  • Expanded breakfast selection was a surprise.
  • Housekeeping was almost no existent.

“Front desk staff was useless. Originally gave us uncleaned rooms. Could not offer change for the laundry facilities and didn't have paperwork in order at check-out.”

  • They need to watch the food.
  • The Elevator.

“Everything for your breakfast in the lobby was gone there was nothing hot to eat when we got there and couldn't wait for the next round. I was there because my son was in the hospital there in Dover, De. That really disappointed me.”

  • I liked the complimentary breakfast.
  • I did not like that the elevators were slow.

“This hotel was very close to all of the major attractions in Dover. The employees were very nice and accommodating. There is a night club attached to the property but the rooms are away from this area. I would stay at this hotel again.”

  • The pool.
  • The nightclub and the elevators.

“This hotel was what I expected for the money. It could be so much better if they would replace the carpet in the hallways and fix up the elevators. The room was clean and comfortable.”

  • None.
  • Roaches, attached night club, dirty carpet, paint smelling hallways, noise.

“This hotel was assigned 1 star. Hotel is under renovation and should not accept any guests. Hotel hall and rooms were dirty, bathroom had roaches, and carpet was dirty. Night club was housed in the same building and it was very noisy and drunken people were roaming in hotel parking lot. Overall experience was terrible.”

  • Not much, other than it was quite, at least at the end of the hall.
  • Hallways and elevator had rank smell, had to use stairs it was so bad.

“Would not recommend a friend. Appeared clean, had a stale musty smell in hallways, and the elevator smelled so bad, we had to use the stairwells and my wife has asthma, so it was an inconvenience for her. For the priced charged, I expected a lot better.”

  • Room was close to were I parked my car.

  • Location.
  • Nasty smelling rooms and hallways.

“The rooms posted on hotels.com, are not the rooms available. The hallway was filled with Smokey mildewing smells. We asked for non smoking room which on side of the hall way was smoking and the other was non-smoking not too smart try having a whole floor designated for each preference. The room, the double beds were old (solid mattresses and springs worn out). The bathroom was mildewed Nasty caulking around the sink with built up dirt in the corners of the dirty floor. The room was just Nasty...”
