Took a trip down to St. Michaels for one night. We normally stay on Tilghman Island but decided to stay at the Inn this time. What a mistake. The location was excellent but then it's all downhill from there. The room was clean enough but definitely not sparkling. The check-in lady was okay but the man in the morning didn't seem to be interested in anything. The breakfast, this is where we speed downhill and crash into a wall! This is Sunday morning, I walk in to the breakfast room and see empty egg and sausage trays. Okay,I guess they are working on it. After about 10 minutes I decide to go into the lobby and ask. Three words from the man, "No eggs today". Alright, I'll make lemonade out of lemons, let me get a muffin. NOPE! These things were harder than a rock. Okay, let's try some toast, NOPE! The toaster looks like it has never been clean. Oh well let's do some coffee. NOPE! Pure mud. When I brought this to the attention of the man in the lobby, his response was, " Yea, it's from powder". And, I didn't even mention the odor the water in the room had. But to be fair, that could just be Eastern Shore water. Spend a little more and avoid this place. read more

This hotel is ok for one night maybe two, but if you plan on staying for an extended vacation in Saint Michaels, Maryland, I would go somewhere else. We were attending a wedding in Saint Michaels, and a good chunk of the wedding was staying here and we wanted to be close to family. The rooms are decent sized, but very outdated and a little shabby. We asked for extra pillows to which we were told they didn't have any more and the TV in the room tended to do cut out. Normally, a TV not working wouldn't bother me, but I have two small children and I was trying to keep them somewhat contained in this room. The free breakfast they offer is just above an elementary school cafeteria meal. Look, I'm not judging because I ate every morsel when I was in here. Note, I was also severely hung over both mornings. The parking here is good and you're very close to the downtown Saint Michaels Not a completely awful experience, but the next time I'm in Saint Michael, I will probably stay elsewhere. read more

Shabby room, old dirty looking carpet, loud AC and fridge that would wake us up at night, damp sheets from summer humidity, and flies in the room! Very basic breakfast. We had booked two nights, but left after the first one. The only positive thing was the friendly staff at check-in. The check-out person let us cancel the second night, but did not express any concern nor say sorry. read more

My niece got married in St Michaels and this hotel had a pool so thats why i chose it. The pool was spotless...i actually saw the guy checking the chemicals and cleaning it which made me happy I guess the room was cleanish... i wasn't concerned, but they have flies. I actually kept the tv on to attract them at night, and there were a dozen on the screen I understand nature, but i was told they have a problem by the front desk, yet there are no fly traps anywhere I just opened the blinds and there are dead flies on the air conditioner I do think there is a better option than ignoring it..., read more

The worst hotel i have ever stayed at!!! Smells so strong of mold i had to leave the door open to air out. Locals told us to lock our doors read more

It's an old beat up Route 1 style motel. I don't know if it was built in the 1600's, but hasn't seen a remodel in a very, very long time. The walls are paper thin. I can hear the people in the room loud and clear. The breakfast my group paid for was pathetic: all the breads, bagels, and pastry are frozen and tasteless, juice is concentrate, instant coffee machine top is covered in dirt and grime. The fruit is the kind you buy in 5 gallon tubs at Costco and tastes like acid. Sausage is the cheapest frozen kind that u can buy. And the girl who setup this jailhouse breakfast bar has the nerve to put out a tip jar. All this motel cares about is the bottom line and fleecing guests for every penny. It's been a depressing experience. My toilet doesn't flush. You might be more comfortable sleeping in a tent. No king sized beds. read more

I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights and during that time the garbage was taken out once, and the room wasn't cleaned and vacuumed at all. There was something on the sheets that made me break out in hives. I did get replacement sheets, but I had to put them on the bed myself. I had to go get more towels because the maid took the towels but didn't replace them. I was told that I signed a document stating we wouldn't get maid service due to guests not wanting people in their rooms. This should have been pointed out to me when we checked in. It wasn't stated when I inquired about housekeeping on the second day of our stay. I have never encountered this at any other hotel and this has been since Covid. I wish I had read the reviews before booking this hotel. If you are attending an event such as the Ironman Triathlon, book early so you don't have to stay at this place. Very disappointed in the service. The desk people were nice and that's the only good thing I can say about this place. read more

We were in town for a wedding and as the only "affordable" option we chose this glorified motel. The staff aside, do not stay here. It's a conference center that resembles the RoseBud Motel from Schitt's Creek and not in a cute ironic way. Bugs on the pillows, gum on the headboard, and a random girl banging on my door at 4:30 and 5am yelling "help", did not make me feel safe nor relaxed. We were made to book two nights even though we only needed one, so essentially we were paying $550 to stay one night here. The room was $275 A NIGHT!! I have stayed at The Ritz in some cities for less than this. I was absolutely shook. I know some people have reviewed this place as "fine" because they are here for a conference maybe one or two nights. Do yourself a favor and just spend the same amount if not a little more for a much more enjoyable stay. We checked out early and never looked back. read more

