We almost stayed there, but when we saw the room we went back and asked for our money back. The owner was very nice, and did not have any problem letting us walk away. The room, however, was really really small, only a little bigger than the bed, and really dirty. It is clearly an old building which I can... More

I have absolutely no idea how this place is still in business. It was quite possibly the most disgusting room I've ever seen (hotel or otherwise). Stains on the carpet, bed spread, and walls, and a silverfish between the sheets! Not to mention the room was TINY. The queen size bed barely fit. Yes, it is close to the beach,... More

Disgustingly dirty. Electrical wires taped to the OUTSIDE OF THE WALL. Window unit AC units with only a flimsy barrier between you and the sidewalk. Bizarre owner/manager. More

The conditions of our suite, apartment, or whatever you want to call it were absolutely deplorable! It came complete with a filthy, disgusting "kitchenette" with crumbs still intact from the previous several guests, the floor hasn't been swept in 10 years (at least), a layer of grime on everything, stained futon and bedspread, cobwebs, dead bugs everywhere... need I say...

My wife and I have stayed at the Summer Place Hotel over the last 10 years and have always had a very nice time. We decided to stay in one of his condos instead of a room and I'm happy to say it was a really nice experience. It was nice to have more room to stretch out and if... More

Summer Place is a very clean and friendly place to stay right near the beach. We have stayed several times and enjoy the value. Rooms are clean, have never had an issue with anything being dirty, there are not a lot of frills, but you are in Rehoboth to enjoy the beach, not hang out in the room! Great place... More

Ok yeah it's right by the beach. However this joint is the type where you should wear flip-flops and bring pillows towels sheets (I'd recommend a throwaway sheet and another sheet on top of that) and blankets from home. If you want a cheap room to party in by the beach it definitely has that going for it! But I... More

I booked this place for my family of 5, to be used only for sleeping. My extended family had rented a beach house down the block where we would spend most of our time. Big Mistake! First of all, our room was dark and dingy, with peeling paint and musty ripped curtains. The owners apparently have no pride whatsoever in... More

First of all I want to say that the poor press is unwarranted!!!! A Summer Place is a quaint throw back to an earlier era!! The manager is just the same. Very kind and affable! He greeted my 6 yr old son and I upon arrival from Owings Mills MD with a gentiel demeanor and made us feel at home.... More
