Staff was friendly. The room was dirty- lamps and vents were rusted, drain stop on tub, blinds were off track, and tv didn’t work both days. We complained and were credited the cost of one nights stay. Despite that, we wanted to give an accurate review.

Very pleasant experience
The stay was wonderful, though very short. The staff was friendly, the room was large and comfortable; loved the little kitchenette area. The size of the tv would be my only negative and that’s not that big a deal. The restaurant next door was very nice and convenient and the food was delicious.

The room was okay, but the property is not in great shape. There were 5-6 bikes presumably for guest use that were broken and heaped up in the garage, a patio off the garage was chocked full of weeds, and the person at the deck was wearing cut off short jeans and a top that showed much of her belly and tatoos. Plus she left a child behind the desk to answer guest questions - like "where to we get ice?" The kid was cute but shouldn't be front facing like that with her mom no where to be found - or outside smoking. This did not leave a great impression on our family and we said we would not book there again.

The owners do not seem to care that things are falling apart. Shuttered doors came right off the pinned hinges. Furniture needs to be replaced. Flooring seems kind of cruddy. Deck chairs are back breaking. Views and location are stunning. Some care with the back patio, weeding, grass removal between pavers, better furniture, would go a long way. Employees kids’ toys all over the lobby and open food sitting out in common areas was pretty unwelcoming. Staff all very friendly and efficient. This place has the potential to be a gem if someone cared.

I booked my reservation. And when I got to the property my reservation was giving to someone else. I even thou called 2hours before my arriving because I was carrying a special need baby with me. And I want it to make sure I was going to have a room for her at 1am that I was going to arrive on July 1st 2023. And the hotel gave my room to some party people and left me and my daughter with no place to sleep. I even thou beg the front desk person to please help me to stay the night and that I was going to leave by 7am. But they seem not able to help me at all. We had to sleep in the car because no other hotel was available.

The staff are GREAT and the room was ok (not expecting a four star). Happy to have mini fridge, microwave, and kitchen sink in room. The only real problem I had w/the Inn was the electricity went out for about 5 hours. It was due to storms in the are, but NO BACKUPS OR GENERATOR?! I thought that was ridiculous.

Great views from east-facing room! Staff were friendly and helpful. No bike rental though there are some old bikes you can use. Clean but starting to show its age. Restaurant next door (not affiliated) is excellent. Would stay again if we visited Southern Maryland in the future.

This place was what I was looking for in a short getaway at a waterfront property. Loved the layout and spaciousness of the suite. Felt like a one bedroom apartment and the staff was extremely helpful and friendly. It is less than a 10 minute drive from a lighthouse with a beach, a fishing area, and historical sites. I plan to return but with my sleep mask. The room was bright at 6 am because of shutters and not window drapes. No music channels in the tv but 😍 the clock radio that actually had a cd player. I wished I had bought some to play but will next time so neither of these were deal breakers. I recommend it and have to others already.

I don’t think we’ll be staying any more
This was supposed to be our first wedding anniversary trip - and there was no sunrise room available. We’ve always gotten the sunrise room, which was the reason we booked this hotel. There was a strong smell of weed as soon as we got off the elevator and it followed us into our room. We had three kids plus a baby and were sorry they had to be exposed to that. This, aside from the lack of a sunrise room, ruined our experience. The balcony had a tripping hazard - due to weathering, a panel of the flooring came off and could’ve resulted in someone tripping and falling. The toilet bowl had a pubic hair on it and the sofa bed was pretty hard ( we allowed the kids to sleep in the queen beds for a change). This may be the last time we stay here. It was great in 2020, but now the weed smokers came and made it ghetto. I think if people come here for the sunrise view, they should be informed before paying whether a sunrise room is available or not. This would be very helpful. Normally the concierge can help us out but this time, Island Inn failed to deliver.

Location is a gem. Balconies overlooking the Patuxent River. Management does just enough to keep it running. Amenities were poor. We had to request an iron and iron board. We had no ice bucket. Staff parked in unloading area, leaving customers to unload from the parking lot. Despite it all, the quiet location keeps bringing us back.