I've never spent the night at the hotel but I've attended a few family gatherings in their conference rooms. Lovely atmosphere! Great place for events and gatherings! Check them out! read more

Kind of a shit hole...If it were in NY area it would be a homeless shelter. Outrageous they charge what they do on wedding weekends... Supply and demand I guess... read more

Horrible. Dirty. Cobwebs and hair everywhere. Could be very cute if they tried. Very overpriced for what they offer

Booked a night through Groupon and was denied accommodations upon arrival. They claimed Groupon cancelled the reservation which was false. I do not suggest booking through a third party vendor! Also, the hotel is not in the heart of town and the pool is in the front parking lot off a busy road. read more

BAIT AND SWITCH! Don't trust this place! We arrived at the St. Michael's Inn on November 8, 2024 and presented our printed confirmation for 2 rooms. We booked these rooms back in October directly from the inn's website. The front desk clerk told us there was a problem. When he stated that the price was wrong, we said we had confirmation numbers and had called the week earlier to confirm the rooms. Another employee (the manager?.....we do not know as he didn't introduce himself) arrived and began bellowing. He said he would not rent to us at the price on our confirmation sheet! He then told us we would have to pay a higher price if we wanted the rooms. He said the price on the website and the confirmation sheet were both wrong prices. Rather than take the responsibility for the apparently incorrect price on their website, he continued screaming at us that the price on our confirmation sheet was much too low and that we needed--and I quote--"to call his website's booking agency and fight this out." The confirmation we received is a legal, binding contract! My guess is that this Bait-and-Switch is a way to trick/scam senior citizens such as ourselves. My advice: Steer clear of the St. Michael's Inn. read more

Water smelled liked sulphur! The room smelled damp and musty. The pillows were awful on the bed, the air conditioner was very loud! We were either freezing or roasting! The bathroom was awful. The towels were scratchy and small. It was also way overpriced. Not to mention the playing music at 10 am in the morning and singing. The breakfast buffet was awful! read more

So... depending on which website you go to, this place has pretty good reviews and poor reviews. So the good: it's easy to find, very reasonably priced and I used a UV flashlight- room was sparkly clean. Staff was friendly and when we had a toilet problem, maintenance guy came out within 5 minutes. The breakfast was decent, it had your usual bagels, cereals, muffins, waffle maker, scrambled eggs and sauce along with drink choices. The bad: it is located right off the main road Route 33 so you are prone to traffic noise at times. The building is set up like a motel so no frills, you walk out the door and you are outside so there's no hall or anything to roam a bit and due to same reason (it's all one floor also) you didn't particularly feel safe to open the windows. The town with shops is a bit too far to walk, plus there are no sidewalks but it is literally 5 minute drive and there are plenty of free parking spaces. For the price and cleanliness, this place is a value if you are just looking for the necessities. 3/18/18 Price is good and although it's not walking distance to downtown St Michael's, it is still quite close, so I decided to come back and stay here. Room was neat and clean when we checked in. Noise level was still a factor, we stayed in a different room than last time, the walls must be quite thin. Major downfall was ZERO internet connection. Called the front desk hours later only to get "I don't know what to tell you, yes we are having internet connectivity problems." read more

Wow- and I don't mean Wow in a good way. Huge disappointment when I realized that I was charged $270.00 for a pathetic motel room. One star is too high of a rating for this dump. The shower water and the sink water have a sulfur smell - making it impossible to take a shower or brush your teeth. The walls are extremely thin- I was able to hear the word for word conversations of the people in the next room. Don't book a room at the St Michael's Inn- you will be very disappointed and out of a lot more $ than this place deserves. read more

We needed a place to stay overnight , not a resort , so St Michael's Inn was perfect!! It is an updated motel, cute design outside, and I loved that you park your car right outside your door. The room was comfortable , bed was comfy, maybe a pillow update would be good, and shower pressure fine, although I did not like the soap, but the towels were absorbent and thick and plenty of them. The room had all we needed, a table and two chairs, a frig, micro wave and coffee maker and a TV of course. There is also a pool which is a nice touch. The front desk staff couldn't have been nicer and more attentive. Due to covid their breakfast has been greatly changed but they are stuck with that for now. Still, they had delicious fresh oranges, yogurt and bars...we would def stay here again, the price is right and it's a cute comfy place just a mile from the middle of St Michael's. read more

