“Good value right on the boardwalk”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 May 2012 NEW
1
person found this review helpful

I was impressed with the Henlopen Hotel. We stayed here on 5/19/12 (admittedly before the start of the season), and I found the hotel to be clean and the rooms to be rather large for Rehoboth. We had a king bed that was not officially ocean view, but we still had a lovely side view of the ocean from our patio. The room included a medium-size mini fridge and small microwave. The bathroom was clean. Don't get me wrong here -- this is not a luxury hotel -- but they provide the service you expect adequately, and keep it clean right on the beach.

The free breakfast was nothing fancy -- all pre-packaged pastry items, Pop-tarts, Nutrigrain bars, bagels, etc., but they were good, not stale.

Big pro: Free parking.

Added bonus: the hotel has changing rooms (including a shower!) in the back, and will hold your luggage for you if you plan a beach day for the day you are checking out.

The only con: the hot water was not very hot. It was more than adequate to take a shower in comfortably, but fans of a scalding hot shower will not appreciate this.

I would definitely stay here again.

Stayed here 5/18/2012. I agree with the review below. The location was great but the hotel is old, and the "free breakfast" is absolute junk. Service wasn't friendly - 3 of the members who were coming to stay at the hotel called to ask a question and 3 times (probably 3 different staff members) were rude. Won't stay here again.

“No good....”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 May 2012

We did not have a nice time! We paid $140 for a basic room

The bad:
- Service was awful - three different front desk staff were in bad mood each time we spoke to them!
- Breakfast was not nice - everything in plastic and everything served on or in paper! When will hotels learn that the planet cannot sustain this daily consumption of paper products.
- Room was clean, but last refurbished in 1970 something
- The towel smelled like they had not been washed
- The bed linens had not been ironed

The good:
- Free parking
- Walk-able to town which was nice
- Right on the ocean front - which counts for a lot

We will not be going back

Room Tip: avoid the place

“ok stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 May 2012

we stayed here overnight for a quick start of the season trip to the beach. The location was nice. right on the beach and a little farther down the boardwalk so it was rather quiet. The room was clean and spacious, a bit out dated but clean. When we arrived the lady behind the desk told us we had a free upgrade. She stated she didnt know how we got it because they dont upgrade when the room is booked on a seperate site. Uhm, ok. kinda took happy out of the upgrade but ok. The breakfast was something a little different. Everything was pre packaged. really not a problem until we realised there was no milk for the cereal and the prepackaged bagels were all covered in mold. Makes me wonder how often they check on the food.
