Island Inn & Suites, Ascend Hotel Collection

This hotel is in a beautiful location, between the St, Mary's and Potomac rivers, on a narrow ***** of land. Sunrise and sunset over the water are both spectacular. The rooms are very comfortable, and could probably use an upgrade at some point, but the rates are so affordable that this is a great and inexpensive getaway. The Ruddy Duck restaurant and bar next door is also delightful and reasonably priced. This hotel is perfect for a weekend getaway less than 2 hours from DC!

We were not able to stay here! Do not book with this hotel, we should’ve looked up reviews beforehand. When we checked in and got up to our room, we were assaulted by a horrible smell. It was mildew, beach brine, and body odor! We found swim trunks hanging in the closet, so clearly the room had not bee properly cleaned between guests. We went back down to the front desk to request a new room, had to wait 15-20 minutes for the front desk staff to reemerge. When we politely explained the situation, she seemed confused why we were requesting the room change and ultimately told us she could not switch our room. So we requested a refund since we used the room for approximately 2 minutes. She said that couldn’t be done without a manager and we were instructed to call back the next day when the manager was in. I called twice, phone went straight to voicemail, left two messages and never received a call back. The worst hotel experience of my whole life.

My stay was good, I will definitly stay again! My only complaint is the shower did not work and the balcony needs a good power wash (dead bugs everywhere)... Other than that, it was great! I was disappointed in the breakfast as well.

Staff were nice but the rooms need updating. Toilet running continuously. Black mold in corner of the room by the door. Little beat up remodeled but left holes where the blinds were. Not really clean.

Being able to watch the sun rise and sun set within the same property. Sit out front for the former or back for the latter! Wonderful for listening to lapping waves. Great testaurant just geet away.

Comfortable stay We were only in town for a weekend, visiting my Aunt. The room was large and comfortable. The TV needs updated and the in room coffee pot could be replaced but we weren’t there to binge TV, so it was okay.