Just sleep, don't shower or brush your teeth nor use any water in the room, smelled like the sewer was in the room with you. Nasty and gross!! Would not stay here again! read more

The check in area is cute and clean. Then it just goes to s*** We stayed here for a wedding. As soon as we got to our door it was covered in dead bugs and there were cigarette butts right outside our door. It was straight out of a horror movie. When we got inside I let out a sigh of relief because the room looked clean. Well thats until you look too close. The bathroom had a dying cockroach on the ground. There was hair all over the bathroom floor. There was what looked like dried blood all over the wall. I took a wet tissue and easily cleaned it off. Bleh. Disgusting. Why am I cleaning my own room? You couldn't go barefoot in there. The shower was miserable. I'm pretty sure I have third degree burn. The pillows were the lumpiest things I've ever felt. That god I had drank enough at the wedding we were at to fall asleep in that bed. Anyways if you get stuck staying here good luck! read more

This place is a craphole. But, you know it's a craphole going in. So it's really not a surprising disappointment... It's more like you thought you were making a mistake going in, and then you turned out to be right. So, for this, I give 2 stars. You probably should have just stuck with your hunch! BTW - There's actually really cute places for $250 - B&Bs and stuff - on the water(!!) - just up the road. Definitely check them out. It is worth the extra scratch to avoid this place. read more

Horrible...nothing good to say...rooms old, uncomfortable, smelly. Will not stay here ever again.​

this place is a dump! nobody should vacation here! the staff is rude to the guest, i sat back & watched them talk about disabled ppl & laugh about it, the food is old & they serve the same food everyday! the water system is horrible & working in this place is a nightmare! they steal ur money from ur checks! u kill urself working &:only make 14 bucks an hour! they sit around an eat all day! managers autum & fatima are the worse! my sons an i were done dirty! listen ppl do not stay here! do not work here! i worked 2 weeks an only received one weeks worth of payment! the quality inn in georgetown, de is an extension of this hotel, dont stay there either! both are dirty & the staff is rude there too. save ur time & money folks! never again! read more

My wife and I stayed here due to it being a last minute trip, and they were the only place in town with rooms available. I was hesitant however when we arrived, my expectations were exceeded. The room and grounds were neat and clean, and staff was great. The only negative I can possibly think of is that the water was very "soft" and did not rinse soap/shampoo off of you in the shower. However, I would stay again. read more

Excellent value, perfect for my budget, with nicely updated rooms and super friendly staff, also included a good hot breakfast. A short walk to downtown and close to the St. Michael's Nature Trail. read more

The place is amazing and doesn't at all give the feel of a motel but rather that of a fancy hotel. The game room isn't too expensive and a lot of fun. Rooms are private and the cable channels rocks! My only complaint is that all of the gathering rooms (game room, breakfast room) were all RIDICULOUSLY COLD. Like 50' or colder kind of cold. Like seriously, where was the heat?! I should not be so cold that I feel the need to struggle to carry my breakfast back to my room. That's just ridiculous. Fix the heat. With that said, the employees are super nice and my fiancé and I had a wonderful experience! Price was right and the place was amazing! Well worth the visit and definitely would come back! read more

Wow! This place is equivalent to a Motel 6! However it cost 290.00 for one night for us to stay there! The front desk Staff were dead and too mean to lay down. We brought our small dog with us. So 40 dollars of the charge was for him. When we called to make the reservation we inquired about any discounts for Seniors or Military and Vets, they had none. We asked if we could have a early check in. They told us to check when we got there. We did, and a flat no we can't do it was the answer. Now the room.... It smelled like a sewer, the water was odd smelling as well. There was some sort of no removable cover on the bottoms of the shower. It was covering the filth under it. The bed sheets were very wrinkled. When you turn on the air conditioner it smelled like mildew. In general the room was not well Maintained. Moving on to the free breakfast. There was no one to ask a question about the foods. They had some sort of round disk that were blended egg, tasteless. French toast sticks that were microwaved so totally soggy and stale bran muffins. The coffee was awful, most likely because of whatever makes the water smell like a sewer. The on line price for this Inn was 150.00 a day from Traveladvisor, Booking.com and Price Line all had 150.00 as the price per night. We came home and checked again and it had not changed. But the desk clerk flat out told me when I asked why we charged this higher fate that he looked it up and their rate was the same as he was charging us. I have 20 years in hotel management and this was the worst place I've ever stayed in. Normally you can find something positive to say about any place you stay. This Inn is just horrible and the staff are clearly indifferent to their guest. I'd recommend staying in Easton MD, which is only about 7 miles away. They have many good quality reasonably priced hotels that are dog friendly. I did t know the area before going there or that's what I would have done. read more

