“Very pleasant place to stay”

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Refuge Inn. Its atmosphere is perfect for the Chincoteague/Assoteague Area. Everything was fine.

“Made our stay special”

The Refuge Inn was very pleasant, the room was very clean and pretty, and although our little patio was facing the driveway, it also faces the pony corral and trees, so it was still very nice. We had a little seagull visitor who stood right in our patio, almost coming in the room! Very cute. Friendly staff, nice continental breakfast. Lovely pool area that was heated, and partially covered for those who may want to stay out of the sun. Overall, very nice, and would return again!

“First time but many visits to follow”

My wife and I had never been to this area so the hotel we booked was a shot in the dark. We loved it and would recommend it to anyone. The rooms were extremely clean and the staff was friendly and very helpful. We hope to go back, this is our new favorite vacation spot and hotel to stay.

“Chincoteague's finest”

The Inn was great. The staff was friendly and helpful and the room was always very clean. Nice continental breakfast each morning for the taking. Rental bikes at the inn which was convenient to the refuge.

“Can't wait to go back!”

One of my family's favorite long weekend getaway destinations. The Refuge Inn is top-notch in terms of hotel, amenities (heated pool is a favorite in the winter), and location right on the edge of the park. Ponies in the backyard don't hurt, either!

“Biking on Asseteague”

We had a great stay and will return to this hotel next time we come to Chincoteague

“Nice and Neat, but in need of some TLC”

This was my first stay at Refuge Inn. I really enjoyed the hotel and would recommend it to anyone wishing to visit Chincoteague Island. The hotel is literally a couple of minutes from the wildlife refuge as well as being conveniently located to many of the local attractions. The staff are terrific. The pool and amenities are okay. Room upkeep could use a little attention, but I didn't find anything that would prevent me from staying there again.

“Very pleasant property in a wonderful location!”

The Refuge Inn is wonderfully located just outside the National Refuge. They've added a complimentary continental breakfast, which is provided in a pleasant and spotlessly clean area. One hot item is offered each day. King rooms are larger and more comfortable - worth the upgrade. Several decent restaurants are close by, some within walking distance. Wi-Fi is available and dependable. The only downside we found was the noise between rooms, which if the Inn is full, could be problematic. Sounded like a herd of Chincoteague ponies above us on the first morning, consequently we will opt for a second floor room on our next visit. All in all, this is a very pleasant place to stay with friendly staff, clean rooms and nature at your doorstep.

“excellent location and staff, modest breakfast”

Slightly older inn but kept in good condition with excellent location and immediate access to rental bikes, use of pool & jacuzzi, etc. Breakfast options somewhat limited, especially for those on special diets (it is represented as continental plus, which is accurate), but everything else was very pleasant. Also, rooms are attractive but appear to be primarily designed for couples from what I could see, though the cot added for our daughter fit fine in the room and was not creaky like some cheap cots we have had in other hotels.

“Will stay at Refuge Inn again and again.”

I loved this hotel, its onsite ponies for my grandchildren to pet and feed, the restaurants we could walk to, the closeness to the Oyster Festival, which is why I was in Chincoteague that particular weekend, and the lovely woodsy location. My daughter, husband, and 3 children, 7 and under, all enjoyed the stay as well. The reservations person accommodated our request for adjoining rooms on the first floor - a must for a joint family of 6 and our bags. Only problem was the sliding glass doors of each of our rooms were very hard to unlock, open, and lock. I should have mentioned it before leaving, but forgot. Overall it was a 5-star experience for me - I'll book again for next year's festival.
