Chesapeake City County Vacations & Trips from $187

The staff was very nice and the room was small but comfortable with a view of the ocean.

The location was fine and the bed was comfortable. Other than that, the inn didn’t have much else to recommend it. We stayed here twice many years ago and we had fond memories of the beauty and service. The staff we saw were nice but the available amenities were minimal. The furniture was tired and the decorating was a bit weird. I’ve experienced better amenities and services in mid-priced business hotels. The Sanderling Inn was a poor value.

I’d seen some pretty mixed opinions about this hotel on different sites, including Google Reviews, so I arrived a bit unsure of what to expect. In the end, it turned out to be a decent place. It’s not super-luxurious and not perfectly clean—small things like a dusty elevator remind you it’s an older property—but nothing critical. I had booked a room with an ocean view, and only the next day I realized I’d been given a room with just a partial view. I checked in late and didn’t really have the energy to ask for a change, but if I had noticed earlier, I probably would have requested the correct room. One thing that was important to me: the hotel returned my deposit without any issues, and there were no unexpected charges beyond what was originally stated. Overall, I had a good stay. The location was the main reason I chose this hotel—walking distance to the National Park, a quiet atmosphere, and easy access to the beach right from the property. During my five-night stay, everything worked as expected, and there were no unpleasant surprises. It’s not a new hotel, but everything functioned as advertised, and my stay was comfortable.

The room was available upon arrival, the staff was courteous and complimentary valet parking for those with a handicap sticker.

Staff was very nice and accommodating.