The most important thing to understand is that you get what you pay for. This place wasn't as bad as I had read but it definitely had its share of issues. The good: clean rooms, hot water, sizeable bed. Most of all, very kind and serviceable staff. Sometimes that's all you can ask for. When I'm on vacation (a short weekend getaway), I'm rarely in my room ever anyway so I don't need the Four Seasons. It's a cute inn and serviceable. Clean rooms/bathrooms and less than a 5 minute drive from town (which was awesome). It doesn't pretend to actually be in the town so I'm not sure what other people's complaints are. That being said here were my issues. The bad: Walls were thin. We could hear our neighbors. One thing if they're in the hallway, another thing if we're both in our rooms. Power went out Sunday morning (yes, really) at about 7 am. Apparently this was the entire block, though, so I can't blame them for that. However, when I asked when it would come back, they said they had no idea. Service means calling the electric company and at least getting an estimate. Even saying "within the hour" "by lunchtime" and "by the end of the day" allows people to plan accordingly. Instead, we just waited to see if it would come back after breakfast. Meaning, no coffee for breakfast, no toast...nothing that needed electricity. I had what was left of the eggs/sausage before power went out. Felt bad for those who showed up after me. All they could have was cold cereal. Finally, we just decided to check out, go into town and leave our stuff in the car w/o having to come back to the hotel. Electricity and water finally came back just as we were about to leave. I had already decided to skip the shower at that point (what choice did I have?) but brushed my teeth with bottled water. When we checked out, nothing more than an apology. I guess that would have to do. I think this location is solid and it definitely has potential if it just got a facelift to modernize it a little. St. Michael's is a cute town with not a lot of options for lodging. It also has a lot of meeting rooms for events. If it wasn't for the power going out, it wouldn't of been as bad as people said. Nice people, clean rooms, serviceable breakfast, that's all you can ask for sometimes. read more

Awful all around. Where to begin? The night before I called to try to cancel the reservation as my spouse ended up in the ER after a car/bike accident. They said I could only cancel prior to 3 (the reservation actually said 6). It was 8 p.m. No exceptions were made, even though my spouse was on an IV drip at the time I called. Second, after getting an ok from my spouse that he would be ok if I traveled alone, I tried to check in at 3 p.m. - the ridiculously late time they start letting you in. The rooms were not ready. They would not be ready until 4. This from the establishment that had just dinged me on my reservation because I had not met the deadline. Third, the room cost me $200. It was a dump. The beds were below-average Motel 6 quality. The bathroom had pubes and head hair on the walls and floor and there were dirt marks. A simple run of the mop would have taken care of it. The tub had yellow discoloring. The room also smelled faintly of cigarette smoke despite being zoned as a NON-SMOKING room. The AC unit did not work as advertised. It would shut off randomly and turn on randomly without fail. The TV is set so that the highest level of volume is about a 2 on a normal TV. You simply cannot hear your show if you lay back on your bed (you have to lie on your stomach and face the TV). Trashy neighbors barged into their room next door at 2:15 a.m. with their rugrats zipping up and down the hallways like spawns of hell. You could hear everything. The walls are paper thin. Keep in mind that this is $200. TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS. Would not recommend. Would never go back. Would avoid at all costs. Would rather go to a dentist for back-to-back root canals after gouging my eyeballs out and dipping myself in a vat of boiling vinegar than stay here. Did I mention that it has a 1950s feel to it? It's so outdated, a pair of bell bottoms is more in mode. Avoid. read more

Great value! Clean, quiet, updated recently. The bathroom and plumbing were excellent. The clean pool was a wonderful break from hot travel, The front desk folks were friendly and helpful. We had spent the previous night at a smelly, musty establishment in Cambridge MD, and this was the antidote with fresh and clean surroundings. It is a budget Motel, and you get more than you would expect at this price. We were there August 14, 2015. read more

I have to say on the bright side the staff was friendly, the bed comfortable, views great and lobby somewhat cute-location is convenient . On the dark side calling this a inn & spa or a resort,l might lead you to believe or imagine something of a caliber that this is NOT. Lightning in the rooms is horrendous and you will not want to walk barefoot on the wall to wall carpeting . Room sub par skin to a cheap motel as in a motel 6. I don't understand the previous reviews stating it was a 'bargain' at $550.- (mid week in July . Per night it was far from that) . The price might lead you to believe there would be a slight feeling of upscale or luxury this is not true in the farthest stretches of the imagination. Honestly it is a 2-3 star in a beautiful location gouging on COVID pricing. Reviews also state' you get what you pay for' Not in this case. Not even a free breakfast, even complimentary coffee from a machine was way below sub par. It wasn't 'scary' per say but not a place I could recommend unless room rates were half and I'd only base that solely for the location ( adorable town and nice vistas) not the hotel/motel itself in any level. read more

