Inn at the Canal Bed & Breakfast

Choice property for proximity to Chesapeake Inn Will definitely come back just for the ambiance!

A fantastic location central to the town. Our room, appropriately named “The Back Creek Room, had a view of boats and slips through cloudy compromised glass. Comfortable bed. The inn has all the creaks and quirks of an old historic house. It was freezing outside and our individually controlled heater kept us cozy. The bathroom tub / shower is unsafe, and recognized as such~there’s a big sign to that effect. The floor of the tub is wildly uneven. One look at that and neither of us would dare use it. This room needs to be taken out of service today and a proper tub or shower installed before reopening.. Since this is a bed and breakfast, or as they call it, bed and bar, breakfast consists of two coupons which can be taken across the street. That establishment was small, limited menu, busy with people standing around waiting for their order. We bailed. For the price, $235.00 all inclusive for an overnight, we expected a functional bathroom, and no amount of charm would compensate for that.

The Inn At the Canal was as advertised. Location was perfect the building and rooms took you back in time and the Rum Garden out back had live music, food and the drinks were excellent. It’s a family owned business and the owner Ed is passionate about making sure his guest have a good experience and offers a wealth of information on the area. Tub/shower was a little tricky but didn’t take away from the experience.

The directions to getting inside the room were easy enough to understand & immediately upon entering there is a huge staircase. I believe all of the rooms are upstairs. To the immediate left is a cute lounge area that was unused at the time of our visit. Our room had the option of putting in screens or simply using the A/C, but the A/C wouldn't or couldn't get cranked up really high-Good thing it wasn't extra hot outside. I concur with everything said about the shower. It's like it was a hot tub taken apart & spread throughout the rooms. Seriously takes away from the charm of the place. We weren't über comfy in our bed which had a mattress cover making it overly cushiony.

The inn stay overall was great. The owners were present & helped with getting ice for champagne we brought the night we arrived. The inn had an older feel liked you stepped back in time. The bedroom had an air-conditioner (didn't pump out cold air at a high degree) plus screens if you preferred to open the large windows. I don't recall if there were rooms on the first floor, but the place has a lot of stairs. Our room name was Cassidy Wharf which had a high four poster bed & a 2 step walk down bathroom. The tub seemed like it was taken from a hot tub as it had a seat and then flattened out-not convenient for dual shower play in any way. This was the only downfall of the room.

This is a must see town Shops bars and restaurants The town has a lot of activities for you to explore The Inn is convenient and comfortable to stay The owners are wonderful and the drinks and food are fabulous Love Chesapeake City MD

We visited the Inn for one night. It was not the typical B&B experience. The overall home needed a lot of work. We stayed in the Haven room. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was remodeled, but the floors were splintery, the upholstered furniture worn and the toilet seat looked “ original.”We felt as though the Inn keepers were more interested in promoting the bar experience than a relaxing and welcoming Inn experience. That being said the live entertainment was great!! Breakfast was not at the Inn, but we were given a coupon for a breakfast sandwich and coffee across the street. It would have been nice to have coffee/tea and water available on the property. Overall we did not think this B & B was a good value.

Gracious, welcoming hosts, charming Victorian mansion, cute, friendly and walkable town, amazing hand-made cocktails, ineffably sublime. Comfy bed, close to Chesapeake City attractions, great value. A hidden gem!

If you are looking for a place in Chesapeake City with historical flair and owners who care, the Inn at the Canal checks all the boxes. I love the architecture of the building but the star for me is the Rummer Lounge, with great cocktails and music it’s the perfect place to unwind.
