Very enjoyable, staff was attentive and the room was clean. Lots of towels and hot water.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This place is terrible in every possible imaginable way. The lobby was crowded with drunk people and smelled of smoke. The room smelled musty and had debris and hair on the ground. The heat did not work. When we complained, the front desk attendant did respond and had to literally remove the existing AC/Heat unit and replace it at midnight. The whole […] ordeal left insulation and dirt scattered all over the room. The loud music continued till about 3am. I travel a lot but the breakfast at this place was literally the worst I have ever seen. Please save your money and stay somewhere else no matter what rate you are getting Read more

Wanted to get a stay on the beach, to my surprise for 79.00 bucks they gave me a great ocean front room ... can't beat it for twice the price at R... beach

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

My boyfriend and i just spent four nights here during our spring break from college and we loved it! The staff was super friendly, our room was beachfront and so nice! Granted this is a slow time of year (April) the location was perfect, on the boardwalk and just a short walking distance to tons of shops. If we ever go back to rehoboth for a vacation […] this will definitely be our first choice! Read more

I have never done a review of anything online before, but I wanted to write about the Henlopen Hotel because our family experience was wonderful. Everything in the hotel worked and the rooms were clean, but it's true that the hotel could probably use some renovation. Renovation or not, however, the hotel experience was not diminished. The views from […] rooms were incredible and the balconies were wide and had chairs to sit down on to enjoy the ocean. I thought the breakfast was great. While fresh fruit would be welcomed, what was on offer sufficed for a morning of relaxation. The staff were really kind and helpful. If I wanted information on restaurants they were a wealth of information and more than happy to go online for more information if needed. When I arrived at the door with too many things, someone was there to open the door. I don't know if I've ever stayed at a place with kinder staff, and I travel regularly. Overall I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a gorgeous view and appreciates kind and generous staff. Read more

Went for just one night to get away and have a little relation and romance.Had an oceanfront room which was wonderful and saw a ton of dolphins from our balcony.

Nice hotel, great location. Not the prettiest or in the best condition but does the job and provides a good continental breakfast. Right on the boardwalk and you can't beat that. You have to pay for wi-fi in case that's important in choosing a hotel.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The staff doesn't seem to care. The room, too, shows a lack of any warmth. Hospitality is a word with little meaning here. Everything was by rote, no smiles. Light bulbs in fire exits missing. Noisy ballroom and early AM construction noise did lead to a fair refund. On the beach a big plus but we wouldn't stay here again.

Stained carpet, noisy air conditioner, musty smelling room. Unhealthy "free breakfast".

Hotel was OK, but kind of musty. Breakfast buffet was pathetic.

Genuine Expedia guest review

It's a two star hotel, it was safe and quiet. No complaints for what was spent. Room cleanliness was however questionable. Entering a room that was to be Cleaned to find a cookie and potato chip wrappings in the dresser draw.The tub was not cleaned in the morning raising cleanliness issues. No paper or pen to write with.

HOTEL WAS VERY OLD DECORED TV WAS OLD AND VERY FEW CHANNELS TERRACE FURNITURE WAS DIRTY AND STAINED (VOMIT) BATHROOM VERY SMALL. AIR CONDITIONING UNIT WAS VERY NOISE, HAD TO SHUT IT OFF IN ORDER TO SLEEP NO PLACE TO SIT AND RELAX, ONLY A TABLE AND 2 VERY HARD CHAIRS TO SIT ON

Genuine Expedia guest review

It was a bit disappointing...minimal TV programming, no internet access, no hair dryers, small bathroom, parking was difficult . However, being on the beach was a huge plus!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

despite some negative reviews I have read, I booked a room for a weekend with my friends. I was very pleasantly surpised that the front desk staff was more than helpful and friendly.I asked for suggestions for places to eat, and was given several very good suggestions along with a map showing where they were located by Arlina. We were also surprised […] to learn we had been given a suite, when we were expecting a single room. Our room was more than adequate for our needs, and everything was clean. Our housekeeper Teresa even left us extra towels outside our door even though we had hung the "Do not Disturb" sign. We really appreciated that.The hotel is on the end of the boardwalk, and was very quiet. The beach was mere steps from the beach, and just a short walk on the boardwalk to the center of town. There is also a parking garage on site, so there is no worry about finding a parking spot.And the continental breakfast that was included helped with meal expenses. My friends and I agreed that we would definitely stay there again. Read more

