Fantastic place. Spent a long weekend here off-season (late autumn), we will definitely be back. Unfortunately the restaurant is closed for the season so we enjoyed the hotel accommodations. We switched from the Forecastle room to the Transom room and both were great. Both rooms are comfortable king size beds and Jacuzzi.
The nearby town of Rock Hall is home to my favorite music venue in the Eastern Shore region, The Mainstay. It's good to know that there's an option for such a nice place to stay when I enjoy a night there, or just a nice quiet getaway from home (I live nearby).
This peaceful marina outside the main little town is a great place for quiet evening walks, bicycle rides using one of the hotels bikes, or just a peaceful getaway for some quiet time.
Simple but adequate selections for breakfast included an egg dish made with asparagus--keeping Sriracha sauce onhand is a nice touch-- along with decent coffee, granola, fruit and other basics.
I would've given five stars but there were a few missing touches worth noting. One puzzling thing was, there was absolutely no staff available on the premises, not a single person seen here except for cleaning staff in the morning. But this could be due to the fact that this is a holiday weekend and staff people are simply not available, so that's a non-issue. Honestly, I didn't mind having the solitude at night, but at some point it would've been good just to meet and greet somebody working here.
The rooms are really nice and beautiful kept, although the shower faucet in the Forecastle room basically offered extremely hot or lukewarm, it was tricky to get the right temperature. Some adjustment or replacement needed. Again, a minor point but I noticed it. On the other hand, Jacuzzi is really nice and beautifully maintained/cleaned.
Also missing for me are just a few little luxury touches. Wife noticed no hairdryer in Forecastle room. There are no cups or glasses in the rooms, and maybe some other little touches, like robes or additional comforter in the closet would be nice--though I do understand the serious need to cut down on wasteful, excessive laundry service in hotels as an environmental consideration--but overall, the experience was really enjoyable, and the off-season rates are fantastic here. Make sure to book rooms directly through the hotel if it all possible--one may end up getting ripped off if using a booking website/third-party service for booking.
