“Any season-great hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 27, 2012

I visit this lovely Victorian hotel often.
This time for Thanksgiving weekend.
The hotel was transformed into a beautiful holiday retreat.
You will love to meet Peanut and Emru.
I would recommend an ocean front room.
The sun rises are beautiful.
You can sit on your balcony and watch the people on the boardwalk.
The beach is at your door step.
Dogs catching fresbies, kids running in the sand, surfers in 40 degree weather, a beautiful beach wedding.
You never know what the beach will offer.
These suites are large.
Coffee maker and wet bar.
I always get a mini frig and microwave, but this is an extra cost.
I do wish they had a wash basin in the bathroom though.
Beds are very comfortable.
Pool/spa is small, but lovely.
Not suitable for a person who cannot walk up and down steps.
The fourth floor offers a quieter experience and a private entrance to a roof top whirl pool.
Room service, restaurant on site, pub/bar on site as well as a small gift shop.
A very short walk on the boardwalk and you will be offered all the beach amenities.
You can not go wrong choosing this hotel.

Room Tip: 4th for for privacy. 3 efficiencies available. Get an ocean front room. Ask for AAA discount.

“Superb!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 25, 2012

We stayed two nights over Thanksgiving and thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our visit. We compliment the entire staff for their hospitality, courtesy and friendliness. We were truly pampered. Also noteworthy was the sumptuous and delicious Thanksgiving buffet. We will be back as soon as possible.

Room Tip: Ocean view is good value

“Great time. Would return”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 16, 2012

We stayed for one night. We had an oceanfront suite, with a beautiful view of the Atlantic. Really nice, clean room. The bed was firm and comfortable. Staff was extremely nice, and were always asking if they could help. We would absolutely return again.

“Small Room, Big Furniture, Very Cramped”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 11, 2012 via mobile

We have wanted to stay at this oceanfront Victorian hotel for years and finally did. In season rates ( summer) are about $400/night, which is spendy for a 4 story hotel that is showing its age. The location is its greatest asset, right on the boardwalk on a broad stretch of beach. You can walk to restaurants, bars, shops and amusements in town, all within a few blocks. We were able to have breakfast outdoors on the beach level, which was a delightful and treat on a unseasonably warm November day.

The decor throughout the property is heavy-handed Victorian. Our room, while having ocean views and the welcome sounds/rhythm of ocean waves to sleep by, was crowded with big furniture (and too much of it) ... So much so that you have to turn sideways at the foot of the bed to cross the room. The bed was high off the floor, and the ceiling was low, making the bed uncomfortable to get on or off, and adding to an overall closed or tight feeling in the room. The bathroom, too, was very small.

We enjoyed the location but not the room. For future stays, we'll go back to our favorite place in Rehoboth Beach, the Bellmoor.
