They intended to stay a week.’ A 4-star ‘NOT 2 BAD’ wrote ‘This motel wasn’t bad at all. My only complaint was that it said breakfast was included, which is why we booked it.

“On a recent trip, we were looking for accommodations that were not $200 & up a night. Rate was great. We are mobility challenged & had an accessible room inside the front door. Very clean room, comfortable bed, nice shower with shower seat. Walkable to Crabby Dick’s restaurant. No breakfast buffet but free coffee. No swimming pool.” — gram2trips, 5 stars
“I stayed here for the first time last weekend. I really was happy with my stay. The motel is in a great location. Plenty of shopping and restaurants close by. The beds were very comfortable, the rooms were very clean and much bigger than I thought they would be.” — dlmoss66, 5 stars

"Excellent in every way. Rooms were large and very clean. Staff was super friendly and accommodating. Will definitely stay here again. The rooms are basic, simple, and uncluttered. Side note, no hairdryer so plan to bring your own."

My girlfriend and I had planned a vacation to Rehoboth Beach only had about two days off work so it was relatively short unfortunately but the front desk lady was so sweet even when we showed up almost 3 hours early before check in (drove from Baltimore) left at 5:30AM got to rehoboth by 8:30am after we stopped for breakfast & went to the beach which is less than a 10 min drive from the motel got to the motel around 11:30am the room was ready by 12:30PM despite check in not being until 2PM the front desk included directions for nearby dinner/lunch options tourist attractions etc our room was outstanding!!! very clean and comfortable my girlfriend was nervous about it because there were a few negative reviews people had left previously but honestly I don’t know what they were on about because we will definitely be back here asap in comparison to other places it was roughly $140 other places were about $230-300 money may not be a struggle for some people but honestly this was a win for us would rather save money and still have an amazing experience highly recommended hope everyone has the same experience we did. Thanks again!!"

Check out the lewes beach for best sunsets or take the ferry and check out the town in N.J. plan your trip to hit the sunset coming back. I took my car on ferry rather than taking can to town."
