My wife, teen-age son and I took a long weekend here in August, the third time we've stayed at the Beacon. We had their standard two bed room. As others have mentioned, there's no elevator; you need to walk up at least one flight of stairs to get to your room. The hotel has a warm, old-timey feeling to it,... More

Clean and spacious room with balcony, free coffee, easy walk to the beach and town, decent rates, generous with the towels. The only amenity missing is a safe in the room. One downside is the thin walls. Also, on occasion, a pretty strong sulfur smell presumably from the swamps around the property. Overall I would recommend this hotel.

I've stayed at this motel last year, and was very pleased. The lobby is on the first floor, and the rooms are on the second and third floors, but no elevator.

This is the second year my family and I have stayed at the Beacon. It is a quick walk to the quaint town of Lewes where there are many things to do such as shopping, dining and learning about local history. The Delaware Bay is a quick drive away as is the Cape May-Lewes Ferry and Cape Henlopen State Park.... More

Easy walk into town and to Lewes beach. Short drive to Cape Henlopen State Park and ferry to Cape May. The lobby is nicely decorated with a big fish... More

We stayed from July the 1st to the 4th, 2012. Grandparents and our 12 year old Granddaughter. Everyone at this motel was very pleasant. When you walk in there is a large lobby with chairs a flat screen tv, a lending library and a huge blackboard that everyone can write on. Free cofee and tea is available thruout the day.... More

our family has been staying at the Beacon for 3 years now when ever we go to the beach. Very simple clean and friendly. Very close to the beach

I am pretty fussy when it comes to road-side motels....and we had no choice in this unknown area having to wait for the ferry. What a nice surprise. We had a second floor room that was very clean with NO SMELLS and a VERY comfortable bed. The pool was very nice and the painted murals around are lovely. We had... More
