Hotel Bethany Delaware, meet all our expectations. Hotel was clean and staff was very helpful. This pet friendly Hotel was perfect for our trip to Delaware. Bethany beach is very quiet and close to everything! We would definitely recommend and stay again. We did a lot of research before booking so we were well aware of the extra fees. $150 pet fee and $25 a day to park your car at the hotel....
