Horrible property in a great location. The room was tiny, the beds were crooked and there was a nine inch gap between the bed and headboard. The floor was dirty, there were crumbs on the sofa, there were debris on the bathroom floor, stains on the wall and the shower curtain, there was no overhead light and one of the two lamps wasn't working. The mini fridge was the nightshade between the two beds, the bolt was broken, the bathroom door was peeling off and the bathroom grout was moldy. The electrical outlet in the bathroom was broken and one of the outlets in the living room did not have a cover which is definitely a code violation. Extremely sloppy and I would be ashamed if I owned this place.

From the moment i pulled up, i had a sick feeling in my stomach. This is after getting a text message from a random personal number asking about when i would be there for check in. The entire interaction with the staff member at the office for check in felt off as well. The cheap security cameras everywhere were very off putting. I felt as though i was being watched every second, even in the room. Then we walk through a small hallway with a 55 gallon trash can blocking most of the hallway. The doors to the rooms seemed to be either very cheap, or interior doors. The doors had only a keyed knob, and what appeared to be a public bathroom style slide lock inside. The room was hardly bigger than the bed, which every piece of bedding was stained and had black crumbs and specks everywhere. The room was generally dirty too with dust and crumbs all over and visible mildew in the ac unit. I felt such a strong feeling of unease while at this property. I am a Marine veteran and don't often have the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, but this place did it. My fiance and i felt as though we were going to either be trafficked or worse at this location. We left and never returned. I would NOT recommend this place to anyone

Dirty Drab Filthy Stained

Yikes, filthy room! Dirty stained floor --walking in bare feet turned the bottom of my feet black. Black mold inside the mini fridge. Old napkins left in corners. Very dirty filter in A/C unit. And broken window shade leaving 20 inches of window exposed, and me with no privacy, or shade. Stained towels. Close to beach or low price is no excuse for filth. This is a small beach town -- everything is close to the beach. Why is this place renting out dirty rooms?

Good price & location, very outdated.

I think this place may be an old convent. The room is very small. I don't need much - just a place to sleep. Cold outside and the rooms have no heat so a space heater was issued. It did the job. Place is clean but old and very outdated. Attendant allowed late checkout so I could shower after running the local marathon. Location is great - walking distance to main attractions. All this is acceptable to me - however the noise barrier was terrible. Can hear pedestrians outside talking. Other is rooms above, next door, seemed like they were in the same room. Need earbuds here to get some good sleep.

Room was filthy. Refrigerator had stinky water laying in the bottom of it. Trash bags in trash cans were reused. Floor was dirty and carpet had dirt and hair on it. Kitxhen counter had crumbs and spills on it. Microwave was so disgusting with food and grease that there was bo way we were going to use it!...Only thing clean was the bed sheets and the towels. Water poured in under the entrance door for 2 days due to it was raining,which flooded the kitchen floor. Out of 2 space heaters only 1 worked. Half inch gap between the window jam and the window in the living room area which let wind in all night. Entrance door DID NOT LOCK from the outside so anyone could have gone in when we left to go enjoy the town! I have never stayed in a place this unclean. Next time i will pay $9.00 more and stay at one of the other local hotels. It was so bad,I came home and threw all my clothes in the washer,coat and shoes too! Live and learn!!!

I hope you don’t pay summer rates for this place

We booked a room during off-season. Though this hotel is located in an upscale area of Rehoboth, it is a dump. The owner /manager of the place was kind, but I wish I had booked elsewhere. They had turned off the heat so we were forced to use a small space heater - the temperature outside was 38 degrees. There were no bugs, but the sheets and bedspread were of questionable cleanliness

The entire place is dilapidated. It smells like molds. It’s a fire hazard with thin wires outside of walls. No elevator. Creaky stairs. No water pressure. Other than that, it’s close to the boardwalk.

Great location, one block from beach, inexpensive, but in serious need of renovation/upkeep.. Tiny rooms with old bed and furniture, loose wires hanging all over, door locks look like they've been forced a few times, lobby is cluttered and dismal.. Cheap, and you get what you pay for.

We could not stay at this place. It was filthy. It was a 10 x 12 room for four women and it was very unsafe for women and the doors propped open with big cigarette butts containers buckets. I lost 100 bucks. This is ridiculous to take money to have somebody stay there. The shower was a 2 x 4 it was horrible so we packed our stuff up and left and the gentleman just grabbed the key and threw the envelope away and said OK.
