Knapp’s Narrows Marina & Inn

Just wrapped up a two-​night trip here in a late summer. Hotel was beautiful and clean, as was the locale. Tilghman doesn’t have much of a «downtown» per se but this is very close to the general store, restaurants, and marina. The staff were super accommodating. All rooms have a stunning bay/​waterfront view that make watching sunsets as easy as sitting on your balcony. Complimentary continental breakfast and bikes were a huge plus, and the price was very reasonable. A wonderful place!

Another great Unilocal find!
We spent a romantic Valentine’s day weekend here and absolutely loved it! We were looking for a place that was off the beaten path in a place we have never been to. Tilghman island was it and we found this place through Unilocal and booked online.
The staff there was so friendly. They really did make you feel like home when we checked in. They have a continental breakfast and coffee and tea available all day.
Even though the weather was bad and the whole island had power issues… we still enjoyed a cozy weekend with this Inn. We even enjoyed a Character’s and a liquor store all within walking distance of this Inn.
Cant wait to come back for some fishing and kayaking!

Even in the dead of winter, this elegant little Inn located in beautiful Tilghman Island is clean, comfortable, and well maintained. Recommended by the local residents, this hotel was a delightful place to spend the night. One can only imagine what it must be like in summer.

How I heard of this place: My husband brought me here for my birthday weekend getaway, where we were offered a filling and delightful continental breakfast on each of our two mornings with the Inn.
Type of cuisine: A contintental breakfast for champions!
Ambiance: Brightly lit, white room with white wicker furnishings throughout, windowed walls opening out onto the Chesapeake Bay, the voices of guests aflutter as the toaster sounds and water is poured from the glass jug. Casual and bright, open and friendly.
What I ordered: On day one: diced watermelon, «natural» green grapes, bananas, one chocolate mini donut each and two bagels: everything with cream cheese for me, blueberry with butter for hubby. On day two, we started with fruit: grapes and watermelon, added cubes of Provolone and Swiss cheese, one toasted blueberry bagel with butter split between the two of us, mini powdered sugar donuts and a plethora of sweet treats, obviously in celebration of my birthday. ;) We enjoyed bite-​sized home made fudge brownies and miniature fall decorated cupcakes, along with the Martinelli’s Sparkling Apple Cider which my husband ordered and had delivered on ice.
What I loved: Fresh watermelon and grapes! Yum! It’s always yummier when someone else prepares it for you.
Why I loved it: Sweet, cozy, quaint and very friendly.
Cost: My husband paid.

I stayed here for a weekend and absolutely LOVED it! The rooms were lovely and clean (albeit lacking a fridge, which was a downside) and the view from every room was a beautiful overlook of the bay. Staff were so helpful and nice. They had several bikes which you could just take out wherever you wanted, which was awesome. The best part of the the weekend was that the staff went above and beyond to help us. I left my bathing suit in the room, and they kept it and are mailing it to me!
An important thing to keep in mind with Tilghman in general: There is essentially nothing to do after 9 pm. Most places close down, and even in St. Michaels there is no nightlife. But for us, not a huge deal.
Would definitely stay here and again and recommend to anyone looking for a picturesque weekend with wonderful staff :)

The positives: very friendly, amazing views, very quiet. The room was clean, pleasant odor and breakfast was nice. If you are a boater, this is your stop. Great shower rooms and pool. Had a great bike ride all around the island.
The negatives: the restaurant was shut down and we would have liked to been told, however the bridge restaurant across the bridge was awesome.
The price is right and will definitely be back.

The location (marina) and view (bay) is great, but there are serious issues that make this a place we won’t be returning to.
a) The walls and ceilings are paper thin. We could hear our upstairs neighbors tromping around (they had kids) and talking.
b) Our room (102) shared a wall with 7+ outside air conditioning units; the noise from them was incredible. If you do come here, at all costs avoid room 102. I measured noise levels of 60 decibels (equivalent to conversation) through the wall using an app on my phone.
c) The desk is unmanned from early evening onwards. Forget about changing your room. There is an out of hours number you can call, but nobody picked up or returned by call when I called around 8pm. Granted we were visiting in mid-​may, out of season; however, easily 6 rooms in the hotel were occupied, so it seems inexcusable to not have night staff.
d) The beds are mixed quality. In our double room, one was hard as a rock and creaky, while the other was quite comfortable. Be sure to test them when you arrive.
e) Finally, your view of the bay from a ground floor room may be limited by the fact that the parking lot is between the inn and the bay. Second floor rooms thus make the only rational choice from both the noise and view perspectives.
In short, this place has a lot of potential, but is lazily run and thus is only mediocre overall.

Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. You can’t beat this price. Request the suite above the garage (I know that sounds weird) because it’s the most inexpensive, with the best view, and is conveniently right off the road. The place is clean, comfortable, has great views, and is beyond affordable.
Unfortunately there isn’t much around here and the restaurant went out of business so you’ll be hard pressed to find much to do. Have a plan before you visit the area.

Stayed here over the weekend and it was a pleasant surprise. We chose is based upon the fact that there was a view and it was cheaper than most of the bed and breakfasts in the area.
The rooms was pretty clean with beach-​y wicker furniture. The only complaint wold be that our room was near all of the AC units and on a hot weekend, they were constantly kicking in.
The staff was nice and helpful.
The view, however, made everything seem unimportant. From our balcony you can see quite a bit and watch the birds feed, mate, and dance around. Each morning we were there was just beautiful.
And there’s a pool!

Great location, friendly staff. Hotel is clean and well run. Dockmaster’s great.
