The Inn At the Canal was as advertised. Location was perfect the building and rooms took you back in time and the Rum Garden out back had live music, food and the drinks were excellent. It’s a family owned business and the owner Ed is passionate about making sure his guest have a good experience and offers a wealth of information on the area. Tub/shower was a little tricky but didn’t take away from the experience.

The directions to getting inside the room were easy enough to understand & immediately upon entering there is a huge staircase. I believe all of the rooms are upstairs. To the immediate left is a cute lounge area that was unused at the time of our visit. Our room had the option of putting in screens or simply using the A/C, but the A/C wouldn't or couldn't get cranked up really high-Good thing it wasn't extra hot outside. I concur with everything said about the shower. It's like it was a hot tub taken apart & spread throughout the rooms. Seriously takes away from the charm of the place. We weren't über comfy in our bed which had a mattress cover making it overly cushiony.

A fantastic location central to the town. Our room, appropriately named “The Back Creek Room, had a view of boats and slips through cloudy compromised glass. Comfortable bed. The inn has all the creaks and quirks of an old historic house. It was freezing outside and our individually controlled heater kept us cozy. The bathroom tub / shower is unsafe, and recognized as such~there’s a big sign to that effect. The floor of the tub is wildly uneven. One look at that and neither of us would dare use it. This room needs to be taken out of service today and a proper tub or shower installed before reopening.. Since this is a bed and breakfast, or as they call it, bed and bar, breakfast consists of two coupons which can be taken across the street. That establishment was small, limited menu, busy with people standing around waiting for their order. We bailed. For the price, $235.00 all inclusive for an overnight, we expected a functional bathroom, and no amount of charm would compensate for that.…

We visited the Inn for one night. It was not the typical B&B experience. The overall home needed a lot of work. We stayed in the Haven room. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was remodeled, but the floors were splintery, the upholstered furniture worn and the toilet seat looked “ original.”We felt as though the Inn keepers were more interested in promoting the bar experience than a relaxing and welcoming Inn experience. That being said the live entertainment was great!! Breakfast was not at the Inn, but we were given a coupon for a breakfast sandwich and coffee across the street. It would have been nice to have coffee/tea and water available on the property. Overall we did not think this B & B was a good value.

If you are looking for a place in Chesapeake City with historical flair and owners who care, the Inn at the Canal checks all the boxes. I love the architecture of the building but the star for me is the Rummer Lounge, with great cocktails and music it’s the perfect place to unwind.

The room (Upper Bay Suite) was large, well furnished, and had absolutely beautiful views. The Rum Bar was a great place to unwind, and the staff could not have been more friendly. Would HIGHLY recommend!

Wonderful in with lovely staff. Fun Rum bar and delicious drinks. Great live Sunday music! The beds were very comfy and the homemade chocolate chip cookies were a nice touch. Breakfast and coffee included. Highly recommend!

The Inn at the Canal was a perfect place to spend two nights in a busy little town. You are close to whatever you need in town. Our room was a suite on the third floor and had recently been updated and comfortable. You have room to spread out and a nice view of the C&D Canal. The inn also offers a rum bar on the premises with a very large backyard.

The room was clean and comfortable. The inn was quiet. The front porch was nice for relaxing. Having the bar on the property was great! Also the complimentary breakfast provided at the Cafe at the Bay right across the road was fantastic! Sarah at the cafe was so pleasant. Touring the town was very interesting! If you like Cape May or Williamsburg then you will love this town and the inn along the canal. Lots to see and do in town and at the marina restaurants, etc. The innkeeper might want to take a look at the design of the bathtub, it is sloped and slippery.
