Amazing, quaint motel with great access to Rehoboth Beach. We were in town for a wedding and the rehearsal dinner was supposed to be a bonfire on the beach, but the high winds did not allow. We ended up at the bride’s mother’s house in Lewes nd it was an easy, short drive. The ceremony and reception were held at Baymont, which was again an easy drive, minus the mid afternoon school/work traffic. All in all everything is very accessible via hwy 1, but if you were just there to relax at the beach and take it easy, you wouldn’t need to leave Rehoboth Ave. Shops, restaurants, and breweries/bars all on one street! The modern touch the renovation added to this property is amazing. The beds were comfy and clean. The vanity and shower were clean and new. We needed both A/C and heat during our stay and both worked flawlessly.

New hotel just outside downtown Rehoboth gave us just what we were looking for; clean, new, convenient, and well located. Check in and check was seamless and the bed very comfortable, with a quiet air conditioner. Traffic can be a bit noisy, but didn’t keep us from a good nights sleep. Will stay here again and would recommend for those looking for no frills, comfortable accommodations within walking distance of multiple restaurants.

This place is great. Comfortable beds and very clean. Super convenient for Rehoboth Ave. if you want to walk to things, it’s doable but most things will take 15-20 minutes to get to. The one major drawback is the noise from the road. The walls are not soundproof at all. Other than that, it’s great.

Boutique in name only

We stayed here for a weekend and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. The property is newly renovated and advertised as a “boutique stay,” but the reality did not live up to the marketing. Our room was so humid that our clothes and suitcases are wet. We couldn’t sleep because the sheets were damp all night. I raised the issue both on day one and again before checking out. The front desk clerk eventually told me I needed to turn on a “dehumidifier option” on the AC; a detail that was never explained. On our first morning, the milk was so spoiled that even staff commented on how bad it smelled. It was never replaced during our entire stay, despite the property advertising “coffee service all day.” On day two there was no milk at all, and by day three we were told there was “no opportunity to order milk.” The “English muffin” provided was so stale it couldn’t even be split open and was hard as a rock. When I pointed this out, I was told it was simply the brand. Housekeeping is offered only every four days unless requested, which we understood. I requested on Friday that our room be cleaned Saturday, and again Saturday morning. Despite both requests, when we returned from an all-day wedding event, the room had not been touched. When I asked at the desk, I was told “they must have forgotten,but it’s not my job.” The same staff member repeatedly told us issues were “not his problem.” At no point did anyone take ownership or attempt to make our stay more comfortable

While the hotel wasn’t bad the cleanliness of the room was absolutely unacceptable. There was hair on the sheets with a lot of stains and a very dirty comforter. No one was available to come and clean the room and we weren’t offered a room change to compensate. We were asked why we didn’t check the sheets upon arrival since calling at 8 pm was too late! They provided new sheets for us to change the bedding ourselves, but no comforter was provided. Not what we expected from any hotel.
