    I've gone back and forth on whether or not to write this review (particularly since I've noticed that the inn keeper, William, is often combative with negative reviews and tries to spin the narrative about problematic guests) but I feel like I would have wanted to have this information before booking George Brooks House. I along with 4 friends were in town for the St. Michael's Running Festival. Upon check in, I noticed a Tupperware bowl catching leaks from the ceiling of the main lobby. The place was clearly not kept up, as cracked/peeled paint was EVERYWHERE, as was a strong musty/mildew smell. We were shown to our rooms and immediately noticed the cracked sealing and dripping water coming from the entry way of one of our 3 rooms. We alerted William, who claimed this was brand new information. He offered a blow up mattress to accommodate 3 of us in a 2 person room. My two sisters and I decided we would all share a room to avoid the water dripping and potential mold in the damaged entryway. We, along with two other friends went to dinner and returned around 10pm. When we entered our room we saw a huge water spot on our ceiling with water dripping, almost at the foot of the bed. We were disgusted, but being so late at night and having to be up early for the race the next day, we decided to let it go and wait to deal with it until the morning. None of us slept, as we could hear the water drip, drip, drip into the trash bin we set out ALL night, even after we put a towel inside to absorb some of the drops. At one point water was leaking through the smoke detector. I can't imagine that's safe. After our race the next morning we mentioned the leak to William but decided to get cleaned up first before he came up to assess. I couldn't even take a shower in my room because the top of the shower and vent were so covered in mold. I ended up using the shower in a friends room. We went to get lunch before deciding if we were going to stay or try to find other accommodations. Unfortunately, due to the running festival, there was nothing available. While at lunch, William called and said that he had someone who wanted to rent one of our unused rooms and asked us to decide which two rooms we wanted to accommodate the 5 of us. He said that he would refund one room, but at this point our stay was so miserable that I don't feel that was sufficient. We elected to stay in the room with the leaking entryway, because at least it wasn't dripping next to the bed. The extra room he was going to "rent out" stayed empty with the door wide open into the elements all night into the next morning. Long story short, we were looking forward to a fun girls weekend with the running festival. We ended up at the Bates motel. Rusty paint cans by the common area, missing light switch covers, leaks everywhere, and don't even get me started on the "pool". (Yes I understand it wasn't open until the following week, but good luck getting rid of that filth in a week). I know William has said in response to prior reviews that his painter/handy man passed away from cancer, to which I absolutely sympathize! However, when you're running a business and you let your place go to the point of being a health hazard, it's time to stop making excuses as to why you cannot maintain a property, or to sell it to someone who can. To be honest, if he had been apologetic and accommodating from the start, I probably wouldn't be leaving this review. But his attitude and theatrics about the leaks "just happening" were over the top. We did get money back for one room. It didn't make up for the dumpster fire we had to deal with our entire weekend. I'm shocked the health department hasn't shut this place down. Good luck William, I hope you get your shit together. Wouldn't stay here again (or at any property he manages) if you paid me.

    Pool area... shared by a few couples all safely distanced. Mid week its very quiet.

    Will Workman is a wonderful host. We were offered outside seating for breakfast and basically felt like we had the entire pool to ourselves. In the scary world of Covid... this was a welcome safe option. We'll be back soon. M... maybe with the entire family.

    Sunday's breakfast- picture was taken at 8:30 Sunday night.

    We just stayed here for two nights and couldn't wait to leave this morning. Yesterday's breakfast was never cleaned up, the grease was still in the pan coagulated- gross! Will, the owner, was the only staff we saw. For $198/night I would expect a cleaner kitchen and dining area. The rooms that checked out Sunday morning were not cleaned up, unmade beds and dirty towels just sitting there. I did a more thorough review on TripAdvisor if you want to know more. Just heard from the owner- apparently housekeeper was sick- but as an owner shouldn't he have stayed to clean it all?? Not just leave it there!

We asked to be moved to the dining room. Staff was extremely rude and stuck us in the back in the dining room by ourselves and ignored us until we asked to be served. For $155 per person, we expected a much higher level of quality and service. The service throughout the meal was extremely slow, the food was mediocre at best, and the brunch setup felt confusing and underwhelming. There was a buffet for salads and sides, but then guests still had to select an entrée from a dinner-style menu in the middle of the day. The dessert buffet was nearly empty by the time we got there, and we ended up being served parfaits instead. They didn't even provide parfait spoons, and we had to ask for a knife just to scrape the bottom of the glass. The property itself is beautiful, but unfortunately the dining experience did not come close to justifying the price. We left feeling frustrated and disappointed, especially for a special occasion like Mother's Day.

