Beautiful location on the water and room decor. However, mixed up rooms and didn't provide the room that was requested. Also the service at the ticklers crab shack was not very accommodating or friendly. They charge $3 slice for cutting birthday cake which we were willing to pay for but didn't end up on our check so we had to step off property to enjoy a birthday cake which is a ridic policy - add more desserts to the menu and won't need to bring a cake from an outside vendor. Also, was rude when asking for silverware to use for the birthday cake.

Hotel was sub par. Rooms were small not furnished properly. No night tables not other common amenities. Front desk was rarely staffed. Hard to get supplies for the room. In sum I would not recommend this hotel for the price

When I booked the days there, I was not aware that Monday and Tuesday the restaurants were closed. Also, all of the restaurants in the area were closed on Monday and Tuesday as well. I had to drive 16 miles to get dinner at 16 miles back to my hotel. I was disappointed with that.

Wylder is a pet-friendly hotel with a beautiful location on the Chesapeake Bay. The sauna and cold plunge are wonderful, so relaxing. We managed to get a day and a half in lounging on the expansive green lawn, relaxing by the fire pit before the weather changed. The salt water pool is also a gem. It was so wonderful being able to swim and soak and then not emerge reeking of chlorine. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ the only downside: we had a king bungalow right by the deck and a wedding party took over both the pool and the deck for an entire day. Try to book around any wedding parties if you are looking for peace and quiet. Thirty people just lounging and drinking in the shared common areas kept me up until 2 am. And they were drunk so there is no reasoning with drunk people celebrating!

Our room smelled of cigarette smoke and mold. They didn’t have another room to offer us. The room was small and overlooked the roof which had water laying on it. Overall, a terrible experience.

We loved our room and the property. Our only complaint was the breakfast. It did not look like the pictures and while a lot of fresh fruit there were no breakfast meat or egg option. . I was looking forward to the bagels and salmon shown in the picture. It would not deter us from coming back at all, will just be prepared next time to have other breakfast options.
