Chesapeake Bay, Maryland - The Lodging

Our lodging is summed up as Worst Hilton Ever.  We've stayed in some not-ideal accommodations from time to time.  Typically in a city-center or the boonies to save a bit of money for other priorities.  To be honest, we've probably stayed in worse hotels.  But we have never stayed in a worse Hilton. 

Let's begin with the positives -

Breakfast was excellent! 






So this looks like a normal hotel room.  White balance is off, but candidly I don't care enough to photoshop it.  


Make a guesstimate how much shorter than this desk is this desk chair .... go ahead ... A LOT.  There is no world in which these were designed to go together not can the chair adjust sufficiently to set ergonomically and work at the desk.  Not pictured - the Ethernet cable that was broken and fell out of anything to which it was plugged repeatedly.  


Note the door - they key card has to be inserted to unlock it.  Which means - no digital key.


This is a bug.  It crawled across our entryway.  


Don't believe me?






Chesapeake Bay, Maryland - The Food

We have spent three days near the Chesapeake Bay, Maryland.  They have been full of work for both Hubby and Wifey with brief respites for Food.  As a result, this is a food heavy post.  I promise, more adventures await so stay tuned.

We had dinner our first night in town at the Lighthouse Restaurant and Dock Bar









Our schedules didn't allow for lunch adventures, but I imagine that Lighthouse would be an even better destination for lunch when you can see the scenery.  
We are stuffed!  You can't tell but there's an ocean behind us in this pic!  


The second night we were in town we visited Zahniser's Dry Dock Restaurant. Wifey wasn't feeling very well that day, so no selfies were taken ... but check out this food .... YUM.  








The fresh flowers on the table were a nice touch as well as the boat as decor overhead.  Like Lighthouse, Zahniser's would probably be a better lunch destination ... except they aren't even open for lunch with the exception of Sundays.  Such a beautiful view (I presume) wasted :) 







Our hotel was next door to a typical Mexican restaurant. It served take-out as most do.
