The weather was gorgeous, the temperature was perfect.
Pros:

The view was of the pool which was ok. The location was ok, a little further from the beach than we usually are, but that was no problem. The room was very clean, but the toilet rocked when you sat down.

Cons:

I did not like having to pay $50 to park at the hotel. I already paid to stay at the hotel, but then I had to pay $50 to park my car at the same hotel I was staying at. That is the first time I have ever experienced something like that.

Beautiful short autumn get-away to enjoy the beach experience without the crowds.
Pros:

Bay view room had excellent view of the Bay and afternoon sun made for delightful afternoons of reading in the warmth of the sun out of the strong winds at the beach

Cons:

I was unaware of a parking fee associated with room rental. That fee should be more apparent in advertisement on website and perhaps emphasized at check in.

Great location, my son enjoyed crabbing from the peer.
Pros:

The location is on the bay, close to restaurants and 1.5 blocks from the beach. Very nice off season. Best to book directly with the motel to avoid the “resort fee”.

Cons:

If you book with a third party extra fees can be added.

Good for a short stay as we were driving back to Florida
Pros:

Location enabled us to walk to our favorite spots in Dewey and the beach. 24 hour coffee available in office.

Cons:

Beds are soft and lumpy. Old bathroom without handrail for tub. All rooms are pet friendly and we do not have pets.

The views and dock made our stay pleasurable. The staff was very nice and kind. Clean but old and dated building.
Pros:

The location is excellent right in the heart of entertainment and restaurants. The bay side view is gorgeous. The desk staff were excellent.

Cons:

The building is old, but clean. The corners in bathroom were dirty, we didn’t have any wash cloths or face towels and didn’t get any until next day. The mattresses and pillows need upgrading. Pillows are lumpy and mattress had sagging where bodies lay. The carpet was clean and room smelled clean. The air conditioner worked great but was noisy and old. For the money we paid I will be staying down the street at Hyatt next time.
