Quality Inn & Suites Harrington

About The Hotel

The Quality Inn & Suites Harrington - Milford is a 3-star pet-friendly value hotel at 1259 Corn Crib Road in Harrington, DE about 5 minutes from the Delaware State Fairgrounds and Harrington Raceway & Casino. Rated 3.5 across 375 reviews with subratings — cleanliness 3.7, location 4.2 (strongest), rooms 3.7 (softest tied), service 4.0, sleep quality 3.9 and value 3.8. Amenities include free parking, free WiFi, free breakfast, indoor pool, hot tub in TripAdvisor amenities, fitness center with gym, pet-friendly rooms, business center with internet access and meeting rooms. Room rate typically runs $65-$85 per night — genuine budget-value pricing for central Delaware. Location: about 5 minutes to the Delaware State Fairgrounds and Harrington Raceway & Casino, 10 minutes to Killens Pond State Park, 15 minutes east to Milford and the Mispillion Riverwalk, 20 minutes north to Dover and the Air Force Base, 30 minutes northeast to Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge and 45 minutes southeast to Rehoboth Beach. Recent guest voice is genuinely split: a 5-star repeat guest wrote ‘The hotel was very clean and the staff and owner was very friendly. I have stayed there many times and highly recommend this place’; a 4-star budget-chain defender wrote ‘It always amazes me how high maintenance people can be, nitpicking at everything when you’re at a budget chain. Don’t believe the bad reviews.’ Balanced against a stark 1-star bed-bug complaint that named room 113 specifically (‘room 113 is full of bed bugs, my son and I were severely bitten… My eye and arms are swollen. I’m currently taking medicine but doesn’t help much’) and a 1-star mold and rust complaint (‘chair looked it had been stabbed repeatedly. First room smelt like cat pee had mold all over the bathroom, dirt and filth everywhere and every fixture was covered in rust’). No in-room jacuzzi advertised — the shared hot tub is the amenity headline. Best for Delaware State Fair week visitors (book 6 months out), Harrington Raceway & Casino gamblers, Dover Air Force Base family visitors and rural central-Delaware layover travelers wanting a genuine mid-range value hotel — with the honest recommendation to inspect on arrival and request a different room number than 113.

What Guests Are Saying

“Everyone at the hotel were so nice! They always had a smile and made sure our stay was great. They gave us an upgrade to a larger room when there was a problem in our original room. The room was very clean and the maid service was timely and complete. I would recommend this hotel to everyone.” — Holly D., 5 stars

“The hotel was very clean and the staff and owner was very friendly. I have stayed there many times and highly recommend this place to stay at when in the area.” — Ralph S., 5 stars

“It always amazes me at how high maintenance people can be, nitpicking at everything when you’re at a budget chain. Don’t believe the bad reviews, as my experience was very good. I booked rather late for a weekend overnight stay (on a holiday weekend, mind you), and this hotel was at a good price point. My goal was just to get some rest, the back and forth drive isn’t possible in one day. It had a good bed (slept very well), micro/fridge, pretty much everything I needed. Small critique is the lack of water pressure in the entire bathroom and a shower curtain that smelled of mold. WiFi spotty. But, checkin/checkout was easy as pie. They also serve breakfast and have a pool, but I did not partake as I was here to see an old colleague and friend, slept and headed out. Also want to mention I travelled as a solo female- no issues with safety and felt safe. This place gets the job done and I’d stay again.” — SassyParalegal, 4 stars
