I was quite satisfied. The building style is typical roadside motel, with rooms facing a central parking area. My room was spotlessly clean and well maintained. The front desk person (perhaps she is the owner?) was friendly and helpful.

I love the feel of this hotel and it's location. It feels like a fishing village. Don't let it's age fool you. All rooms are modern and clean. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

Clean, comfortable, charming
We needed a place to stay for a last minute trip and chose the Wachapreague Inn because it was reasonably priced and close to where we needed to be. It is definitely old school, but was absolutely charming and super clean. We were very comfortable and the staff (including the hotel lobby cat) was friendly and helpful. Will definitely stay here again.

It must be years since I stayed in a motel where you drive up to your room. Motel dated. Rooms dated. Checkin and out easy breezy.

This place has small town charm, NO hidden fees. Pet Fee was $33. Although it is old, I like it as a breath of fresh air from big hotel chains.

The Inn is right on the coast in an adorable small town. Plenty of dining and shopping options just 6 miles away. Continental breakfast and a cute coffee shop less than 1/2 a block away that serves breakfast and lunch. Very retro clean, comfortable and affordable motel, so if you’re looking for high end luxury this isn’t for you ☺️

Would not go back
The AC is inadequate for the summer heat, it would not drop temperature below 75 in room, thankfully it was not 90 outside. The ceiling fan helped but wobbled and rattled, was afraid it would fly off. Had a a few flys we could not get rid of. Towels hanging on bathroom door from previous renters. No TMobile service In town. The restaurant across the street was great.

Very quiet place. No issues. Staff was awesome. Great spot to get away from all the hustle. Not accessible to the ocean unless you take a boat taxi. Chincoteague and Assateague were about 45 mins away. Loved being able to ride the free bikes the Inn offered :)

Cute town lovely hotel
Made a reservation for an overnight stay as I was just passing through the area. I was traveling and the hotel called to confirm my reservation and check in instructions. What a cute fishing village! I had no idea. Hotel is up to date and clean. If I’m ever in the area again I would definitely look them up.

Friendly and helpful staff. Check in was easy and we enjoyed the complimentary beverage. When we mentioned we were leaving for an event early in the morning (before the coffee and pastries) they offered and brought us a coffeemaker and all the supplies we needed to brew coffee in our room. A very thoughtful and nice touch. The restaurant across the street was excellent! We enjoyed our stay so much and plan to come back another time to do a boat tour and to kayak in the area.

One night
Staff was friendly and helpful. However, the motel seemed to do everything possible to cut costs. Our room 11 had a sliding glass door that was difficult to lock. our room was tiny. It had a frig with microwave on top and a small table and chair, but very little room to walk. No place to put suitcase, no closet, no hairdryer, no counter space in room or bathroom, no hook on bathroom door, no ice machine, small TV. Said partial “sea view”, we only saw parking lot and the office. Difficult for two people to get ready in the morning in such a small space with one mirror in bathroom. Said “welcome drink” which was a choice of one soda , water, or cheap can of beer in a fridge in office. Breakfast was packaged sweet rolls or packaged oatmeal - had to ask for hot water for oatmeal. Coffee in lobby was good, the room was clean. Would not stay there again, mostly because of their deceptive advertising. Not sure how it got such high reviews, unless we just had the worst room in the place. The picture is the best possible view of the room. Room 11
This picture shows the room in the best possible view.

Old-style motel. Bathroom was right out of the 50's. Very weak wifi, unable to use the TV or access internet on our phones. Bathroom floor was sandy, overall not as clean as it should have been.

Thanks for staying with us Mr. Horwitz. In response to your review, the hotel was built in 1962. Although our place is older, we strive to create the very best experience you can have through cleanliness, hospitality and a great nights’ sleep. We are sorry about the sand on the floor. Our housekeeping staff has a few new members that must have missed it. We wish you had mentioned it to us, we would have taken care of it immediately , sending in one of our experienced staff members to do a thorough clean while you were out for the day. Because we are a small seaside town the internet is sometimes spotty although we pay for both Broadband and Spectrum providers at the Inn. The new smart TVs can be challenging If you are looking for the charms, simplicity and the fresh air of a seaside town we are your place!
