Ratings and reviews
4.0 / 10.0
We enjoyed our late September 2024, 2 night, 3 day stay at Birchwood. The room with amenities was slightly different, but substantially similar to the photos. The bathroom, linens, furniture were very clean and comfortable. The flooring is light brown color and looked clean and nice. We didn't notice that it wasn't well cleaned until we were walking around in our bare feet. We had quiet, peaceful and good nights sleep there. We didn't have anyone in the rooms beside us. Due to the weather we didn't try the pool, but it looked cleaned and well maintained. There are some nice cookout grills and picnic areas which we didn't use. Beautiful rose bushes skirt the parking lot.
It's not a luxury motel, but nice, comfortable and clean.
We couldn't always contact management. The office was sometimes closed and phone not answered during posted open times.
This was our first time to Chincoteague Island. We were really taken by its quaintness. Birchwood Inn is located just on the other side of the street from the Chincoteague Bay waterfront properties, so we were able to enjoy the view of the water. It is right beside the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Department's fair ground, which was closed during our stay.
One caveat is "The Causeway", Chincoteague Road, from the mainland to the island lays only 1 foot or so above the water. Heavy rains or turbulent weather may cause the road to be closed at short notice blocking entrance and exit to the island.
I recommend Birchwood Inn.

I don't mind older motels and in fact really enjoy a nice old school vibe as long as they are clean and the bed is comfy and this was. But it did seem like this place was a bit beyond the dated furniture. The kitchenette was really not usable. No pots, pans or utensils were provided and the metal bases under the electric burners on the oven were rusted (one was completely missing). The cosmetic issues with the older appliances were touched up with a different color of paint, giving it a vibe of custodian dealing with lewd graffiti on a middle school locker. The gate to the pool was in need of repair. There were just a number of issues like that that made it feel a bit depressing and rundown vs. just in need of a makeover. Location was great so spent most of the time out of the room anyway.

I rented the room out of extreme necessity because I was in a campsite it looked so strong that they forced me to rent but I had a bad ecause the room was dirty and full of flies, how unpleasant I don't recommend it at all

Friendly staff. Room was clean but really musty smelling and furnishings looked like they were from the 70s. Lights on outside the windows and difficult to sleep even with the blinds closed.

There is nothing nice about this hotel. It's a place to sleep and shower. Nothing else. It's rundown and in need of repair.

The pictures are very misleading. This is a Motel. Not to be confused with long stay villas and condos. This is more of a glamping place. No front desk staff. You call the number and they tell you get a key from an unlocked box that has everyone elses keys in it with all their personal information attached to it.
The pool is ran down. The property is not on the water. We walked in our room. Infested with flies. But no worries. They left us a fly swatter with dead flies on it.
There was a hole in the wall. The appliances were disgusting. The smoke detector was covered in plastic. I woke up and was scared to use the bathroom without thinking something was going to run across my feet.
Why didn't we leave?!? The road to get here is pitch black and surrounded by water. We left soon it was daylight. Not worth the money or time spent. I

basic average property. One thing to correct would be damage in the bathroom. It wasn't substantial but it should have been noted by the hotel because when there is existing damage in a room, the hotel guest has a fear/concern that they will be blamed for the existing damage. Bed was comfortable.

It’s all old and damaged, there is no good chair in the pool area, the beds are not queen are full and the kitchen and appliances are very old and bad-looking

Nice place, family owned hotel. Across road from the water. Theres a nice pier to walk out on the water if you want. The room had a nice cold fridge, microwave, ice machine was close by. Small pool was great for my daughter. Rooms all on 1 floor, chairs there to sit outside. The pool closed too early for us, but we understood. We had a great time, got food delivery from a local restaurant, and were able to find lots of things to do.

Beds are small..not queen size..not very comfortable but I don't like firm mattresses.. Walls are thin and you can hear your neighbors talking when you're trying to sleep.. you could also smell them "smoking" so the smoke comes into the rooms around the door and window. All the chairs at the pool are broken so you cant lay out. Place is pretty clean and not a horrible place to stay so we would prob stay again.

Room we booked was listed with kitchenette...there were no dishes pots or pans and two of the burners were not hooked up. There was not even a toaster. Very disappointing and expensive...We had taken our own food and had no way to prepare it.

No one was in office when we got there to check in even though we arrived 2 hours before they closed! Had a number on door to call and I called it 3 times and no one answered so I called the emergency number they had and no one answered it either! Thank god I read some of the reviews and seen that this happened to another guest and they found the room keys in a drop box at the office door because no one even called me back to help us!

