We really like this place. It has all the benefits and liabilities of a small place. Great beds and linens p, charming rooms (suites especially), spectacular showers (9 shower heads including rain forest), double bathtubs, fireplaces. As has been noted, rooms are not soundproof, breakfast is not a priority and there is no workout room, but these shortcomings are well... More

This was our 2nd stay at Five Gables. We had room 78, a suite that was very nice. It had two bathrooms, which we were surprised. One had a two person jacuzzi, the other, a multi head rain shower. Being between the holidays, we basically had the place to ourselves (which made the $149 rate a real bargain), so it... More

Getting this room at a discounted $99 mitigated some of its shortcomings. Fireplace didn't work, not much buffer between rooms so even normal conversation can be heard, balcony or porch has view of parking lot, rooms beginnning to show signs of wear, more attention to detail by cleaning staff needed. Other than that not too bad- location is nice but... More

Dirty bathroom with mildew around the whorl pool tub and tub not clean, dirty ring around. Filthy bathroom floor, sink and toilet. Wash cloths were rags old and torn. White shower curtain dirty from multiple people. Bed was supposed to be a "plush queen" but was more like a small full size. Furniture faded and worn. Breakfast was a disappointment.... More

My grown daughters and I had planned a weekend get-away to visit the Five Gables Inn. We were excited to spend some mother/daughter quite time together. Having been repeat visiters we thought this would be the perfect place, and that we would be welcomed. When we arrived two hours after check in we were told only that the room that... More

Thank you for taking the time visit TripAdvisor. I’m dismayed to see that you feel you did not receive any hospitality, as you were actually offered 2 separate suites. Had you choose this option, there would have been plenty of sleeping arrangements for the three of you. We feel that by offering you 2 suites (one at no charge) that... More

Did not stay at this Inn, only used the Spa for a massage. My wife and I had a couples massage. The treatment lasted an hour and the masseuse was very good. We were greeted promptly, given choice of aromatherapy to use in the massage oils and led back to the room for the service. Lights were down low, soft... More

Although the breakfast for the Five Gables Inn does say "expanded continental" this really made me disappointed when I went to breakfast each of the three mornings. We had essentially the same meal everyday at breakfast and were very disappointed by the selection. Even the coffee was not that great. I am in no rush to get back to St.... More

I'll admit that I originally wanted to stay at the Perry Inn in St. Michaels but at $500/night it was out of the question! However, I'm really glad we ended up at Five Gables. I thought our room was so quaint, clean and charming. I loved the balcony off of our room as well as the nice bathroom with Aveda... More

This trip marked both our first time in St. Michaels and as guests of Five Gables. We left favorably impressed by each. Our room was lovely and spacious, and with the addition of the balcony outside (it happens to be shared with the adjacent room but large enough to accommodate two couples, so don't even think this is a negative),...

We stayed at Five Gables during our first trip to St. Michaels. It was all we could ask for in a lodging situation. The room was very clean, the bed was super comfortable and the inn was nice and quiet. We did not use any of the spa services during this weekend since we had plenty of exploring to do... More
