We stayed at the BW Grasonville on Kent Narrows Island for 4 days in early April. It's a good location for exploring the Eastern Maryland shore of the Chesapeake Bay.
Less than an hour's drive south east from Baltimore (45 miles) the hotel is next to R-50 and ideal for antique shopping at nearby Stevensville or modern shopping at Prime Outlets (both 5 miles away).

A nice Best Western, we found the staff friendly and helpful (lobby open 24-hours plus free coffee!). Also, the complimentary breakfast with free newspapers is a bonus.

The rooms are basic but clean, all with microwave and refrigerator, although our bathroom was quite small. Get a bayview room - little to see, but at night it's quiet as it's not facing the freeway. Good restaurants within a few minutes walk - try the crabcakes at the lively Harris Crab House nearby.

Overall we enjoyed our stay. If you're on a budget (booked a double room for less than $90 on the web) and want to stay somewhere quiet but safe, away from city centres, the hotel is just right. Also, the heated pool is open until 9pm, so perfect after a long day in the car, especially for my bored 5 year-old daughter!
