Sutton Motel, Elkton

Stayed here after a night of visiting some friends on their boat out at the Chesapeake Inn (about a 7-8 minute drive away) and boyfriend and I didn't want to drive back to Chadds Ford, PA that late at night, after a few drinks. This is a family-owned motel which has been recently updated - flat screen t.v.s, cable, free wi-fi and free long-distance. Complimentary coffee in the office/lobby. Ice maker there too. The owner, Chuck, was very frendly and helpful and was putting some of the finishing touches on the upgrades himself when we stayed there. There are only a few rooms, so I'd suggest making a reservation, but our room (one of the smaller ones, with a queen bed), was neat, quite roomy and up-to-date with great A/C and a small but clean, traditional bathroom with what my sweetie described as a "very good" little stall shower. Inexpensive, and definitely as nice or nicer than any of the chain motels in the area. Before we left the next morning, I had entered the Sutton Motel's phone number and address in my cell phone, because we will definitely be back. -Nadine (middle-age professional female, fairly frequent traveller)
