My wife and I wanted a getaway over the 3-day President's day weekend. We were quite familiar with Lewes, but mostly visited on day-trips. What attracted us to Hotel Blue was a fireplace in every room. It is very well-located, near the canal and only a few minutes walk to the "downtown" such as it is. It is also a few minutes drive to the bay, and perhaps a 10 minute drive to Cape Henlopen State Park (though we didn't use it). The decor is modern, and very inviting. The staff was friendly enough. The suite was immaculate and well-appointed. There were a number of little things that prevent me from rating it excellent. The layout of the suite, with the bathroom down the hall from the bedroom was a little inconvenient. The bed was not especially comfortable though good enough, and it was noisy. The microwave seemed to be overheating -- something would have a burnt smell. The water in the sink near the microwave didn't run without causing the pipes to make a horrible pounding noise. The heating was not even, the bathroom was cold. The boss declined to show us other rooms (so we could see what might be available on a return trip) after people had checked out and new ones had not yet checked in -- too busy I guess. Nevertheless, we greatly enjoyed our stay, and would consider a return visit.

What a great find in Lewes, DE. My wife and I were traveling from NH to VA and had just gotten off the Cape May Ferry. We decided to stay overnight in Lewes and discovered this wonderful Hotel. The room was the best hotel room we have ever stayed in. The shops and restaurants are a short 5 minute walk away. Will definitely stay here again.

A last minute booking for a wonderful couples retreat. Bringing in the New Year overlooking the quaint town of Lewes, sipping the hotel surprise gift bottle of bubbly, and enjoying the dropping of the illuminated anchor from the town's prize lightship, the Overfall, was an absolute delight. The Hotel staff is very welcoming and friendly. Once you cross the Hotel Blue threshold you get this great feeling about the place from its in-room cozy fireplace to its colorful, warm decor and comfortable bed. This is our third stay at this hotel and we highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get away from the rat race and enjoy some time together.

This is a quaint little hotel perfectly situated within walking distance of shops and the beach. The staff was nice and the room well aportioned and very clean. All rooms have queen size beds but they are VERY hard. I tossed and turned all night because I felt like I was sleeping on a board. I contemplated moving to the couch but there weren't extra blankets. Moving would have meant truly stealing the covers from my partner. I personally won't stay here again but it had nothing to do with the hotel, staff or location. I just need a bed that's less brick and more feather.
