The only problem was some mold on the tile grout lines in the ceiling of the shower, which we cleaned the next day. Sometimes the housekeeper misses something this small.

Rooms were clean and bedding comfortable but overall the furnishings and fixtures show significant wear. Stairs to second floor were narrow, steep and hard to negotiate. Overall it felt overpriced.

Response from Will Workman, Owner & Innkeeper on 1 May 2023
This historic home dates back over 100 years to 1908 when George Brooks hurriedly built the section that provides 4 guest bedrooms. The stairs George built are somewhat steep and narrow - but the guest has modern stairs outside facing the pool the can use in lieu of using the inside stairs. The floors have been refinished with new carpets in the last two years, but the house reflects the historic period it was built in. Apparently this guest does not like old houses.

The Inn is very close to downtown shopping and dinning. It was easy to find and easy parking. It was also very quiet. The interior was charming. The innkeeper was very nice and accommodating. The breakfast was very nice. The only issues we had were my husband and I did not sleep very well. It was too warm in the room, and the bed was a little too firm. It also didn't help that the landscaping crew was right outside our window at 7am. But, other than that we really enjoyed our stay.

When the landscaper is trying to work around weather issues, he sometimes shows up before 8am. I will talk to him again about not starting until after 8am, preferably after 10am. The instructions in the rooms advises guests to call the innkeeper is there is something is amiss or if the room is too cold or hot. Don't wait to complain in the online reviews - do it when you are at the inn! As the innkeeper, I can't fix the "issue" unless you call me while I can fix the problem.

Needs A Good Cleaning
The inn needs an exterminator and cleaning crew to freshen up the property. Ants in the bathroom, spider webs in the common areas, and clutter around the outdoor patio and pool area. The landscaping is lovely but the property feels tired. Thankfully the bed was comfortable and the breakfast was delicious.

Property was in poor repair. Had to change room as sink was blocked. Video equipment in second room did not work and that sink was cracked. Given price expected plush rooms, great breakfast and cleanliness beyond reproach. Did not get that. Host was helpful and attentive but clearly needed more staff to support guests.

It looks like our effort "to exceed expectations" works. We would like to get a 5 out of 5 from every guest, but there are often minor issues that prevent getting a perfect score. thank you Anonymous!

It definitely felt like you were staying in someone’s home, (which isn’t bad). We had the #3 room king with jacuzzi. The bed was really comfortable and sheets were super soft. The room was spacious and cozy. Jacuzzi tub was a nice bonus and so was the fireplace on a cold/rainy weekend. Robes were nice too. I skipped a shower because I hadn’t brought shampoo/conditioner so that would have been a nice touch. Breakfast was half a Belgian waffle, bacon and pineapple. Yummy but a little light. The coffee station, peppermint patties and stocked mini fridge were nice touches. It was an easy walk into turn for a latte in the morning. We are at Limoncello which was wonderful! Pool and hot tub looked nice but we were there in Feb.

Our breakfast is designed for the average eater - most guests will not eat an entire round Belgium waffle - but you only need to ask for more. We have muffins out before breakfast is served, juice on the table, and then a fruit course before the main entre. The showers are stocked with shampoo and body wash - maybe this guest look inside to the small shelf. This is an example of the guest not asking the innkeeper - a small inn like ours provides much higher service levels than your typical hotel. Just need to ASK the innkeeper!

The rooms are comfortable and clean and breakfast like home. Lighting fixtures and furniture are heavy Victorian style, the front porch needs clean up of leaves and overgrown shrubs, the house needs painting. The coffee bar needs clean spoons, fresh honey for tea, and better quality coffee pods for the Keurig machine. Decluttering thé interior and getting rid of fake flowers everywhere would improve the experience.

Thank you for the gracious review! We are pleased that you found our inn to be what you were looking for . . . our setting just 1/2 mile outside of town provides a peaceful setting, but clost enough to town to walk or take our bikes!

Excellent B&B with a pool! the pool was clutch because we were there probably on the hottest days of the year so going in after a long day of walking around was nice. Used the pool until 10pm. Food was good, room was clean, people were nice. What else could you ask for. The only thing I noticed (and it wasn't a big deal) was the mirror in the room was too low on the wall (I'm 5'8 and still had to bend a little) and there was only one mirror so if you're in a hurry getting ready with your spouse it could be annoying. But this is a very small detail on what was a wonderful stay and I would highly recommend this place.

The Staff was friendly & helpful. The facility had tremendous potential, but needs a full make over. The gardens were beautiful, pool just lovely, but the common area of the building needed work. It could be so much more. The breakfast was fine.

St. Michaels is definitely a warm weather town to visit, our weather was cloudy and cold...as they say...nothing you can do about the weather. So we made the most of it, visited the stores that were open, The Booze Factory(Brett is an amazing young man), great eateries like Awful Arthurs and Chesapeake Landing...yum!! George Brook House has amazing history, and brimming with a family of young children. Please meet the pastry chef Trish. We had use of the whole house.

Quiet, quaint lovely stay. Couldn't have been nicer! We had eggs Benedict for breakfast and French Toast the second morning. Quite a history was told about this beautifully told story of George Brooks
