Okay Stay

We enjoyed our stay here for the most part: comfortable, beachy, right near the park, and ponies outside. What put a damper on things for us was the amount of noise we experienced. We visited in the shoulder of the off season (things in the area were just starting to open up) so we didn't expect things to be super busy, and they weren't, however, the walls and floor in this building are very thin. You always knew when people were walking in the hallways, and even during quiet hours there were still kids running around in the halls screaming usually until around 10:30ish. What was most frustrating was on the last night when I guess we got new people above us who sounded like they were jumping off the beds and/or just stomping everywhere (not the normal walking sounds we had been hearing the rest of the weekend). I called the night manager when it became clear they weren't going to stop, and we could hear them over a white noise machine and pillows over our heads. While the noise briefly stopped, it started up again and made for the worst night sleep of our weekend on the last night. As nice as the hotel and amenities were, the amount of noise would keep us from staying again. The breakfast in the room was nice, though the options were limited (Cheerios, Frosted Flakes, breakfast sandwich, yogurt, milk, apple/orange juice, baked good).

We loved our stay here. You can even drive to assateague in about an hour and see the ponies on the island. It isnt a bad drive. And Chincoteague park is right there. You can walk or bike in easily. It was cold when i was there so we just drove into the park. One thing i knocked off my bucket list of things i want to do
