I stayed one night and it was almost free- it worked out for this combination. There were hairs in the bedding and walk and view to the beach is obstructed by the tallest building in all of Bethany beach. I would not stay here for a long summer break. Breakfast was inedible. Staff was nice.

Add on fees

It was not mentioned in hotel info that a pet fee was required or a parking fee of $10 would be applied daily. There was also a resort fee? Is this the tip for housekeeping?
