The hotel is very clean, staff very friendly and it's in a walking distance to the beach. Pool was cold, not sure it's heated as advertised, and the breakfast was quite repetitive and lacking healthier choices. The rooms, beds, linens and bathrooms are all new and very clean, and the hotel provides hot tea, coffee, juices, and lemon water 24hr/day which is very nice. The only negative is that you are paying $25 per night for parking and there is an additional charge for room service, that can add up quickly. The beach access is actually blocked by enormous buildings of Sea Colony, so you have to walk around their gated facilities to get to the public beach, that's a bit annoying!!! But it's not a long walk 10 min or so.Overall nice hotel,

The location to the beach and the hotel tie in for free chairs and umbrella on the beach were excellent! 10% discount with Mickey’s Crab House was wonderful. Free vouchers to Nick’s Dinoland mini-golf in walking distance to the hotel was amazing. Hall carpeting was worn and no computer desk in the room was distractive and disappointing. But, I would definitely book there again!

Nice hotel with breakfast and (pay) parking. Staff friendly. Hotel had many guests but never felt crowded - except breakfast! But who doesn’t appreciate breakfast included these days. The carpeting in rooms gives a dated appearance - and is not the most hygienic especially for a hotel that allows pets. There were plenty of dogs. Pool wasn’t heated and was cold! The free mini golf coupons were appreciated and the kids used them. There were also two vodka drinks in the fridge - these touches (the drinks, cookies offered in afternoon, water in lobby and coupons and discounts for nearby things) do make a difference. The hotel is a bit of a walk from the beach especially as once you reach the beach / boardwalk it is the section with no sand! Just dunes and a small spit of sand. Overall good hotel but on pricey side.

We had a terrific stay except for the fact that our air conditioner unit was badly leaking and half the room was soaking wet on the carpet. We spent both mornings waiting for maintenance and missed precious time at the beach. The staff did all they could and provided a modest refund but because we booked through Expedia they advised us that they could not refund more. Told to call 800-319-4838 to discuss further but that number is inactive.

Hidden charges

We were unhappy with hidden charges. We booked the room for three nights at $300/night or a total of around $900. The total bill was $1265! We were charged 10%/night for "amenity fees," we were charged $25/night parking fee, and we were charged more than 10%/night for various Delaware and Bethany Beach taxes. We were advised by the hotel that no maid service would be provided, unless requested. We discovered upon arrival that the hotel charges $25/day for maid service if you made that request, which we decided against. In addition, each room has its own air conditioning unit which was inadequate to remove humidity, leaving the room with a dank smell. We definitely would not stay at this hotel again.
