Donna
The property has been recently renovated and looks great. There is a lot to do within the resort.
Erik
I've stayed here numerous times & I love the place could use drinks by the pool at least during peak season. Its a nice place on the bay
Chaun
Pretty cool place. Great views.
A disclosure needs to be made that rooms are adjoining. Saw the door but was not informed at check-in. Made us a little uncomfortable. There isn't actual beach access on the property but a short drive away there is. We thought we were going to enjoy relaxing at the beach in the evening but after 6pm it is only for Calvert County residents. Also alot of the fishing spots are not in the area anymore. The closest we found at North Beach Pier was a small fee for non-residents but free after 6pm. Bring a hat or umbrella, there is no shaded area.
Another note the North Tower is more updated and kept up. The South Tower was okay but we noticed the difference in dated items like the elevators, ice machine, etc. We even noticed the elevators on the South Tower has the same spill while the elevators on the North Tower had Wet Floor signs multiple times a day from being cleaned. Lastly, the South Tower only has ice machines on the 2nd and 4th floors with a microwave on the 1st floor but the North Tower has these on every floor. Didn't like the idea of a shared microwave as there were many smells and seasoning of food.

Great stay clean room and balcony
Colton
I really enjoyed my stay. I went for a little birthday vacation, being from out of town I had a few ideas of what I could do but the front desk check in staff was super helpful as well and gave me a lot of ideas for fun things I could do! To me, this resort was the ideal place to stay if you want to get away and relax and take in the beautiful views!!!
Terri
The pool time for both pools is 8am-8pm which seems ridiculous during the summer. Also advertising a beach, but there isn’t any access to the water to swim. Other than that we had a great time. The staff is excellent!!!!
Robb
The cleaners were supposed to clean our room the first night we ordered it and no one showed
Michele
The resort and our room was clean. This resort is very well maintained. All the staffs was helpful and friendly. Unfortunately, the Rod and Reel Restaurant was closed on Sunday and Monday. There was no shows outside atrium due to rainfall. I will definitely revisit the Rod and Reel Resort.
Justin
On Sunday night, July 5, the fire alarm rang off twice in the middle night. Power outages were consistently happening throughout that night. No compensation was offered. I did not have a pleasant stay and would like a refund.
Lisa
Balcony was peaceful at nite n views of moonrise were fantastic ., I’m not big on casino stuff so didn’t even go in.. restaurants were ok .. staff was the best n the accommodations were superb 1st class quality,
Letitia
If you pay for a resort, even if you go through a third-party, you should get all the amenities of the resort. After paying the resort fees, we were not able to utilize the Fourth of July picnic or other activities they had. If we would’ve known that in advance, we may have paid for it in advance, but by staying in the same hotel, paying resort fees, even if we had to stay on the south side of the building, it still should be included there no free amenities like water in lobby or continental breakfast you had to pay for everything outside of what you already paid to be in a resort
Jonathan
Clean room, good shower, comfortable bed. Amenities were severely lacking. Casino was a joke, and not many other things to do other than eat and drink. No real beach or place to sit by the water, just the dock. Overpriced drinks and food. Surrounding area is not visitor friendly. Might as well own property there, don’t go to visit.

This was a wonderful surprise! I took a chance booking without a recommendation. Was I happy I did! My room was clean, bathroom spa like and immaculate. l loved the simplicity of the resort with white and Grey relaxing decor. The entrance way into the hotel is grand leading directly into the outdoor oasis. I dined at all of the restaurants on the resort, all were excellent. The outside dinning lunch spot was tasty having my choice of shrimp and fries. The coffee shop on the second floor served a delicious egg and sausage sandwich straight from the kitchen! The coffee hot and cold lattes were also perfect. The location of this resort also allows you to experience a number of establishments and restaurants off the resort. My overall experience was GREAT! I have no complaints as I sit here on the rooftop pool lounging. I would love to extend my visit but I have to move on. However, I will definitely be returning soon!
Signing off until our next visit,

This was my 1st stay here and it exceeded expectations. This resort was beautiful! So many amenities and things to do that I never had to leave for my 2 day stay. The staff were so professional and friendly. The entire property was spotless and kept well sanitized. I loved my room with the waterfront balcony! I will be back for sure!
Kevin
Room was clean,staff were excellent!!
Joseph
The main restaurant atmosphere is wonderful with fabulous views , but the service and food doesn’t match. The outside bar food and service outshines the other eateries on the property. Need a new menu and service help. Great place to relax and enjoy the views.
Karen
I stayed at Rod & Reel for a family relative. Several relatives stayed there also. I was so impressed with the friendliness and helpfulness of the front desk and security employees in the main lobby. One family member needed help getting to a family gathering nearby. One lady in particular went above and beyond to assist!
Emily
We were disappointed in our stay at Rod n Reel Resort. They were doing construction and the place was pretty dirty. Additionally, they set off a fire drill when my daughter was in the middle of taking a shower, which was a surprise and difficult for us in the moment. Further, there was no beach, and not many kid friendly activities. I wish we had stayed at North Beach or another costal location. We wouldn't recommend this based on our experience. We wanted to love it!
Victoria
The stay was great! We had issues with booking through Expedia, but the manager (Ty) made sure to correct the issue!
Brenda

