Bay Resort is what's happening, book it.
Pros:

Nothing stood out as a problem. The pool area is very nice. The pool size was sufficient for some mini lap swimming, very pleasurable. The kitchen and coffee in room service very welcome. Several coffee brands were prepacked. Stove, microwave and kitchen nicely done. I expect to return to Bay Resort next time.

Cons:

Some might prefer to be on the beach side of the Dewey Beach layout. But its only two blocks wide so one can walk to the beach. Also the bay side facilities hotels, restaurants all have pleasant views of sunsets as well as soft cool evening breezes. So Bay Resort, on the bay is not a problem. IMO. One very negative item: Parking. All the hotels add for a parking spot at the hotel. But if one wishes to park at a restaurant a hike from any hotel, Dewey Beach contract venders really rake in the bucks. Find a spot, scan in a QR code and process your credit card, two hours $9. Go figure, $30, $40, $100 are very possible. Families with gear, might drive to the beach access, keep the motor running, unload everything, and have dad or mom drive the car back to the hotel, paid, spot and walk back to the beach while the gang sets up the beach HQ. Have fun, Beach Resort is your friend in a hostile parking jungle. (don't kid yourself, gendarmes are patrolling ticket writers, big time)

It’s horrible
Pros:

None

Cons:

It’s old ,dusty and flies in room 111 (5 or 6 of them)
I choose to pay more for first floor total $143 for 2 adults. When I check in around 7 pm the front desk charge me another $14.99 for parking fee. This is a motel parking just in front of the rooms not downtown. I thought booking.com said free parking
.3 miles to the beach. It’s just playgrounds behind my room and the bay. It’s not look good like the pictures that show on advertising. I can’t wait to go home. I’m very disappointed. Never stay here again 😡

Beautiful views from the bayside rooms.
Pros:

The location is beautiful and very convenient to restaurants and ocean. It is right on the bayside with beautiful sunsets.

Cons:

Our room could use a thorough deep cleaning. The staff did respond quickly to replace burnt out bulbs and clean the A/C vents. They had water issues during our stay ( broken water main and next day no hot water) that were beyond their control and were repaired quickly. The bed was comfortable and they provided ample towels. The room had a “kitchenette”with a small stove that has seen better days. They are doing some renovations that will hopefully improve the rooms.
