We enjoy the stay because the room is always ready and the hotel is very close to our friends.
Pros:

I think the breakfast is very good and different foods to choose from over a three day stay makes it better. The staff is excellent and pleasant. They are always very willing to accomodate.

Cons:

Nothing

Wonderful stay at the Hotel Bethany Beach!
Pros:

I liked the continental breakfast, the pool, the fresh lemon/orange water and cookies in the lobby. The staff was exceptionally pleasant.

Cons:

Nothing could have been improved upon. I’ve stayed there also the last 2 summers and the staff was even more friendly/happier than usual!

A lovely staff and clean hotel
Pros:

We loved the friendliness of the staff. They were so helpful and kind!

Cons:

I didn’t like that we had to pay more if we wanted housekeeping during our stay. I didn’t read the fine print. My husband didn’t seem to think it was a deal breaker, and it truly was fine. I just missed the luxury of someone else making the bed for me, which isn’t a deal breaker.
