The room was in good condition, but the toilet leaked all night and there was old food in the refrigerator. Also, they said there was "breakfast", which was twinkies, donettes, and other things one should never eat.

Staffing at the front desk is spotty. Continental breakfast was bad with bagged pastries. There were no spoons or bowls for the hot oatmeal. There were no more hot cups for coffee or tea. There's no excuse for running out of paper or utensil supplies - just sloppy & inattentiveness. Why bother even offering breakfast if the guests can't eat it?

Location of property was good. Convenient walk to shops and restaurants. The Chantico Inn management of the property is very poor. During my stay there was only one person present on the property doing everything: running front desk, setting up continental breakfast, cleaning rooms, doing laundry. Whenever we needed help, she was not easily found. We had to call someone off the premise to intervene.

Buyer beware. This hotel engages in bait and switch pricing. Reserved room through Expedia for total price and then day of arrival hotel notifies you that have an upcharge. That’s disingenuous. I am now trying to resolve the matter with expedia. No where on Expedia states additional hotels fees. Contacted manager and response was you signed the pre check in customer information card which is where they sneak in the additional fees. After that conversation I’ve been ghosted. Thank goodness Expedia is taking the lead. Additionally, staff is sparse or non existent on property and weeks prior to arrival requested a room on 1st floor due to guest needs and never received a response. Ended up having to take room in 2nd floor. We even left a day early due to these issues. I’ve stayed in lots of places and this is one of the worst. Will not be returning. If deciding to stay there I’d suggest making sure the price is the one you’re expecting.