I wish I did not have to give any stars. I called to inquire about room rates and the person on the phone was was Rude and obnoxious to the point that he then hung up on me. I would never stay here for any reason. I travel a lot in business and pleasure and have now removed this Inn from my possible list. read more

This is a bare bones motel a mile outside of town. The rooms are dated, the beds are serviceable, and you can park your car right in front of your room. I found the room to be clean, the pool to be pleasant, and the staff to be helpful. Location was not conducive to a relaxing getaway: the hotel is right off the main drag and the only way to get in town is to drive or walk along the shoulder of a highway. Given that we were in town for a wedding over the Memorial Day weekend, prices for most lodging in town was exorbitant. And it was helpful for the bride and groom to find such an affordable option. The lack of choices in St. Michaels are disappointing in that you can either stay at a budget motel (which is the St. Michaels Inn) or spend $500+ night. read more

GROSS!!! DON'T stay here! It's pretty lovely, or so I thought. We requested a cot in our room. We showed up and didn't have one, so we had to switch rooms. We got back to the room pretty late at night so we forgot to check for bed bugs. Guess what? BED BUGS. NO JOKE. I have the most sensitive skin and I got bites all over my chest, back, neck, arms, legs and even my face. DISGUSTING. Do not go here! When the people came up to the room to investigate, they said it was definitely bed bugs. One of the men said there has been a bed bug problem for a while there. Then the lady at the desk lied and said this was their first case. Luckily, our stay got payed for. I would just not go here. read more

I tried ranking zero stars but it wouldn't let me.. I cannot put into words the agonizing filth and disappointment of this establishment. Hearing "Best Western" I was thinking I could expect at least two star quality - not so much. I second the consensus of the "old" smelling rooms - more like rank, musky, humid and damp. Remnants of a "smoke all you want" mixed with old used washcloth - everything from the AstroTurf carpet to crusty tiles in the bathroom and ?clean linens felt soaked. Turning on the air conditioning does not help. We resorted to opening the window (backing up to someone's residence). That's not the half if it. Morning after we checked in - no water! And no apology! Left for 6 hours only to return without water! No working toilets once the water came back! Still no apology. Rude front desk staff, most likely frustrated by the sheer volume of complaints. Continental breakfast was underwhelming. Overall - fail. Poor service, filthy old rooms, no water (?? Wtf), and refusing to switch rooms to one with a working toilet? It's a wonder the building still stands. Pay the extra money and stay at a quality B&B.. It surely can't be worse. read more

All the staff was very friendly and willing to assist me with anything I needed. It was the perfect place to stay for a trip. The room was kept very nice, and the location was great for seeing what St.. Michaels had to offer. Would definitely stay again! read more

I concur with Kendyl. This is an affordable motel with a nice person at the front desk and not much more. The room was very large and seemed clean, but austere and simple. Bare minimum linens, toiletries, amenities. The pool was tiny and crowded - we wanted to use it because it was hot but just too crowded. There was free wi-fi, which was great, and a breakfast that consisted of dry/hard scrambled eggs, cereal, white bread choices (bagel, english muffin, bread) - it was better than nothing. It is on the outskirts of St. Michaels and not walking distance to the shops and restaurants. I can usually sleep through anything, but even I couldn't sleep over the jet-engine-loud air conditioner that went on and off all night long. And the room was huge, but only a hard queen-sized bed in the middle of it - why not a king? I hate that "chicken on a spit" where you have to rotate on an axis so you don't roll into your husband and wake him up...unfortunately I left my long weekend more tired than i started it because the sleep quality was so poor. read more

St. Michaels Inn - Hotels Near Me - Saint Michaels, Maryland

My fiancé and I got married this past Friday and wanted to offer a less expensive option for some of our guests to stay in. After several failed attempts made by her to contact someone back in December or early January I took over and was finally able to get in touch with Derrick (Manager). Working with him and St. Michaels Inn was nothing short of frustrating from a lack of response to emails or messages left, to answering part of but not all of the questions on emails sent. If the Inn wasn't as modestly priced as it was I would've said I'm good it's not worth the frustration and headache of dealing with them. I cannot speak to the rooms or quality of the hotel (didn't hear any complaints) but if you are looking for a room block for your wedding the other inns located in the town of St. Michaels were amazing to work with and I would recommended all of them to help avoid the headache. read more
