After a long drive and every hotel booked, including this one, we stopped to have a bite to eat and…read moretried again to find a place to stay the night before continuing on. We wanted to stay at the Cape Motel based on the reviews but unfortunately it too was sold out. Thankfully, after checking for a fourth time, The Cape Motel, had a room now available. We immediately booked it, received what seemed to be a personal, genuinely amiable, confirming email saying we were all set... "See you tonight". Got there and were greeted by a woman in the office with a warm smile. Promptly we received the keys to the room. PROS Outside: Well lit, parking spots close to room, inground pool area, Adirondack chair in front of each room PROS inside: All newly renovated, enough lights to have a nice bright room, nice size new flat screen wall tv, microwave, refrigerator, table & chairs, luggage rack, a place above the rack for hanging clothes, Keurig machine with complimentary k-cups & creamers (yes real cream), king bed, nightstands, desk & chair, composite wood-look flooring which I like MUCH better than carpet, ceiling fan, AC unit, lovely vintage looking updated bathroom with shower tub combo, fresh clean smell (like actually clean, not just a cover). CONS inside: wish there was a full length mirror in the room (just a mirror in the bathroom over the sink). The towels were neatly folded on the desk. I remembered that after getting in the shower. Would have been nice to have a rack for the towels in the bathroom. There was room for one, at least in room 16, where we stayed. Overall I would absolutely stay there again, and recommend to others, because of affordability, "newness", staff and the quaintness of the property.

I had a pleasant few days in Cape Charles. I stayed with friends at the Cape Motel. As a kid I was…read moreused to the motel 8 and this is no motel 8. Great motel location for a beach town with only a few minutes away from the downtown and beach. The motel had the cutest rooms with a walk-in shower and bathroom. The room even had direct tv and proper air conditioning. The only thing that I wasn't pleased about was the bed not being as comfortable as I wanted. I just wish I was able to stay more than a night. A pool and bar is only a few steps away. What more could you ask for. I would love to come back and stay here in a near future Cape Charles visit.

Our room, 206, was very clean. That's the part that got the rating to a 3. The bed was very…read moreuncomfortable. In the morning, we went to breakfast at 9 am. There was nothing left except yogurt that was just sitting out in a bowl. I made the front desk aware and the man that had been standing there went to let the staff know. No response. No replenishing. No communication. If you are going to charge over $300 a night, care about your customers. Having stayed at boutique hotels here and in the UK, the skimpy breakfast option provided was disappointing.....well, it was nonexistent. Cereal and fruit were empty. I don't expect a European spread, but a simple continental breakfast was, in fact, part of the reservation. We finally just left. Post-survey, nobody followed up. Customer service was so terrible (other than the people working the front desk). The front desk team was helpful and professional. So, clean room and front desk team was great, comfort and customer service were nonexistent. Not a good experience AT ALL.

I have stayed in hotels for six months out of the year as a pilot during a 37 year career. This was the worst smelling place I ever walked into. We turned around. Got back in the car and continued on to Norfolk. We will have to eat the room cost, but I will not stay in a room that is offensive as soon as I walk in the door. There is no "0" star rating so I generously gave the 1 star rating

Not only are the lovely people who help run the Inn the epitome of gracious hosts, they are also legitimately interested in getting to know their guests. It is so evident that they enjoy what they do! The Inn itself is beautiful! We didn't even book a suite, but were so impressed with our room (and the comphy brand sheets really are worth all the hype!!!). There are so many activities on the property itself that there is no way we could have been bored even if we stayed a week! Between the bocce court, and other yard games, the pool, and the access to bikes and a canoe, there was always something to do! And the breakfasts were so delicious - there's just something about those fresh blueberry pancakes with homemade blueberry syrup! Yum! We were so impressed with the lovely weekend we had at the Inn at Tabbs Creek and we will definitely be back to explore more!

I feel so strongly about sharing my recommendation to stay here that this is my first-ever (and possibly only) Yelp review. The rooms, property, restaurant quality food, and service were impeccable. Sherry, Ridge, and Sara are so kind and will go above and beyond to ensure you have the best stay, even communicating months in advance to see if we had any requests. The unlimited ice cream and snack bars, speakeasy and all-seasons room were our favorite amenities, but the list is plentiful. Our room had a private patio with firepit, heated bathroom floors, a soaking tub, and so much more. It was beyond clean and comfortable! The icing on the cake: they are pet-friendly, and even provided organic dog treats to our corgi. We came in March for my birthday (they gave me flowers, a note, and a gift) and are already planning a trip back in the summer to utilize the heated pool, kayaks, bikes, and other outdoor activities. A must-see for a relaxing getaway or event, just a short drive to the charming town of Mathews. Thank you to our hosts for a fantastic weekend!

Lexi and Tom were incredibly friendly hosts and even let me request waffles for breakfast (which were delicious). The inn itself is beautiful, full of history, and has two cozy communal rooms with fireplaces--perfect for curling up with a book or getting some writing done.

The pictures online absolutely do NOT do it justice. Our family of 3 (2 adults and a teenager) spent EIGHT days at this B&B and the location was beyond expectation! This place is a nature lover's dream. We listened to red wing blackbirds, cardinals, and great crested flycatchers sing to us from the trees. A Momma turkey brought her line of tiny babies out to walk across the yard several days in a row. Little boxed turtles scuttled across the yard. Deer popped in and out, frolicking around the property throughout the day. We watched a bald eagle sit in the tree nearby. Fish would jump in the water, herons would dive in and kayakers and small fishing boats went floating by. The pool was beautiful and immaculately kept. We stayed in the two bedroom Roosevelt retreat. It was beautiful! Beds were incredibly comfortable and the rooms were very spacious. The shower had cascading upper showerheads and mid level jets (similar to a high end luxury spa I once visited in Arizona). There was a jetted tub, luxurious shower products, comfy robes and slippers. Rooms were made every day and we were left mints on our pillows. What we loved even more than the beautiful location was the owners themselves. Paige and Mark felt like family by the end of our stay (the kind of family you LIKE to spend time with). They were incredibly generous, thoughtful, and kind. We found ourselves lingering over breakfast with them because they were just such lovely people. They made suggestions on restaurants (including the half price fish and chips!), places to see, things to maybe avoid. Watching them in the kitchen was like having a personal chef for an amazing breakfast every single morning. Everything from eggs benedict, breakfast quesadillas to a traditional English breakfast - never the same thing twice. On our last day, Mark asked our son if he had any special requests and our son opted for a second round of Frank Sinatra's favorite breakfast sandwich (who knew - but it was AMAZING!). They even wrapped up our leftover breakfast food each day so we could snack on it later. They offered hot coffee and orange juice every morning. We also had access to coffee, tea and various tasty snacks throughout the day. I ate way too many yummy brownies and cookies, and my son inhaled Paige's banana muffins. She even made an extra batch so he could take some home on the day we left. This was Southern hospitality and high class luxury at it's finest. Everything about this place was top notch. It was actually HARD to leave because we loved Paige and Mark and their little slice of heaven so much. I cannot recommend this place enough!!