Eileen
Staff: the hotel staff was excellent. I interacted with two staff members who helped me with a few items. They kindly printed out something for me, and also were able to provide me with information on how to access a local trail and also the boardwalk. They both were extremely pleasant!
David
The property is well taken care of even though it’s being renovated on the lower level. The room was clean and cozy. Definable would recommend and were exactly planning on returning in the fall to enjoy the beautiful sunset on the water.
Marie

We booked this hotel in Chesapeake Beach as part of a road trip through Maryland. We felt very comfortable here and regretted having to leave after just two days. The reception staff were very friendly; since it was our first time staying at the hotel, we even received a small welcome gift at check-in. We also received a complimentary upgrade to an ocean-view room. The room and bathroom were very clean. The room was equipped with a capsule coffee machine and a refrigerator. The bed was very comfortable, and we slept well. The air conditioning and Wi-Fi worked well. The balcony was furnished. The view of the ocean from our fourth-floor room was fantastic. The hotel also features a rooftop terrace with a great view. The entire resort was well-maintained, and there was plenty of parking available. A resort fee of $30 plus tax is payable on-site; this fee includes parking, among other things. There are several restaurants, two pools (one indoor and one outdoor), a fitness center, and a casino. Unfortunately, the hotel does not have its own beach. The nearest public beach in North Beach charges an admission fee.
Swara
Such a wonderful stay for us!
Jasmine
Everything was beautiful. The rooftop pool was awesome. My only wish was that there wasn't a time limit on when you can enjoy the pool, or that the restaurants didn't close @9am. You spend the day enjoying all the great amenities, night swimming seems like a no-brainer but the pool closes at 9 as well.
Angela
Wanna check in I was initially placed in the room with a window that was blocked on the outside so no view. I called spoke with management. They quickly moved me to a room that gave me a view of the river, but not the beach.
Kelley
This newly renovated hotel is beautiful. The rooms are spacious and clean. The bathroom was modern and very well kept. The amenities in and around the hotel are great too. Two restaurants, one in the hotel and one just walking distance away, a casino, a pool, a pool table room, workout facilities and jet skii/ kayak/boat rentals on site. Also, coffee shop, hair salon and barber. The views are breathtaking and just sitting on your balcony is fun. The staff were so kind and helpful too. I will stay there again.
TONI
It was nice. Under construction so a little challenging but otherwise very nice.
Charles
It was a great experience. We had a great time and the view from our room was amazing. All the staff we met were very friendly.
YOLANDA

Roquel
This place is amazing!!! You will not regret choosing this hotel. There is so much to do here… it really is a resort. I felt like I was on the islands somewhere.
John
Our stay at Rod 'N' Reel Resort was absolutely outstanding! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the beautiful waterfront setting and the warm hospitality of the staff. The views of the Chesapeake Bay are breathtaking, especially at sunrise and sunset.
The resort offers the perfect combination of relaxation and entertainment. The rooms were comfortable and well-appointed, the dining options were excellent, and the marina area created a true Chesapeake Bay experience. Whether you're interested in charter fishing, boating, waterfront dining, or simply unwinding by the water, Rod 'N' Reel delivers on every level. The resort features a marina, fishing charters, multiple dining venues, pools, and a variety of activities that make it a destination for the entire family.
What stood out most was the attention to detail and the genuine commitment to guest satisfaction. Every team member we encountered was friendly, professional, and eager to make our stay memorable.
If you're looking for a relaxing waterfront getaway in Maryland with incredible views, great amenities, and a true Chesapeake Bay atmosphere, I highly recommend Rod 'N' Reel Resort. We can't wait to return!

Douglas
Beautiful setting on the Chesapeake!! Stunning property!! BUT... management needs to instruct their staff who relate to the customers on protocol and service. I experienced it on several levels from check in, to dinning, to the bar, and even asking for directions related to where things were at the hotel. Albeit I'm back 3 weeks later w my wife to buy a boat, and staying at Rod and Reel because of the property, w no expectations on staff treatment towards their guests. Which is why 3 stars and not 1 star
Kevin
What a delightful gem. Parking is tight but the location and the resort were a charm. We listened to music from our balcony while watching boaters in the bay go by.
Jean

Beautiful hotel. We stayed a couple days for a wedding in the area. We had a beautiful deck with a beautiful view. We were in 227. The area was great for walks. The staff was friendly and helpful.
Travis
Awesome spot and room, nice walking distance from multiple places
Suzan
Bright refreshed renovated hotel. Large rooms, friendly staff, gambling slot machines not my thing but were busy. Restaurants were good, and staff were friendly. Only down side was the room doors were tricky and difficult to lock at times, and despite requesting housekeeping twice, over a four-day stay, they never came. Garbage cans overflowed, ran out of coffee, cups, tissues, and towels. Reported it, and manager said she would comp a night through the third party agent. I’ll watch for that remedy. Relaxing holiday weekend despite the rain out and lack of housekeeping.

