Was pleasantly surprised, very comfortable, clean and quiet.
The front desk lady was very pleasant ,check in was easy. Pool area was well taken care ofand clean.
We usually stay over on oyster bay side not the bay side so it was a good experience for us.
Would recommend this hotel to everyone.

Will probably visit again
The room was nice and I love having a balcony. The hotel is waterfront, very pretty. We used the outdoor pool which was very nice, no lifeguard so watch your children! The free breakfast was nice, great offerings.

Prime location
Great location- close to Carnival grounds. Nice water view. We were on the first floor so we could hear people above us walking around but it didn't bother us too much. Breakfast service was good and the staff was pleasant and helpful. We enjoyed the outdoor pool and dock.

Awesome Stay
Our hotel stay was absolutely fantastic! The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the entire property was clean and well-kept. We especially loved the pool area—it was relaxing and perfect for unwinding. The pier was another highlight; we spent a lot of time there enjoying the views and fishing. Everything exceeded our expectations. We’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great getaway!

We always stay at Waterside Inn when visiting Chincoteague. It's a quiet area and not far from anything. Staff is friendly, clean rooms, water views are great, pool is nice, and the roses are beautiful.

I like to visit the beach during the off-season, and the Waterside Inn was the perfect place to stay while I was there. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and my room had a beautiful view of the bay.
