Room was not fit to stay in(bed bugs, filthy bathroom, moldy smell. Was in town one night due my mother’s wedding. Bc it’s summer and stayed in Sat night, no other hotels had available rooms, so that we could leave. Switched first room bc of bed bugs, second room had no bed bugs, but bedding not the cleanest and bath so dirty had to leave without a shower. Now I can’t get a refund for the $179 its cost. Expects is supposed to be contacting me regarding stay/refund

Smoked out

This is probably top 2 worst hotels I’ve ever stayed at in my life The smell of illicit smoke as I walk into the hotel area was ridiculous Then we get to our room which I specified to be non smoking and the disgusting smell of cigarettes as you enter ,had me coughing all night. I’ll be at a walk-in today if it doesn’t stop. We have stayed at numerous best westerns over the past 10 years or so. Hardly ever a problem . Even if it was a so so stay . But I felt the need to write a review about how awful this place smelled. . In hopes that other people don’t have a bad experience like we did Even my wife who is an ex smoker said it was so gross in that room. Please don’t let this fall on deaf ears . This makes me not wanna ever stay at another best western ever again. I never ask for a refund , but I would be disappointed if we weren’t refunded for this

Stated here a second time with my family for a lacrosse tournament. The hotel smells like cigarette smoke and the room was not very clean. The staff was friendly but the hotel itself needs to be refreshed and deep cleaned.

Entire hallway and room smelled like mold. Horrible stale musty smell. Plus the smell of weed at every entrance. We've stayed in Dover many times during our April vacations, and this place was the worst quality. Hard to believe it's the same price as Microtel across the street.