I may have had higher expectations than were delivered.

The hotel was clean with excellent security. Our room had a wonderful balcony with water views, and the entire staff were cordial and professional. The train museum was quite interesting. I only wished they had more massage salons in the area.

Room was spacious and clean. Well decorated and air conditioning was pumping. The Staff were all so friendly and welcoming. Real plants throughout the building were amazing to see. The hotel itself was beautiful, safe, well decorated and inviting. Plenty of natural lighting shining in. Food at all restaurants was fresh and delicious! Drinks were on point as well.

Room was full of ants, all over the counters. Fire alarm went off at 7:00am, buildings evacuated, had to start my day without a shower or cleanup. No announcements or directions from staff.
No phone in room. No desk in room. Property restaurants were all overpriced and underwhelming in terms of taste.

We stayed here to tour a nearby wedding venue and this was the only hotel in the area with availability last minute. However we loved everything so much we ended up getting a quote to get married here too. The hotel feels fresh and renovated. I would definitely come back. A happy accident!!

Rod and Reel Resort was an excellent get away. The staff was brilliant and helpful. And everything is conveniently close to the resort.

If we were staying in season it might have been a different experience (all outdoor amenities were not yet open), but it is a beautiful hotel and a great stay.
Gary

One of my favorite get aways (as someone who also lives in Chesapeake Beach)
Ben
Bathroom door wouldn't close, laminate floor was popping up, no microwave in the room, fire alarm going off early in the morning, construction happening early in the morning. I've stayed at Super 8s and Motel 6s that have been better than this. It is a cheap hotel that is overpriced because you can see water from it and there are no other options nearby.
Kyle
Have to walk clear through the hotel through the lobby to get to the pool. No microwaves in rooms. Only 1 shared old one next to the ice machine. Room floors were dirty. Staff was extremely rude. They were horrible to deal with. Was to scared to go into the casino. Mostly non -guest were using the casino, yelling cussing, playing 3 machines at once. Men sexually harassing women. No employees to help you cash out. I would never waste my money on this place again.
Austin
Great room for price
Reginald
Everything was great 👍
Kris
Overall it’s impressive, looking. The place is nice as is the location next to the water. However, floor had crumbs or something on it. The remote didn’t work u less I got up to change anything and even then it didn’t work well. WiFi kicked me off every couple of minutes so I was constantly logging back in. I was also told that Expedia doesn’t add the resort tax/fee so expect it to be more than you expected. Overall I wouldn’t be going back.
Treva
Every stay is excellent
Timothy
Nice hotel. The views were great.
Gary
The entire building was clean, and comfortable. The room was decorated well and had a comfortable atmosphere. It’s just a little confusing when checking in, you have to go inside and then into another building. Maybe there could be a sign pointing to the entrance where you have to go to check in.
Eric
Very clean, updated room with a nice view. We have stayed at the Rod and Reel several times but this is the first time we stayed after the renovations were made. We really like the updates that were made. The only complaint we have is the breakfast we had at the Rod and Reel restaurant was brought to us was not hot. We would have asked the server to warm our food but we did not have the time to do so. The food was good but would have been better hot.
Suzanne
Rooms were clean, our request to have rooms close to each other was honored. Staff were very friendly. John, bartender at the restaurant was very accommodating to our gift exchange, DJ was fun and took requests. Front desk staff were friendly and helpful with our needs, checked that our rooms were ready when we arrived early even! Two of us live in this town, but we will be back for another staycation!
Brian
The room, the staff, the property overall was great. The exception would be the restaurant. Although it is very new, it has a cooperate cafeteria look to it. Aside from a rope rigging near the entrance, you would have no idea you were in a waterfront resort restaurant. A plain white collapsable wall dominates the entire room. Their is no nautical feel to it. Also, it is a little pricey in my opinion. $19.00 for an omelet without even a slice of toast, $6.00 for two pieces of bacon. When I asked for jelly for my $3.00 English Muffin, I was told you do not have jelly. The server said she would bring out some of the compote that is serves with the pancakes. I was very surprised to see I was charged $2.00 for a few spoons of it.
Jocelyn
Food, drinks and gambling and a nice place to sleep! What more could you ask for!!
