The place could really use some upgrades, or some TLC. It could be a great property in a perfect location. Each room needs to be addressed and throughly cleaned, painted, etc.
I will never stay in that hotel again.We changed 3 rooms one room was cigaret smoke smell very bad other one had bed bugs a lot.Rooms aren’t clean looks old not recommended. If you rent it first check bed for bed bugs.
Front desk staff was extremely friendly. Upon arrival, the staff notified us that the motel closed out the booking multiple months ago to the booking websites. However, the booking websites kept booking rooms that weren't available. Myself and multiple other people that booked on the websites did not have a "valid" reservation and had to pay AGAIN for a motel room. The rooms weren't the cleanest but they were not terrible.
The room seemed to not have been cleaned. Cob webs and dead bugs and dirt on the floors. Towels were dirty and the sheets did not smell or feel clean. A big gap under the front door so will need to pack a towel under it to keep any bugs or cold air from coming in.
Room was super clean with plenary of space . The bed was comfortable and the AC worked great and shower had excellent water pressure. This building may look old but I was pleasantly surprised with upgrades to the interior!! Will definitely stay there again next year. Check in was fast and easy, especially as it was a last minute booking, and housekeeping was prompt.

Lots of shopping availability, not traveling with children, but general area was/ seemed family friendly. Would definitely consider same hotel stay for the $ and EASY.
STAFF was amazing and friendly 100%. Property a bit run down- needs alot of cosmetic work. The beds were extremely comfortable, clean sheets, showers had hot water. Everything we needed for a 3 day stay weekend 2 rooms, 4 adults. Suited OUR needs. A very good to great stay over all for sure.

They told us they do not honor online reservations when we showed (Dover inn sent an email too not just Expedia) and it wasn’t just us it happened to several other people visiting from out of state were also stranded without a room because of these people. Then when Expedia called they didn’t admit they double booked because there was a concert and could get more for the room then what all our reservations paid now they claim maintenance issues lol I’m sure they have “maintenance issues” but you don’t let people drive from states away and do this that’s a character issue not a business policy issue. Take these people off Expedia
Property is old and in disrepair. The walls are terribly stained. The bed was not leveled, a whole near the air-conditioning, and no hot water. Many stray people near the property. I think they rent by the month.
Bathroom was dirty , Room was dirty , Towels were used . Tub and sink was dirty . Sheets and Bedding looked as if they haven’t been changed . Overall everything was nasty and dirty
Booked my hotel at 5:30 p.m., got the confirmation email, showed up at 11:30pm to check in. Note that I'm from out of state, I go up to the desk to check in and he says that there are no more rooms available, I said that I received a confirmation email that my booking was confirmed, he then claimed that Expedia was to blame for it and that there was nothing he could do for me,. So I didn't have any place to sleep that night, but what made matters worse is that the next day they ended up charging me for the room, and I had to go through my bank and Expedia to contest the charges. Allegedly their incoming phone call lines don't work, which is very convenient since nobody could verify whether or not there was truth to the matter because they couldn't even speak to the clerk, based on other reviews that I've read, maybe it was a blessing in disguise, seems like it is a roach infested disgusting hovel anyway. Caveat emptor, watch your back and don't endorse this place, it is literally run by thieves and Vandals
I was appalled by walking into the room. It was filthy. Windows were screwed shut. You could see the door was kicked in at one point in time because they didn’t fix it not safe couldn’t reach the air conditioner. There was no coffee pot no hairdryer. do not book here.
