Not a resort as stated!
1. When I called to ask about the hotel before making reservations, I was told this place is a resort. I’m here to tell you… It is absolutely NOT a resort. The hotel is in the front of the property right off the highway. The “private beach” is in the way back of the property. Between the hotel and the beach is a ton of RV camp spots. There are a lot of RVs and vehicles between the hotel and the beach. That means the beach access is not as close to the hotel as the pictures make it seem. This was a huge deal for us since I was traveling with my 80 year old immobile mom, a newborn baby and a two year old!
2. The restaurant was not clean, the service was not the greatest and the prices were crazy! $25 for an appetizer of chicken wings?!? Nope!
3. The room floors were dirty. My husband’s white socks were black within 30 min of being in the room and so were the bottoms of my feet.
4. The showers/bathrooms were gross and moldy. There was sand on the bathroom floors. The showers were so disgusting, I didn’t bathe there and I definitely didn’t bathe my kids there.
5. The beds themselves were not bad to sleep in.

What a dump!
The stairs were unsafe, unlit also. There were many large holes in the walls, the floor had enough sand to build a sand castle. The fridge only worked on freezing. At some point, they changed the door lock fixtures and had paper towels and scotch tape covering the holes. I've never seen anything so terrible in my life. There was vomit on the floor at the top of the stairs. Like three spots of large Vomit.

Not the best!!
Room looked clean but floor was sticky and sandy/ gritty. Lots of flies and nats No cups to make coffee. We tried to call the front counter for 2 hours but no one answered. Bathroom did not have any Kleenex available. Will not stay again 🙁

2 out of 5 y’all
Cleanliness is #1 for me, towels looked like they weren’t washed only folded and placed back for next visitors,
Safety door in room 206 has huge gaps at the bottom looks like anything can come inside.
Room floor was gritty with sand or dirt.
No one answers the phone I’ve called well over 20 times to front desk.

Complete summer resort.
The resort's hotel rooms are currently being renovated and dining facilities are closed.
We were offered one of the cabins for the same price as a room, so enjoyed a "small 2-bedroom home" complete with kitchen. The resort hopes to fully reopen Memorial Day weekend and should then be a delightful place for families to vacation.

not so bad just clean up the rooms!!!
when we got there the guy at the check in desk said he could not split the balance of our stay, yes he could have, it was a bother for him. Our room was not clean at all, the beds were made, not sure if they ever mop the floors! not great tv but it is a beach so that was ok, now when I called about the place, I asked them how far is the beach - their response was a hop, skip and jump, not the case, possibly 2 blocks to the cape, but I will say that the guests were all so darn nice, the staff was very nice, Tina was nice, even the guy that did not split our balance was nice, all the grounds people nice!! The golf cart is 40.00 a day and should come with the room stay. The motel is a money pit that will jab you for money at every turn. The cost was way over the top for the quality of the room and the building needing upkeep, Cape Charles is great and so glad I went, all in all it was a great place, just clean the place up people!!!!!! The ice was free if you stay at the motel, lol, next time I am checking out the sweet little cabins that are there!!!!

Nice room, poor service but friendly staff.
Friendly staff but I called as there was no vanity light and the back of the room near the mirror was too dark. I was assured it wouldbe fixed during the day. It was not. I asked again and no repair ticket hadeven been placed. After the 2nd request’ it was fixed. Also, we arrived after check inand it was notclear how to get into our room as there were no personnel after hours. It turns out, the door was unlocked. We didn’t know.

Disappointing
Old hotel that needs refurbished. Leaky faucets. Disappointing considering the price and time of year.

Don’t stay; wait until they renovate
Room was in terrible condition—peeling paint, broken tub handle bar, stained disgusting toilet, light fixture hanging, holes in the wall patched with loose drywall. When we told the front desk staff (who were very kind), they said “yeah, we’re shutting down next year to renovate.” The rest of the property seemed nice, but the hotel was a no-go, especially for the price.