Very very nice. This hotel has a free breakfast, cereals milk, juices,coffee, bagels toaster danish, muffins and nutrigrain bars and oatmeal for microwave. This was so easy and saved us money. Very impressed. Our carpet by the refrigerater was stained and detracted from the cleanliness of the room , but otherwise everything was pristine. Loved the ocean […] view and the location on the boardwalk. great place for family vacation. LJ Richmond,Va Read more

would not recomend this hotel until some changes are made , most htels i have stayed at had a laundry room for guest , you need to get one.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Oceanfront balcony made this the best vacation ever. September weather was perfect to open balcony door with cool ocean breezes. In hot summer I would be forced to use the wall unit AC and they are noisy interfering with ocean sounds. Free parking garage is a major plus for this location in a resort town. If you love being close to ocean without the […] sand, you will love this hotel. Read more

We enjoyed our hotel stay a lot, except for two factors: the locks on the room doors were difficult to use and the staff was VERY unfriendly! The continental breakfast was nice, but could use some fruit or something healthy! The hotel was recently updated and very clean! The location was perfect; at the end of the boardwalk so it was very quiet. It […] was also a short walk to the shops and dinning. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and we could go again. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

The bed was old and shot, there was construction/remodeling going on and had to listen to the work all day long. Bathrooms were a joke, you could barely get in and turn around to close the doors. NO wi-fi. If you wanted it you had to go thru a third party company and pay about five dollars an hour or ten a day, We went over to Starbucks just to check […] on our business emails. No pool, We were so dissapointed we left a day early and paid to go to another place just to try and get some enjoyment from our vacation. And the coffee they served was so watered down it was a joke. Overall the worst place we have stayed at in a long time. Read more

It was our first time in Rehoboth. The walk wasn't too far to the main part of the boardwalk and Rehoboth ave where most of the shops and restaurants were. The room is outdated but clean. Thin walls. The front desk staff was not friendly and looked at you like you were a bother. Easy access to the beach. I would stay again if i had to but, we prefer […] being closer to the fun. Read more

Clean, comfortable room with a great location.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We have stayed here before and found it to be ok, but this time was disappointing and will not be staying here again. Room #1. Key lock to door hard to open because of old doorknobs and locks (key lock). Screen door to balcony off the track and broken so that we were not able to keep the sliding glass door to the balcony open while keeping flies and […] other flying insects out with the screen door. Because of this, we requested a different room. (Not sure why they would keeping renting a room with a broken screen door). Room #2: Also had a broken screen door but not as bad. I was able to secure it shut with a bit of effort. But this room smelled like bad B.O. The wife did not smell it, so I ignored it. The fridge hardly worked. It did not get cold enough. With the first shower, the pole and shower curtain fell completely off the wall. All the staff was emotionless and seemed to be silently fed up with their jobs and probably the never-ending complaints I'm sure they got. When I suggested they wait to rent out the first room again untilt the screen was fixed the said nothing and looked at me with a blank glance. Lastly, the quickest route to the boardwalk is to the rear of the buillding, but the probalem is there is no ramp, so if you have a baby stroller like we did, you have to slowly and carefully pick up the stroller and gradually step down the stairs. Obviously, if you are handicapped, you will have a bigger problem. Read more

the hotelmanager steve was extremely nice to make our vacation more pleasurable.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Being right on the boardwalk was very nice but this property is old and in the process of being refurbished; as a result I couldn't enjoy my time on the partial oceanview balcony because of the noise from compressors. The front desk was fan irly efficient but not particularly helpful. When I got into the room I noticed that the pull down shade was installed […] crooked; as a result the shade was flush with the wall all the top but by the bottom of the window there was an inch wide gap between the shade and the wall. Peep show time! I reported this in the morning and by the time I got back from breakfast it was fixed, which was good, On the minus side, the breakfast... everything wrapped in cellophane, and only whole milk, no fat free. I skipped it and paid fur breakfast on the Avenue. All in all, disappointing. Read more

It's about the location for us and this is right on the beach so didn't have to go far with all the beach stuff. We had bikes and they had no problem with us taking them to our room. Hotel is old and needs major work, like our door was hard to close and there was no screen door on our balcony, but we were on the 6th floor and we left the balcony door […] open all night and no problem with bugs. Toilet -bathroom tiny but double sinks are separate. Roomy room even with 2bikes. Breakfast was prepackaged bagels, cereal and muffins ... Not the best, but we could grab and run. Beds comfortable.

