the dead roach? The bathroom:  Beware!  The tub is high and there are NO grab bars.  To make matters worse, the tub is slippery.  If you run water in the sink, the drain is super slow and takes a while to go down the drain.  The towels and washcloths are flat, and need to be replaced.  Luckily, the water was hot and the shower was decent because after the horrible sleep the night before, we needed a good shower to make the 4.5hr drive back to Maryland. This is an honest review.  I hope you take heed and stay away.  The owners are well aware that they are running a dump, so if you decide to cut your stay short and leave early, they do not provide refunds!! I can't even imagine anyone staying here, even if they know it's a dump because the price is reasonable.  The price is outrageous for this

The decor was casual, comfortable, and we thoroughly enjoyed the long weekend. Our room had a toilet and sink, the bathroom, and shower was down the hall. The Inn was spotless and delightful.

It has a mixture of contemporary flair and 1950s retro. I hope they continue to keep some of the 50s style and furniture. The rooms are a good size and have a small refrigerator and microwave. The prices are reasonable and much less than the B&Bs in town, so a nice financial break. There are plenty of places to eat in town and there's always the truck stop Sting Rays just a few miles south on Rt 13 for breakfast. The motel is very close to Rt 13 but I did not hear the traffic at all. The grounds surrounding the motel are peaceful with pines and rhododendrons. There's a Food Lion / liquor store just across Rt 13. I'm hoping the couple succeeds in refurbishing this classic motel and creating a very nice play to stay.
