"Stayed here for 4 nights, Checking in through a phone call and Housekeeping checking on us 1 time was the extent of staff interaction. We got a room with a kitchenette and honestly it was very helpful. Small and definitely used but not dirty. There were a few flies but it’s Chincoteague so it’s not surprising. The weather was pretty nasty and the hotels driveway was completely flooded but we had a safe and dry place to stay. The beds were perfect, I love a firm bed. Really the only complaint is I wish they provided kitchen utensils, so I didn’t have to bring them. Looks like they are going to be doing some upgrades or refurbishing the rooms. Definitely gonna come back next year."
