Wylder Hotel - Tilghman Island

My wife and I spent one unforgettable night at the Wylder Tilghman Inn to celebrate the beginning of our marriage. We had no idea just how special this stay would become. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and genuine care that instantly made us feel at home. We especially want to thank Lauren T., who went out of her way to make our honeymoon night truly meaningful. She surprised us with a bottle of champagne to help us celebrate, and that thoughtful gesture brought my wife to tears. It was a moment we’ll never forget. Lauren’s kindness and sincerity made us feel like we were the only guests there. She truly made an impact on us, and we’re so grateful. We also want to recognize Jerrel G. and Ramon S., along with the amazing restaurant staff. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was peaceful, and the service we received throughout our stay was top-notch. If you’re thinking of visiting Tilghman Island, we can’t recommend this place enough. It’s not just about the location — it’s about the people who go out of their way to make you feel welcome and cared for. This experience will always hold a special place in our hearts. Thank you, Wylder Tilghman Inn, for making our first night as husband and wife truly magical. With gratitude, Michael & [Wife’s First Name]

I think this hotel is really trying to revamp their reputation and draw in more clients. It’s very cute, the people who work at the reception are lovely! Rooms have been updated. Free breakfast was decent. I stayed here with friends to celebrate a 40th birthday. It was decent and we made the most of it but frankly would not recommend and will not be back. We had a terrible experience at the restaurant, Ticklers. I think they need to work on the guest relations. We had a friend lock herself out of her room around midnight and the reception room was locked and no one answered the phone. She ended up staying in a friends room, thank God we had other rooms booked or she would’ve been sleeping in the car! At breakfast the next morning we still had not heard back from the hotel regarding the lock out. Very average experience.

Very relaxing resort . A lot to do and many amenities . Restaurant was delicious and service too notch . Cold plunge and sauna is a must do . Will return soon .

This was my 2nd time staying at Wylder Hotel and had a wonderful experience each time. I was in the area for work so the hotel was easily accessible to every event/activity that I needed to attend. I had a lot of interaction with KD in Sales and Lauren at Guest Services. They made every step of the way very smooth. My room was spacious, yet cozy. Overall, I highly recommend Wylder Hotel!

We were here during an early Summer heatwave and absolutely loved floating in the pool with water view, having fresh seafood at Tickler's, and relaxing. We live in the area, so this was a fun staycation weekend at a place I've known since it was Harrison's.

The marketing team for this hotel deserves a raise for how well they catfish people. I booked a two night stay for my partner and I to celebrate our anniversary after seeing the website and social media posts thinking this would be a cute and relaxing getaway. The most relaxing part was checking out early and driving home. The rooms: I paid over $600 for a queen bed with partial water view. The room was tiny and I am still convinced the bed was a full (we sleep on a queen every night and this was noticeably smaller). The rooms also did not feature a luggage rack, mini fridge, or coffee maker, standard for most hotel rooms. As soon as we walked in, we had to kill two mosquitos and a moth. The bathrooms were visibly dated and the shower was practically a shoebox. I am 5’6 and not a big person and I couldn’t move around in it. The shampoo and body wash were very obviously watered down to try to extend their lives. The shower curtain was stained with mildew, and this was the biggest shock of all—there were NO towel hooks in the entire space. Besides one bar for drying one towel, there were literally no other hooks to hang towels/swim suits/anything on. A mystery to me as the hotel is on the water and has a pool? The room was also located next to the stairs/door which very loudly closed every time someone opened it. The pool: From the pictures, the saltwater pool looks large and accommodating. It is not. Not to mention, there is a big shortage of chairs despite the fact that there is plenty space for the hotel to provide additional chairs/seating/umbrellas. When we got to the pool, there were no seats available—parties and families were having to sit multiple people to one chair and my partner and I literally laid our towels on the grass so we could go for a swim. Yes, this is a waterfront property, but you really can’t swim in the bay off the property—only kayak or paddleboard. So, if you want to cool off from the heat, the only option is the pool which was way too small to accommodate the amount of people staying at the hotel. Not to mention some guests were there playing music loudly and disturbing other guests. Ticklers: We went to dinner at the restaurant on site. We had a reservation and were sat in a timely manner and greeted by a server who took drink orders and then we literally didn’t see her again for at least 25 minutes. We ordered a draft beer and a lemonade—not any fancy cocktails or blended drinks that take long to make. The food was great, but again took forever to arrive—a server even came over to apologize that it would be longer because they dropped the steak that we ordered and hade to remake it. The final straw was really when we ordered a slice of cake to go so we could eat it back in our room as we were getting eaten alive by mosquitos and we were completely forgotten about—we waited for another 30 minutes before someone finally brought it out to us after asking to check on it with multiple servers. There was no offer to comp th