We had a perfect room with ocean view and would definitely like to return. The hotel Henlopen was conveniently located to restaurants and shopping.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Right on the boardwalk, with parking provided, we walked everywhere and never moved our car. Our room was average, nothing special about it. We did see one roach, which is the reason for the lower cleanliness score, but otherwise was clean. Every room has a balcony which is nice. Overall great location with very average accomadations.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Was looking forward to stayin there. Was told we have to switch rooms the next day when we chech in. the next day when I went down to the desk , they said we could stay in the same room. the air condition vent was full dirt.No TV channel listing and chairs on bacolny were cheap, you had to be afraif to sit on them. The beds were comfortable and location […] to th beach was good. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

We had the most amazing uninterrupted beach and ocean view from our balcony up and down the coast as far as we could see. This ocean front room was very large with 2 queen size beds and a couch sitting area. It has a large bathroom with double sinks and separate shower from bathtub. The entrance lobby is very nice and tasteful, recently decorated. The […] elevators are also nice and the indoor parking is ample and convenient. The hallways to the rooms are very disappointing with huge trash cans by the elevators that have a "service back door feel to them". Unfortunately the rooms are a bit run down and not as clean as I would like them. Front desk service was excellent . Location is the best with a spacious beach, and a very short walk to restaurants and shops but far enough to be quiet at night. Skip the continental breakfast if is served in the ground level room: Very depressing. Overall: I loved the view and will certainly go back if I can get an ocean front room. Read more

Older hotel that needs some updating. Rooms were clean. No swimming pool. No DVR. Continental breakfast was decent. Overall it was decent for the price especially for the ocean view and close to the beach location requireing little walking with chairs, umbrella etc. Would consider booking there again.

Location was ideal. It would be nice to have different options for breakfast. I would have like a piece of fruit; apple, banana...I'm not a ceral, poptart, or bread person, so other than orange juice (from a bag) and coffee, the breakfast was less than desirable. The additional lock inside the room was broken, there were only 4 clothes hangers (for […] two people). The hotel has soda machines on each floor. Coke, Nestea and water were the options, but there was never any water in the machine. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The front desk service was mediocre at best, we were doing them a favor by being there! Did not expect two loose keys to tossed on the counter and the woman to say "Here you go, oh and you might have issues with the keys". This hotel is the last on the boardwalk, expect to walk to get anywhere. Take a small car as parking is tight, dark and sparse. […] Don't expect any help from the front desk, they are more worried about phone calls and other people. Read more

this was our 4th time at Henlopen - we love it. the employees are very accommodating and you just can't beat the location. Just two items on my wish list for Henlopen. Outdoor showers like they have for the condo owners and couples WITHOUT children being able to use the condo rooftop pool. Only after Labor Day when so many of the condo owners have already […] left for the season. Read more

Nice staff at the hotel. It also has a great location. It was not as nice as we'd have liked. The a/c is loud as it cycles on and off. The room appeared clean but could have used a deep cleaning. The buffet breakfast suited us (cold cereal and milk for the kids), but could be upgraded.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I stayed at this hotel 36 years ago so of course I wasn't expecting it to be the same. Half of it is condo now and the formal dining room on the 8th floor is used for banquets and special events these days. But it is still a great beachfront venue with a rich history despite the years of sun and salt. We had a very pleasant stay but the packaged breakfast […] items either need to be improved or should just be discontinued. There didn't seem to be anything healthy there except the orange juice. Can't beat the view or acess to the State Park. I would recommend this hotel. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

We lucked out completely! Booked a standard room and the girls at the front desk upgraded us to a King Bed with an oceanfront view! Aside from that they had to be the nicest staff we'd ever encountered in a hotel. The rooms were beautiful and had a wicked shower! Had a great time!

Older hotel but it was clean and quiet. Rooms aren't big but if you plan to spend all of your time on the beach it is fine.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

For the price, I've stayed In better places.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Room and bath was very good, balcony needed some cleanup. Front desk staff can use some customer service skills, specially at check out time. Wi-Fi service is available but they charge a fee which was disappointing. Room fee was high enough to cover it. Breakfast could be better, staff was friendly.