The property is definitely in need of some care and attention. The pictures on the website are very misleading, seemingly from 10 to 15 years ago. The room itself was not in the cleanest of conditions. Stains on the wall and splatter on the ceiling. The furniture was pretty beat up, with chunks of wood missing from the desk and table. The bathroom left little to be desired with the silicone “grout” (lack of a better word) actively coming out of the shower wall and the floor being stained a dark yellow from years of use. If you really don’t care about where you stay while on vacation, then this place is for you. Otherwise, spend a couple extra dollars elsewhere and have the peace of mind when you go to sleep at night.

The whole place smelled like a wet dog. There was mold in the shower area of the bathroom. And apparently there was a mouse in my room that stowed away in my bag. The outside area of property was falling apart as well.

Your location was good, and office staff helpful. Parking was convenient. However, the wall paint in the room (14) was peeling, the smoke detector was just bare wire, and the overhead light didn't work. The bar in the shower and the fridge need repair. The bed was comfortable but needs better pillows. Most pool lounge chairs were broken. Overall cleanliness wasnt very good. Cute place. Clean it up.
4.0 / 10.0
Observations: flies all over the room. Yes it’s near the bay but fly traps or nets might be useful because you legit sleep with flies all in the room with you after killing many a day.
Washing machine and dryer broken.
No sodas as advertised.
Tub was dirty upon arrival
The pool was nice keeps you out of the dirty room.

I was a little disappointed due to the disrepair of the room. The bed and sheets were nice and comfortable but the bathroom mold was something i coule not get past. Cleaning girl knocked loudly at 930 am asking if we were leaving as she needed to clean our room. Our checkout time was 11 and we had an alarm set for 1030. Just rude. Also this form would not let me upload pictures

This was the cheapest motel on the island and it showed. When you first arrive, know that the office may be locked, you gotta call them or just get your key out of the box they have right outside the door lol. The room I was assigned smelled strongly & nauseatingly like cigarettes, had dirt on the bed, and a disgusting & unusable fridge. Smelled like straight mold because there was a wet towel, actual spots of mold, and something odd wrapped in foil ?? So gross. Had to switch rooms and the next room was mostly cleaner, had small bugs in the drawer and a beetle in my wash cloth, and you must know you gotta wear shoes!! The floor had my feet covered in black dirt I had to scrub off. Also came home at midnight one night and my room key did not work so I had to call likewhy can’t I get into my room? and the lady said “I saw your room key was going to deactivate today, so we made you a new one and it’s in the key box.” Wasn’t super happy that they didn’t tell me anything when they saw it, like I guess it makes sense why because I switched rooms but there was no communication at all so I had to have this confusing & frustrating ordeal when coming back late at night. This place isn’t totally horrible, probably better for someone who doesn’t have ocd because the bugs and dirt had me unable to relax or sleep, but I just had to share the disappointing facts of my experience this weekend

The front desk receptionist and another staff member were both very kind and did their best to make us uncomfortable, however the condition of the motel was disappointing. Our room smelled heavily of cigarettes and while the staff did spray our room to help with the smell, it would not go away. The sheets smelled like cigarettes and the A/C unit just circulated the smell althroughout. It made it difficult to sleep all night. Also, the bathroom sink faucet sprayed everywhere when you turned it on but when you tried to decrease the water slightly it just shut off entirely. Also, we came to check in maybe half an hour past check-in and the credit card we used to reserve the room was already authorized for the stay. We wanted to use a different card, which was corrected but I thought it was a strange practice not to give the guests time to change their payment method when check in time wasn’t even an hour in. I wish we had a better stay, but we will not be returning here. The staff did the best they could, but the condition of the hotel was hard to look past.

Friendly and helpful check in. Quiet location and a good night's rest.
One hiccup on the cleanliness was random hairs found in the sheets.

Don't usually leave reviews. This place could be a decent place if they kept clean.
The first room had a refrigerator that was turned off so freezer thawed into it. It was also dirty and had black mold spots in it. When we opened the door it made the whole room smell like mold. They gave us a different room with only a refrigerator and a small microwave (we booked to have a kitchenette with a stove). It seemed ok and we were only there for 2 days. Upon further inspection and during our stay we could see that the place was just not really clean. The bathroom floor had dirt in all the corners and mold on wall by tub. We also had a roach crawling around. We will never stay here again!
4.0 / 10.0
The only thing we liked about this place was the fact that the beds were new and clean. Everything else needed updating. The room was mildewy smelling. While it was described as having a kitchenette, there was no table and chairs on which to eat. There were no utensils; usually the basics are provided. While there was nothing in the cabinets there was a sticky film. The bathroom needs an update and it would have been acceptable but the shower was meager as most of the water was coming out of the tub spout. In spite of no refunds available, we left.
