This family style motel was comfortable and well situated on the island (at the entrance to the Wildlife Refuge). Bike rentals and ponies are right next door. Rooms were large, but our first room had a strange sports cream odor. They moved us, and that room smelled like cigarettes. Nice patios off of both rooms. There is a feeling of... more

We were 27 strong for a family reunion and the Refuge Inn was wonderful to us and for us. All of the staff were delightful to plan with, easy to deal with and so pleasant, fun and helpful when we arrived. The location is ideal. Wouldn't stay anywhere else. more

We have stayed here about 4 times over the past 3 years and have never been disappointed. Great location as the bridge to the Refuge is just down the street and a bike rental place is next door. Horses are right here too for kids to feed and pet. Always clean and gets some nice updates each year. Rooms are... more

We arrived @ Refuge Inn on 5/22 /09 & stayed 3 nights. The room was decent & overlooked the gravel parking lot & pony corrale. The hotel definitely looks much nicer on the website. The pool area needs some TLC. The jacuzzi tub is nothing great. & sauna could be cleaner. There are on-going improvements & upkeep to hotel, as... more

Whoever designed The Refuge Inn knew something! My husband and I enjoyed plenty of the privacy we came for. Even though it was the beginning of "the season" and the place was full of happy families, the rooms, balconies and amenities seemed designed to allow for plenty of breathing space. I agree with other reviewers about clean fresh rooms, comfortable... more

We arrived on Friday and were a little dissapointed by outside apperance. Once we got into our room everything changed, it was magnificent, warm and very charming. The rooms were very clean, stylish and warm. On our 2nd day we asked the staff about getting on the trolley and they were clueless, they were also clueless on what time the... more

From the moment, we stepped out of my truck the sounds and smells made us forget everything we had left behind. The staff could not have been any more personable or informative. The continental breakfast was perfect for the early riser. The free high-speed wireless made it so easy to surf the Internet and still be able to watch the... more

My husband and I just returned from at weekend getaway to Chincoteague Island, VA. I chose the Refuge Inn because of it's price, location, and free breakfast. The price was comparable to other hotels in the area. The Location is perfect, just down the road a bit from the entrance to the wildlife refuge. You can rent bikes right there... more

We used to visit this town often, but this was our first time back after moving west 10 years ago. We were happy to see this motel had not been bought out by a chain and had not deteriorated one bit. Rooms are very clean, spacious, with comfortable beds and nice furnishings. Little touches like access to a coin-operated washer/dryer... more

We had a wonderful trip to Chincoteague and The Refuge Inn was a big part of it! First, the room was comfortable, clean, had a fridge and coffee, and QUEEN sized beds. Our first floor sliding door led out to a couple of adirondack chairs and a view of the pony pen - it made it easy to keep an... more
