My husband and I like to see new things and enjoy nature but seldom really enjoy the motels. Chain motels are all so "packaged". The Refuge Inn is different.. It is homey and welcoming. You feel like a guest. Every staff member you encounter is warm, friendly and helpful. The rooms are spacious, tastefully decorated with lots of extra touches... more

My husband and I stayed at this "B&B" for a night. The hotel is okay, definitely nothing extraordinary. The rooms are moderately-sized and furnishings are adequate. There are some vending machines and coin-operated washers and dryers which makes it convenient if you plan to stay here long. There's also an indoor swimming pool. Breakfast is included, but again, nothing spectacular... more

A little slice of heaven, near the beach and the refuge on Assateague Island. We had a Duck Stamp which allowed us access anytime we wanted onto Assateague Island. The folks who run this family owned business are the best hosts in town. The rooms are cozy, the beds soft and if you need something all you need to do... more

We had a great time at the inn, its proximity to the refuge made it a great place to relax during the downtime... The breakfast and room was excellent and the people were all very friendly. We brought our bikes and loves being so close to the bike-bath that goes through the refuge. This is an excellent non-chain hotel and... more

Just got back from 5 days on Chincoteague/Assateague, loved the location of this Motel. Overall, the property was fine - our group was comprised of two adults, two fourteen year olds. The kids loved seeing the ponies on site every day, the bike rentals are handy right there and it was terrific to drive right from the motel onto the... more

When we made reservations we were told that we would have to book a deluxe room which was $20 more per night than the room we had been interested in. When we arrived we surprised that the room was very standard with no frills. In addition, the room looked nothing like the pictures of a deluxe room that are on... more

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
