When you book a last minute trip, you never know what you will find. The Sand Palace was close to all of Dewey's local attractions. We checked in on a Wednesday morning and had full access to the beach which is less than 50 yards away. The staff was friendly, informative and very accomodating. When we checked in, the children... more

This has got to be the worst motel on the planet! I took my eight year old son to Dewey for a quick (two day) father and son beach trip and selected the property after finding it on the Rehobeth chamber of commerce website. Both the chamber's website and the Sand Palace's website are very misleading. They say it was... more

The Sand Palace Motel has served guests for over twenty years. We are a member of the Rehoboth Beach, Dewey Beach Chamber of Commerce and have been for over twenty years. Almost every one enjoys our rooms and hospitality. We are close to the beach and all that Dewey Beach has to offer. We do work hard to insure all...

The hotel is across from an extremely noisy nightclub. Beware if you want to relax or sleep without disturbances. The hotel is close to the beach which is nice. The service was the worst I have ever had. The room was not cleaned and a used sanitary napkin was stuck under the table. The last night of our vacation there... more

We at the Sand Place Motel work hard to insure all our guests are happy. As you can see here, it is impossible to make everyone happy. A fire at a power sub-station caused a power outage for the whole area. After local firefighters spent more than two hours fighting the fire, it took the power company another eight hours...

Our room was quite dirty--the pillows looked unwashed and when we asked for them to be replaced the service people were reluctant and rude. One friend was CUT by a piece of glass (!) (I'm talking BLOOD) that was on the floor of our room, right beside the bed. We informed the front desk and they did not care at... more

We stayed for 3 nights at the Sand Palace and were very disappointed in the hotel quality for the cost. The website should delineate the rate ranges better, as the rates for the time we stayed were only $5 from the expensive end of the range. Our room was right near the pool, which was supposed to close at 9:00... more