Morning two eggs or pumpkin pancakes. Both were great. Only negative was the shower in our room. It was a stall shower, which we knew, but the water pressure was terrible. It also took about 10 minutes to come to a warm temp, I felt bad running the water that long. All and all great stay. I'd 100% suggest this place for a weekend getaway.

Before we left I planned a surprise sailing cruise for my fiancé and Aida left a sweet note about the gift from me and vouchers for complimentary gelato around the corner for us. She is so accommodating even when a few little things didn't go as planned for us. (Car trouble, weather... not her doing at all but she made them easier to manage.) She has great suggestions for what to do in St. Michael's. Breakfast was set up beautifully in the morning and cooked to order. Portions were huge if you wanted them. We are lighter eaters and once I told her that she gave us perfect smaller portions, but if you want a big breakfast you will not be disappointed here. The inn only has about eight rooms, and each is different. Ours was very comfortable with flowers, art and antiques wherever I looked. There's central air and the softest towels I think I've ever used. She lets you keep stuff in the fridge and even said we could use her laundry when my fiancé sat on something and messed up his pants. We had leftovers when we needed to leave and she gave us a styrofoam cooler to take with us... that will be used a lot this summer, I'm sure. The location is walking distance to most things in town, so while there is off street parking, we walked most of the time. You can't go wrong here with Aida's Victoriana Inn! Note, though, a lot of businesses and restaurants in town are operating at partial capacity or reduced hours, or are closed due to Covid 19. This has nothing to do with the Victoriana Inn, but it is worth calling ahead if you have specific things you want to do while in town to make sure they're available. We had to shift some dining plans but it was a last minute getaway and we didn't care all that much. It a worked out but if you have your heart set on something, check in advance to make sure you'll be able to do it.

It's inside three historic buildings along the main street near the very posh Inn at Perry Cabin. The main building used to be a schoolhouse. Here's my overnight experience. 1) Check-In: The hotel communicated with me via text with clear instructions on how to check-in. I parked in the main building's lot and checked in inside their cafe/shop. My room with a king-sized bed was in The Brick House across the street from the main building. Even with a short line, I was in my room within minutes. 2) Rooms: My room came with a shared balcony overlooking the main street, a little fireplace, a comfy king-sized bed, good shower water pressure, towels, an iron and board, a TV, and free water and chips. The minimalist farmhouse look plays well inside the room. There are plenty of outlets and a shelf for my belongings. Two books came in the room for light reading. 3) Space: The main building has a little shop with local products, snacks, and more. There's also a coffee shop and their restaurant- Ruse. 4) Amenities: Each building has a free parking lot for guests. Breakfast is included each morning as are snacks in the room. Every evening, you can pick up a free s'more kit and roast marshmallows in the back firepit. The hotel offers free yard games and bikes for guests to use. 5) Service: The woman behind the front desk was friendly and helpful! Other reviews noted this, but the walls are thin. I could hear everything the guests next door to me were saying and doing- doors slamming, talking, everything.

The main building is cute, with a lovely sundry shop and the hotel's restaurant, Ruse. We stayed in the building across the street. The room was fine, albeit small. I think I was expecting it to be more luxe. I really enjoyed the shower and the fireplace, which they had just turned on for the season. We noticed the vents were dirty and the filters needed cleaning, so even though everything else appeared clean, who knows what else they are missing. The bed and pillows were soft and comfortable. I appreciated the snacks and water. There was no sound proofing in the building, as I could hear doors slamming and conversations all night. And, a staff member walked into our room as we were getting settled. I definitely used my door jammer/alarm that night, because that was not good. The door didn't have an internal latch, peep hole, or do not disturb sign. However, this building was only accessible by keycard, which was good. Breakfast is included. There are pastry, granola, and yogurt options, plus coffee (they use Ceremony) and juice. I loved the savory biscuit, but get there early for that. I'd return, though I'd book a better room class than standard king, and perhaps that would improve my experience. However, my partner would not return. I hope they act upon their areas of improvement.

