GUEST EXPERIENCES

  • PAMELA S.
    I have stayed at The Refuge Inn several times and it never disappoints. The Rooms are clean and very comfortable with plenty of linens. The staff is very friendly and professional. Location is great! Very close to Assateague (almost walking distance) with lots of restaurants nearby. I definitely will be staying there again.

    It was a pleasure to see you again and stay at the Refuge Inn, the most charming hotel in Chincoteague.
