This is place is a gem! Quiet, off of the beaten trail, & right on the water. Nothing fancy, but then are you on vacation just to stay in a hotel room - No! The bed was comfortable (pillow top mattress) and the people are wonderful! We stopped here on our way to the Outer Banks & extended our stay by 1 night because of hurricane damage to our ultimate destination.
It was a pleasure staying at the Watchapreague Inn. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the area, it’s right on the water, with a beautiful park with gazebo across the street, as well as a top rated seafood restaurant. The bed was stiff, and the staff actually brought me a foam mattress topper! My husband loved his stiff bed. Great little gift shop with a wide selection of t-shirts and gifts, free breakfast, very good coffee, free bicycles and kayaks too. I highly recommend this place! It’s not the fanciest or newest, but you can’t beat all the extras for the price.
Everyone was friendly! After making the reservation online, I received a phone call from Jonathan confirming and thanking me for booking with them. This quaint inn is quiet, accommodating and perfect for my short stay in the area--even for a holiday weekend. I purchased an extension cord and it worked perfectly to blow dry and style my hair at the mirror. This inn was constructed at a time when multiple outlets were not necessary and the ocean breeze would style your hair anyway.
Wachapregue inn is a no frills motel. Out of the way and near fishing (they cater to the fisherman). Clean and neat, across the street from a really nice restaurant and bar. Quiet and quaint village. We enjoyed our stay!
Great place to stay on the Eastern Shore. The place is old but nicely taken care of. The local restaurant was delicious. The staff was great. My only complaint was how hard the mattress was on the bed. I would not hesitate to stay there again.
It was a one night stop while in the area visiting friends. Had an awesome stay, cute town. So peaceful, if you need to unplug check is cute spot out. Great time loved meeting the mayor Stanley 🐈 😂.
We needed a place to stay for a last minute trip and chose the Wachapreague Inn because it was reasonably priced and close to where we needed to be. It is definitely old school, but was absolutely charming and super clean. We were very comfortable and the staff (including the hotel lobby cat) was friendly and helpful. Will definitely stay here again.
The Inn is right on the coast in an adorable small town. Plenty of dining and shopping options just 6 miles away.
Continental breakfast and a cute coffee shop less than 1/2 a block away that serves breakfast and lunch.
Very retro clean, comfortable and affordable motel, so if you’re looking for high end luxury this isn’t for you ☺️
Delightful stop on the Eastern Shore. A basic little motel but in a lovely tiny town not too far off the beaten path. Excellent restaurant with a view of the marsh and oyster beds is just across the street. Staff was very friendly. Breakfast nothing special but the free arrival drink (beer or soda in a can) was a pleasant little perk. A nice change from a chain hotel.
I love the feel of this hotel and it's location. It feels like a fishing village.
Don't let it's age fool you. All rooms are modern and clean. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.
Cute little old school Motel.
Clean and well cared for.
Owners and staff friendly and obliging.
Some hooks in the bathroom would have been appreciated.
Upon arrival, we had an issue with the TV. Assistance from staff was timely as was a resolution. Outside temps were in the high 80’s and AC unit worked hard to bring room temp to 70 degrees. Beds were very comfortable and the room was clean. Breakfast was included in room fee.
The front desk staff were amazing!
They had answers for all the questions we asked about the area. Stanley greeted us with a purr. He has to be the sweetest cat ever!
Shower water was perfectly hot, bed was comfy.
Easy drive to restaurants and sights in the area. We were there in the winter and plan on coming back in the spring.

Very small town on Eastern Shore, VA
It must be years since I stayed in a motel where you drive up to your room. Motel dated. Rooms dated. Checkin and out easy breezy.
I was quite satisfied. The building style is typical roadside motel, with rooms facing a central parking area. My room was spotlessly clean and well maintained. The front desk person (perhaps she is the owner?) was friendly and helpful.
Friendly staff and clean rooms. Breakfast is coffee and pastries so I question whether that is a real breakfast. The trash can outside our door attracted a lot of flies and of course they got into our room. It took two days to empty it. Overall good value within a charming town that has character and is walkable and good for biking.
