The rooms were very nasty. Spider webs, my daughter jumped up yelling because a bug was in the bed with her. Children have allergies so time they walked in room they started sneezing. Very Fishy. Charge too much!! We had to leave a cash deposit which was $50 which was told it would be mailed to me in the mail.... more

I can't believe they get away with charging $100 a night for this dump! We got a double room downstairs and it smelt damp and musty like nobody had been in it for months, the carpet was grotty, the coffee maker still had coffee grounds in from the last occupant and the TV only had 10 fuzzy channels on it.... more

If you like imitation Fruit Loops, Wonderbread, and weak bad coffee for "continental breakfast", then this place is for you! Only for the fisherman crowd. Would not complain if they charged what this place was worth, about half their rate. more

I've stayed at the Kiptopeke Inn each December for the last 3 Decembers to fish for Rockfish at the Bay Bridge Tunnel. The Inn is located about 1/4 mile from the boat launch at the state park so you can't beat the location. I stayed at the Inn on 3 seperate occasions for 1-2 days each trip. For my purposes... more

No problem!

After reading the other reviews, I was a bit nervous about my upcoming stay. Perhaps, because of the bad reviews, I arrived with lowered expectations. I can't remember the room number (maybe 101), but it was clean and partially renovated. Yes there were lots of fishermen around. This didn't bother me because I was there to fish too! Eventhough I... more

Came down for the 2 Day Fishing Tournament on 11/28/08 and Kiptopeke Inn was as close to the boat launch as you can get, as well as being close to Chris' Bait/Tackle Shop, the tournament sponsor. Rooms were very clean and neat, Bathroom/Shower was fine, in room coffee was good. They even had tables out back with a running hose... more

We were tired and figured we would spend the night before driving over the bridge/tunnel to Norfolk. Big mistake. Four miles north of bridge we found a brand new motel-2 levels. No cars in parking lot . Believe name "Cape Motel". Asked for room at 5:00 PM and was told $169.00 a night--told them they were crazy and moved down... more

It was OK

My mother and I stayed at the Kiptopeke Inn for one night on Aug. 18. I mainly booked it because it allows dogs, so my mom could bring hers with us. We were on the Eastern Shore to pick up my son from camp early the next morning. It's a 70s-style concrete 2-story hotel that's pretty run down; we got... more

This is a fisherman's hotel, period. We stopped on vacation late one night. Wanted to go over the bridge in the daylight. Room was dirty, had to ask for soap, bed sheets did not fit so they came up while we were sleeping, flies everywhere, breakfast was like nothing, price way too high for what we got. On the positive... more

Wanted to take my family fishing and the Kiptopeke was a great location and had what we needed for a successful trip. With the restaurant opening soon we can even get our meals! more
