“Awful, disgusting!”

Reviewed 1 week ago

We booked this hotel for its proximity to the beach. We arrived at 10:50pm just in time before the office closed. When walking into the room the moldy smell that hits you is absolutely horrid! The rug and the couch were stained and filthy. It was the worst hotel room I'v ever seen. I slept in my clothes on top... More

“Disgusting”

My husband and I just needed a break so we decided to stay here for one night (thank god only 1) due to it's oceanfront location. There was something off-putting about the outside of the building and it took me awhile to realize that there were no balconies. What oceanfront hotel doesn't have balconies? This was an omen of things... More

“a step out of time”

Let me start with the truth that I spent summers at Dewey Beach one block fro this hotel and remember when it was built. The last time I was there was 25 years ago and the hotel at that time was starting to run down. Web site was very accurate, did not mislead us at all in descriptions or photos.... More

“Great Location but Old and Dirty”

Reviewed 2 weeks ago

Great location but old and dirty. We picked this Hotel due to its location on beach and the kitchenette's. What threw us off at the very start of our vacation was dirty stained sheets on the bed sheets, stains on the couch and the bench. The rug was so dirty I didnt want to walk in there without shoes on.... More

“Friendliest Front Desk in Dewey!!”

The Surf Club is located oceanfront in Dewey Beach. Fabulous location, with all of Dewey Beach's restaurants and bars within walking distance. The room was very clean, but the Murphy beds are old and uncomfortable. VERY dated décor. The front desk was very friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. Nice to have a swimming pool to jump into after the beach, as... More

“Not perfect”

My husband, myself, and our 4 children checked in on Saturday evening. The rooms have touch entry which is nice, but upon opening the door I wasn't sure if I was walking into a hotel room or out of a time machine. To say the room was out of date would be a gross understatement. Ancient stained couch, Murphy bed... More

“Great location with a very friendly staff.”

Reviewed 3 weeks ago

This was a very laid back place to stay. The rooms were spacious and the kitchen was clean and equipped with may supplies. The furniture and rugs definitely need to be updated but not a big deal if you plan on spending most of your time on the beach, which was very accessible.

Thank Alissa D

“Great Location But Very, Very Dirty”

Stayed here for the weekend and while it was a great beachfront location, it was so dirty that I cringe at even the thought of the place. The sheets / pillowcases were dirty and covered in hair and makeup from the last people who stayed in the room. No one cleaned our room or emptied our trash during our two... More
