Dover City Hotels with a
Jacuzzi in the Room

State Street Inn (5.0/104) - DOVER MARQUEE. A 1911 Tudor B&B in the downtown Victorian historic district with a shared outdoor hot tub on the back patio, putting green and gracious innkeepers Bruce and Kia. All subratings run 4.8-4.9. Hilton Garden Inn Dover (4.4/869) is the top-rated North DuPont Highway corridor pick.

Sleep Inn & Suites Dover University Area (4.0/180) is the only Dover hotel with confirmed whirlpool bathtub room types per the property description - but with SERIOUS candid flags (2024 bed bugs, weed/cigarette smell, 2021 prostitute complaints). For a genuine in-room jacuzzi from Dover, drive 30 minutes north to Odessa for the 5.0-rated Miller-Dunham House B&B.

5 minutes north of the North DuPont Highway hotel row on Route 8. NASCAR Cup Series race weekends spring (late April/early May) and fall (September-October) fill every hotel in Kent County 6-12 months out. Bally's Dover Casino Resort sits adjacent to the Speedway.

5-10 minutes southeast of the North DuPont Highway hotel row via US 113. The Air Mobility Command Museum on Chestnut Street is free and open Tuesday-Sunday with 30+ historic transport aircraft on the ramp.

About 90 minutes north via US 1 and I-95. Baltimore-Washington International (BWI) is about 90 minutes west. Wilmington Amtrak Station on the Northeast Corridor is 45 minutes north for Acela and Northeast Regional service.

The State Street Inn (5.0/104) is the DOVER MARQUEE — a 1911 Tudor B&B in the downtown Victorian historic district, walking-distance to Legislative Hall, Delaware Public Archives and the Delaware State Capitol complex. Innkeepers Bruce and Kia are named in recent 5-star reviews for gracious hospitality. For weekday corporate business needing a chain-brand alternative on the North DuPont Highway corridor 5 minutes north, Hilton Garden Inn Dover (4.4/869) is the top-rated pick with pool, bar/lounge and Hilton Honors loyalty stack. Both fill during the January-June state legislature session and Dover Days weekend.

Hilton Garden Inn Dover (4.4/869) on North DuPont Highway is the top-rated Dover AFB corridor pick — 5-10 minutes northwest of the base via US 113 with pool, bar/lounge, pet-friendly rooms and named-staff hospitality. For extended stays, Home2 Suites Dover (4.3/684) or Mainstay Suites Dover (4.1/186) offer full-kitchen all-suite formats at value rates. Skip the Residence Inn Dover ('has become run down' per recent repeat guests) and the Sleep Inn & Suites (candid bed-bug and safety flags) for a family PCS stay unless you specifically need the whirlpool room type at Sleep Inn.

Book 6-12 months out for either NASCAR Cup Series race weekend (typically late April/early May and September-October). Hilton Garden Inn Dover (4.4/869) is the top-rated pick — 5 minutes south of Dover International Speedway with pool, bar/lounge and Hilton Honors loyalty stack. Home2 Suites Dover (4.3/684) offers all-suite kitchens for race weekend groups. Comfort Inn & Suites Dover (4.3/287) and Mainstay Suites Dover (4.1/186) are the value backups. Bally's Dover Casino Resort adjacent to the Speedway is the ultimate walk-to-track option but sits outside our hot-tub-search catchment.

Yes but with serious caveats — Sleep Inn & Suites Dover University Area (4.0/180) at 1784 North DuPont Highway is the ONLY Dover hotel with confirmed whirlpool bathtub room types per the property description ('ask about our rooms that include microwaves, refrigerators, sofa sleepers and whirlpool bathtubs'). However, the property has SERIOUS candid flags: a 2024 1-star 'BED BUGS' guest with bite marks and refund refusal, weed/cigarette smell in rooms, 2021 prostitute complaints and a 3-star 'sketchy' immediate area. For a genuine in-room jacuzzi couples splurge from Dover, drive 30 minutes north to Odessa for the 5.0-rated Miller-Dunham House B&B (Delaware state marquee with CONFIRMED in-room jacuzzi via traveler photo) or 45 minutes south to Milton for Mansion Farm Inn 5.0 B&B.

Yes — the State Street Inn (5.0/104) has a shared outdoor hot tub on the back patio, confirmed by the hotel description and a traveler photo caption. It's a 1911 Tudor B&B in the downtown Victorian historic district. The Best Western Galaxy Inn (3.2/316) also lists a shared hot tub in its amenity list, but the property has the STRONGEST Dover candid warning (cocaine-scale-with-residue review, cigarette/marijuana smells) — book only with extreme caution.

Home2 Suites by Hilton Dover, DE (4.3/684) at 222 South DuPont Highway is the closest hotel to Delaware State University on the south end of the corridor with pool, game room, kids-stay-free rooms and Hilton Honors loyalty stack. Comfort Inn & Suites Dover (4.3/287) offers cleanliness 4.5 and location 4.7 at value rates. Hilton Garden Inn Dover (4.4/869) is the top-rated corridor pick if the South DuPont Highway hotels are sold out for homecoming or graduation. Book 2-3 months out for October homecoming and May graduation weekends.

Book with extreme caution. Best Western Galaxy Inn (3.2/316) is the STRONGEST warning — a 1-star recent 'AVOID unless you like Drugs' guest reported a cocaine scale with residue on the shelf next to the bed, and a 1-star 'Worst hotel ever' cited cigarette/marijuana smells throughout the hotel and joint butts in the window of a 'non-smoking' room. Sleep Inn & Suites Dover University Area (4.0/180) has SERIOUS candid flags (2024 bed bugs with bite marks, weed/cigarette smell in rooms, 2021 prostitute complaints, sketchy immediate area) — book the whirlpool room type only with clear expectations. Residence Inn Dover (4.1/249) has 'has become run down' repeat-guest flags and a 1-star cooked-food-smell room 202 complaint.
