We recently attended a wedding in St. Michael's, MD and stayed at the Five Gables Inn. This is a very lovely facility, extremely clean and comfortable. Our dogs stayed home but since this inn is pet friendly we got the chance to meet some cute four-legged guests. The location was perfect as everything was within walking distance. Lots of cute...

My husband and I just stayed and the Five Gables Inn and LOVED it! So quiet and relaxing! Our room was beautiful and quaint and we loved the fireplace and whirlpool tub. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The continental breakfast was great and the breakfast room was beautiful! We liked being within walking distance of everything in St.... More

We stayed here for a one night getaway for a $99 per night rate in one of their King rooms. First off, it is more of an Inn with a continental breakfast (as it is called) than a B&B, but we knew that before we booked and were happy with the stay. We had a first floor king room with... More

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
