Loose hair strands in the bed, dirty bathroom, dirty pool. If I could give this hotel zero stars I would. The hotel staff is not friendly and smells like weed.

They also let you rent out their beach chairs.’ Book only if you accept the mixed guest voice with a candid 1-star dirty/weed-smell complaint balanced against repeat-guest 5-star reviews.

What Guests Are Saying

“Excellent location! Easy walk to the beach and boardwalk! We rented a king suite with pull out sofa bed. There was a door between the bedroom and the rest of the room, so the person sleeping in the sofa bed had privacy. Nice counter space in the living room with a sink, mini fridge and coffee pot. Super clean all over, which is always a challenge in a beach property. We did not use the indoor pool , but it looked nice and clean too. We did not mind parking in the lower level garage, we are used to city parking, and happy they had parking so close to the beach. Loved the 24/7 fresh coffee in the lobby- nothing like hot & fresh drip coffee to start the day! Excellent customer service!” — 101maryzzz, 5 stars

“We stayed at Brighton in September 2024, due to that great experience, we chose to stay again in September of 2025. It’s only a couple blocks from the Boardwalk and Rehoboth Avenue. Many choices for a variety of food tastes and treats. The room is clean, spacious, well stocked and cared for daily. The desk personnel are friendly and helpful. Free parking in the parking garage beneath. Coffee in the lobby 24/7. We would be happy to stay again in 2026.” — Trish F., 5 stars

“Our family of 4 stayed at the Brighton Suites Hotel for 1 night and absolutely loved it. It is so close to the beach. They also let you rent out their beach chairs. There are a bunch of places to eat, and shop. The pool and sundeck were great. The service was beyond excellent! Overall we all loved our stay and are hoping to come back again soon!” — Vacation12345, 5 stars
