I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The views of the Chesapeake Bay were absolutely stunning and truly enhanced my stay. However, I faced some issues with the service and parking situation, which were quite frustrating. While the complimentary breakfast was decent, it fell short of my expectations for a spa hotel. The location is great, but improvements are definitely needed in certain areas.
