Disliked: Amenities
The Rod and Reel at Chesapeake Bay , was a huge disappointment for the amount of $$$ they charged us ! We couldn’t believe every time we went to the door of our hotel room , the keys didn’t work. So another trip down to the desk for all 40 of us staying there for a family wedding weekend. There were NO Amenities to speak of , why was there a charge for them , then. We stayed 3 nights , it cost over 1100.00 for 3 in a room. No cots available, due to fire laws , that’s ridiculous!! Beds VERY UNCOMFORTABLE!!! Loud at night everywhere even with QUIET ZONE signs in hallways!!!! During this time of year , there definitely should be a DEEP DISCOUNT for all the construction going on as well !!!!!

This property is not a high star hotel so far, unless when it remodeled it improves. Finishes, detail in cleanliness inside the rooms is average. Hope if improves. The only good thing about this hotel is location, you basically pay for that only if you are lucky and they give you a room with balcony.

The only thing I didn't care for was the distance from parking to hotel due to the massive construction (which unfortunately is quite unavoidable).