The owner, Janet, was very helpful both before us picking this B&B and during our entire stay. Our stay was from Fri-Sun in the middle of winter and we wound up being the only guests in the house that weekend, which was nice for us. Upon arrival, Janet takes you into the beautifully decorated parlor room where you fill out forms for when and what you want for breakfast each morning. She had a different menu for each day of our stay. She then gave us a tour of the home while taking us to our room, the Harrison room, which was located on the 2nd floor. There are only three guest rooms, two of which are located at the 2nd floor and the other on the 3rd floor. Janet has done a wonderful job of decorating this very old home and we enjoyed our stay in the lovely and comfortable Harrison room. The room is equipped with a queen sized bed, a sitting area, fireplace, HDTV, coffee maker, and a private bathroom. The wood burning fireplace was all set, so all we had to do was light it. Being the middle of winter, we lit the fire each night. The bathroom sink is small, but there is a built-in open medicine cabinet where you can store your toiletry items. Close the bathroom door and flip on the heater, and the bathroom will be nice and toasty for yourself! My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed each of our breakfasts. Both days, we started with fresh fruit, which came with a little scoop of raspberry sherbet. Our first breakfast consisted of french toast with sausage on the side and on the second morning, we had waffles with bananas. You have your choice of coffee, teas, and juices. She also has an assortment of DaVinci syrups to add to your coffee if you like. Breakfast was always ready at the time we specified each morning, and we got to enjoy our breakfast while sitting next to a roaring fire. The dining room consists of one round table, so you would be potentially eating with others if other guests picked a breakfast time the same or close to what you picked. Free WiFi is provided, but I found it to be slow much of the time. I think the issue had to do with where the access point is located. I had a fairly weak WiFi signal from the room on the second floor, but things improved somewhat when I sat in the parlor room. Ultimately it wasn't a real big deal for me as my device had a cellular signal and I wound up using that most of the time. The B&B is located just off a side street in downtown St. Michaels and we simply walked into town to go shopping. You are also very close to the Maritime Museum. Only street parking is available around the house. Being the dead of winter, we had no difficulty parking. I would say watch out for the no parking signs as I accidentally wound up illegally parking the first night. Fortunately a neighbor told me before a cop discovered it! This B&B accepts cash or check only and you do have to pay 50% at the time of reservation. I would have preferred that credit cards were accepted. In summary, Dr. Dodson house provided my wife and I and very relaxing weekend getaway with delicious breakfasts, and this is exactly what we were looking for. If we ever find ourselves back in St. Michaels, we will definitely look to see if there is availability at Dr. Dodson's house!!

Of course, Saint Michaels and the Miles River are famous for the Log Canoe races, which date back to the 1800s. The Inn is situated in Saint Michaels harbor, with amazing views and surrounded by restaurants and boats. However, what we found most interesting was the charm of our room. Each room is named after one of the Log Canoes that still race to this day. We were fortunate enough to stay in the Magic room, the boat that happens to be skippered by the owner of the Inn (and boat yard next door). The rooms aren't large, but the attention to detail and the historical photos and images and furnishings show that the owners care about providing a unique experience that you can't get in any other place in Saint Michaels.

Delicious, as was the light vegetable serving my boyfriend had since he is more vegetarian. The oyster stew was also wonderful (no wonder I was so full) and they provided a vegetable soup that was too. Our mains around the table were a black cod (again, I think that's accurate), and Maryland Crab Boil which really is a crab cake and very crab full. The fish had a nice crisp touch but tender and moist - all excellent and just enough for us. There was a vegan chocolate mousse made with avocado, a flourless dairy version, both good. We also had the panna cotte and an interesting donut with tropical fruit. I could tell my server wasn't quite impressed with the cake donut but I had to try it and it was just ok. Downsides? It was a 3 hour meal. Long breaks in between. Good thing we all like each other and have many stories to tell. Whether there was a large party going on or what, we don't know. They could have kept us more informed about timing and/or offered another round of wine but we were pretty much on our own in between as we were outside on the patio. Otherwise a five star experience and nice staff though they feel a bit young and at the mercy of the kitchen.

With the white walls and high ceiling, somehow the space is still intimate and cozy. Service was also personable. Our lovely server told us about his upcoming trip to Spain and always made sure we had what we needed throughout dinner. I ordered the beef tenderloin and my husband had the sea bass. Both entrees were flavorful and hit the spot. If you are very hungry, I would recommend an appetizer. The entree portions are not huge, but they are enough if you're not too hungry. For dessert we had coffee and the Smith Island cake. It was the perfect end to our dinner.
