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.

Ok stay
Hallways had a bad odor of cigarettes, sticky room floors, bed and sheets where not addressed when we came back to our room, bed was hard and flat like sleeping on the floor. Only good thing was the breakfast.
Property smelled like smoke and marijaunia. Fight in the hall, very dirty, Smokey rooms, parking lot had damaged cars and people sleeping in a car. Horrible experience. Not safe.

The posted pictures are NOT what the rooms look like at all. The bed springs make noise when sat on the bed. Felt the springs. (Found out they are 20 years old). Hair in the shower. Let’s just say we left and found another place to stay. I have NEVER done that before but I did not feel like it was clean enough to push myself to stay 2 nights.
The check in clerk was friendly and informative. Unfortunately you could still smell cigarette smoke in the non smoking room and bed was really uncomfortable.
I reported a broken beer bottle by the entrance door on 2nd floor about 5:00 Saturday evening & 7:30 Sunday morning it’s still there.
Hotel hallway smelled of weed but that’s the clientele.
Floor in room was sticky & dirty.
Poor maintenance in shower & poor paint job in room. First & Last time At hotel

Nice place, nice staff, reasonable price, nice rooms. If I had to complain about something it would be that our king size bed's mattress was hard as a board and hubby and myself have bad backs and didn't sleep well during our stay. However, I did not complain about it to them. I would go again ( I'd just request another room)
Room had multiple lights not working properly.
Staff was overall friendly but continued on their own conversations and attended to me in the downtime.
Breakfast ends at 9AM on weekends which is relatively early.
