Independent, Tangier Island hotels

"Wonderful boutique hotel in the heart of downtown Onancock. Everything within walking distance! Surrounded by shops, restaurants, a short 5 min walk to the wharf. The hotel room was quaint and quite lovely. I do wish we'd have been alerted that the bar and restaurants i side would be closed on Sunday Monday tues. Aĺl the days we stayed unfortunately, so i can't review this "amenity ". Check in was done without staff, a simole envelope was awaiting our arrival with a key. The staff was available with a si.ole call for questions, which we did require as a quest locked the main doors and we were locked out of the building. Fast turn around by a very sweet girl came 30 mins later and let us in, as well as made guests aware to please not do this. Rooms were spotless, bed comfortable - Everything we required. Two quick notes. Not negatives, but definitely a "need to be aware". There js no elevator, only stairs. We were on the 3rd floor. So you must bring up your luggage as well as yourself "manually". :) For us no issue, but could be an issue for other guests. On our way out, a sweet elderly woman was checking in and looked quite flustered at the prospect of dragging her luggage up even one flight. My husband gladly offered and all was well. He took luggage, i helped the sweet guest to her room. But isnt this truly what small town living should be? Helping our neighbors. We will most definitely stay again. And we will be back as we fell in love with the area and the locals alik"
