    This is the main building for the welcome center  Photo taken September 22, 2019.

    This is the Maryland Welcome Center when heading north along US 13 coming in from Virginia. This center is right after entering the state. As you enter, cars enter to the left while trucks enter to the right at the fork when coming in. There was ample parking available during this visit. My visit here was on September 22, 2019. While traveling north from Virginia Beach to New Jersey, we stopped in to take a break from driving the past few hours. It was great to get up and stretch those legs too. This welcome center has one main building. When looking at the building, the men's restrooms are on the left side; the women's restrooms are on the right side; the center is the welcome center with info for Maryland attractions and such. There are some vending machines on the left side of the building. As for the restrooms, they were clean, but some of the mechanics need some fixing, such as being able to flush afterwards. Outside, you can also check out some information about the Maryland Eastern Shore with some signs and such about the area and some history as well. There are some covered and uncovered picnic areas as well. Overall, this was just an okay rest area and welcome center. Some updates are needed, especially in the restrooms. The stop did accomplish what I was trying to do though, so it was just okay. If you do need to take a stop, you should still make the stop, as there aren't any other actual rest areas until Smyrna, DE when headed north.

    Average rest stop with okay rest rooms and felt moderately safe. Not nearly as nice a VAs stop, but definitely not the worst.

The huge home is enchanting and comfortable and homey. Our hostess Grace was charming and friendly and welcoming. And the breakfasts were off the chart great, healthy and delicious. We will definitely stay there again and again. This is a wonderful year around destination. We highly recommend this B&B.

We were excited to see the Rainbow and Trans flags when we pulled up and knew we were in a friendly place. The room was lovely and large. The bed was incredibly comfortable and we slept well. Although not on Chincoteague it is a short drive to the island which was beautiful every morning. The grounds of the inn are well maintained and beautifully cared for with paths between each building. The owner showed us where breakfast would be and even brought breakfast to our room one day. Breakfast was also wonderful every morning with juice, fruit, a sweet, and a main dish which was either sweet or savory depending on the day. Our breakfasts including a peach croissant casserole, and a hatch chili egg bake just to name a few. We regularly saw the owners around the grounds and they were always very friendly. We did not get to enjoy the pool but it looked lovely and well maintained. I have only two minor complaints which are more personal preference that actually complain. The room had four windows the were high on the wall which were not covered which woke my partner every morning. These should probably be either covered or the bed placement changed. The button for the big tub in the bathroom was very hard to push on and off. These are really minor things and do not distract from the overall wonderful experience we had. Of note there a ton on Mosquito's on the eastern shore and the islands. Make sure if you are traveling this way you bring bug spray. One last quick note, we got the soaps and lotion add one. The soaps and lotions were wonderful both made and to use. I would recommend this B and B to anyone who wants to enjoy Chincoteague and the eastern shore.

My family and I made a quick trip to visit other family in the area. It just so happened to be Memorial Day Weekend and we made a last minute decision to spend the night. Considering it's a holiday weekend and short notice, the cost of other, better hotels in the area were insane. Therefore, we settled for staying here. On the positive side, it appears they did do some small renovations with the flooring and the beds. They now have hardwood floors. However, everything else needs renovating. Since I knew I would be going home the next day, I refused to shower in there. I waited until I got home. If there's one thing I'm picky about, it's a hotel. Therefore, this is a place that I would rather not stay in if I can help it.

Our route needed to take us…read morethrough Bethany Beach and not wanting to spend a huge amount for a quick overnight, we made the mistake picking this motel. I'm not super fancy-all I want is a clean and safe place. the best thing about this motel was the gentleman at the check-in; he was very,very nice. I think we would have been less clean if we showered rather than just staying as we were from our day of driving. When we woke, our plan was to beat feet, especially after my daughter found a dead cockroach under the toilet. Didn't cockroach died in the fifthly bathroom!! lol. My suggestion - if you find yourself in this area, spend the money and stay somewhere nicer, which would be anywhere else. My family has never left a hotel so fast. I note I didn't raise these issues with the motel because I was just wanted out.

Check in was easy and efficient and our room was in the adjoining house with a large great-room that was stunning available to everyone staying there with a fireplace, large kitchen, sitting area and dining table. I loved that their sign said to please vacate by 9pm bc our room was on the third floor directly across the hall from it and right beside the community half-bath servicing it and the room had no soundproofing at all. You could hear even minimal talking from that great room (and it doesn't have a door). That is my only complaint about this Inn. The provided breakfast daily was wonderful. The first day we had quiche and the second we had chocolate chip pancakes. All made fresh when you sit down and included sides, coffee, fruit, and yogurt. Really delicious and good quality and the staff were so nice. My husband is diabetic and they easily modified the options to meet his lower carb/sugar request. They also have daily evening tea with a sweet treat which is fun and coffee, tea, and lemon water are available all day and night. Our room was beautiful and looked exactly like the photos and the inn is so charming. Perfect landscaping, all common areas are so cute, and the location is to die for right on the beach, with access to the sand just steps from the lovely wrap-around porch. We were unlucky and it was basically a freezing Nor'easter the weekend we came, so we didn't get to enjoy the beach, the bikes, or any of the out door amenities - but we still found it charming and enjoyed both the Inn and the town. Hopefully, we can come back again in the fall and enjoy milder weather.

The ocean is the best part - you can't beat ocean front property and views. Their service is top-notch - welcoming, accommodating, and great attention to detail. I felt like I was in a 5 star hotel, but even better, it is an old charming, turn of the century, quaint home experience. Breakfasts were delicious and plentiful. Amenities are great at no extra cost - I took advantage of their bikes and yoga mat! I love that they invite you to stay after check-out to continue to enjoy the property. And watching the sunrise over the water was the icing on the cake. Normally, their rates would be beyond my budget, but with the WinterEscape promotion of 20% off, it was very reasonable. I will definitely be back!

I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. We generally do not stay at Fairfield Inn properties, but we were able to get a waterfront room last minute on a holiday weekend (and I read several reviews talking about the cleanliness and remodel). It is walking distance to charming coffee shops and a quaint downtown.

The photos they chose to use were all of Asian women wearing masks. I know it was not their intent to come off as racist but as an Asian person, I find it upsetting. The subtle implication is that Asians are the cause of the virus and that you should protect yourself from us. When a friend of mine who is also Asian voiced her concerns about how this offended her, the on duty manager promised to remove the signs and reprint them with less offensive selections. The manager then proceeded to leave for the day without fixing it. 4 hours later the new manager on duty refused to take down the pictures and told my friend she would have to wait until tomorrow for the next manager to come back and speak to her. I will never stay at this hotel and I don't suggest you do either. There are plenty of hotel options where the staff is more hospitable and representative of humanity than this one.
