    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!

    See all

    Stayed here for a weekend anniversary get away. Right on…read morethe inlet of the bay. Great location near all the shops and restaurants. Our room was good size, large king bed. Window of the the water with a great view from our room. Room was neat and bed was comfortable. Stayed for the weekend, breakfast both days was good. French toast, eggs and sausage morning one. 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.

    We just returned from two nights in St. Michael's and had the pleasure of staying at Aida's…read moreVictoriana Inn. We chose a second floor room with a water view. 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.

    We had the pleasure to stay at this hidden gem of a B&B last weekend! I would highly recommend…read morePoint Breeze to anyone. We loved it and wished we could have stayed longer. Pros: There are many more popular B&Bs and inns in town, but Point Breeze has several perks. We felt like we had really lucked out and ended up with the best choice! 1) Lovely waterfront location with a great view of the harbor and lighthouse. Most of the B&Bs in St. Michaels are right on the main drag and not on the water. I doubt any of the other places have such a great view! 2) Kayaks, canoe, and bikes available for guest use -- no extra cost! 3) You're free to laze about anywhere on the beautifully landscaped yard. 4) You can fish from the private dock, and the innkeeper will help you "chicken neck" for crabs, if you want. 5) Joan, the innkeeper, makes a mean omelette and awesome German pancakes! 6) Speaking of Joan, she's a sweetie! So wonderful to talk to! 7) Very quiet area. Not right in town, so you don't get all the road noise. Very peaceful. 8) Free soft drinks available any time. 9) Costs quite a bit less than most other places in town. 10) Everything was spotlessly clean and comfortable. 11) Wi-Fi for all! 12) If you have a family of 6 and 2 people don't mind twin beds, you could rent the whole house out. Cons (sort of): 1) This isn't a con for me, but I can see how it could be for other people: Point Breeze's guest rooms are not fancy. You feel like you're staying over with relatives. We liked it, though! 2) No TVs in the guest rooms. A small TV is available in the great room. We really didn't care, however. We weren't there to watch TV. 3) If you don't want to take a short walk or bike ride into town, you'd be better off staying in town. We enjoyed the walk in -- not far for us at all! 4) Not many rooms -- only 3. But if you want to stay someplace quiet, this shouldn't be a problem. 5) 2 of the rooms share a bathroom. Not a big deal if you are staying with family or close friends. If you are a couple, there is one room available with a private bath. 6) Bare bones amenities in the bathroom, but more than adequate and comfortable.

The home is right on the water, great sunsets & immaculate. If you have an Aunt with a house on the water stay with her. If not, stay with Joan. The house has beautiful Antiques & a quaint screened in porch where breakfast is served in season. Sailboats cruise by. The whole experience was quite delightful. A five minute drive from the heart of town, which for me was perfect. Away from the crowds and tourists.

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!!

Janet was most accommodating and runs a top notch operation. The rooms were clean, well decorated, and comfortable.

The breakfasts were a particular highlight and the perfect way to fuel up for a day of exploring St. Michaels. Would definitely return in the future.

The hand wash soap said "dish soap"! Barely welcomed by "Valeria", who checked us in. She called my husband over an hour prior to check in to tell him we could check in asap. Ok. That's nice but, we were still out walking the town and taking in the sights. When we arrived, we felt like she wanted to get going and just get us checked in. No welcome , wine or any frills let's just say. We've never stayed in a B&B like this, EVER! In 45 years of marriage, this is the bottom of the bottom. My husband didn't check reviews.

However, the Inn need a major update despite the fact that the rooms are decorated beautifully adding a historical flavor to your stay. Our room, however, was not set up in a way to make guests feel comfortable. There was only one end table making it hard to find a place for your phone at night. The room could be rearranged to correct this and provide more space by removing one of the chairs. We did not have air conditioning in our room, but the fan was sufficient to keep us cool. Most of the rooms do have air conditioning. There is a quaint sitting room that needs to be renovated. The bathroom is one of the worst we have ever experienced. It was so tiny you could not open the door to the shower without closing the door to the room. There was no room to put toiletries making the bathroom feel claustrophobic.

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. Our room had beautiful antiques, but also looked brand new and had everything you would want in a modern hotel. We have been to Saint Michaels many times, and for the most part, you want to be out on the town or in the water. The Log Canoe Inn gave us a historical perspective of where we are, with a great view too! If we are able to get in later this year, we will stay there again.
