Summer Place Hotel

Everything was covered in dust. Sheets and towels were stained. Luckily I was only staying here for one night. The doors also did not have a deadbolt lock which I found to be strange. If you just need a bed and a shower it is adequate. I asked if there was wifi and I got a response of "yes" with no details... okay. Pretty sure the shower curtain and AC unit had mold in/on them. Absolutely no parking! On me, I arrived later than I had hoped but the hotel only had maybe 5 spaces available but were taken and all the street and meter parking was of course full, it took me over an hour to find a parking space after I checked in, lugging all my stuff in was not pleasant. Shower took forever to get hot but I was glad it was a hot shower.

When I booked the hotel, it clearly stated that it included parking and hot water. When I went there, it was the opposite; I had to pay for parking and hot water, and there's no parking; everything is paid for. I won't be going back; I'm disappointed.

Lack of parking

This property is NOSTALGIC ! Reminds me of when I was a kid and stayed in an old house just like this. It's the charm, regardless of the fact that there were absolutely NO upgraded renovations, it didn't matter to me. Dan is a friendly host. It's incredibly convenient to anywhere you'd like to go in downtown Rehoboth Beach. And there is access to your own parking space. Thanks for the FLASHBACK Dan.

Property was poorly maintained and furnished. Stairs, no elevator. no staff. Required guests to clean their own rooms. Inadequate parking. But close to beach and restaurants

The entire place is dilapidated. It smells like molds. It’s a fire hazard with thin wires outside of walls. No elevator. Creaky stairs. No water pressure. Other than that, it’s close to the boardwalk.

I expected it to be the bare minimum. Just needed a bed and a shower which it had and that was it. The AC did not cool off the room, being in the 3rd floor was not comfortable. Our window faced the main road and the blinds did not close so no privacy. Parking was included at no extra cost.

Great location, one block from beach, inexpensive, but in serious need of renovation/upkeep.. Tiny rooms with old bed and furniture, loose wires hanging all over, door locks look like they've been forced a few times, lobby is cluttered and dismal.. Cheap, and you get what you pay for.

Parking in rehoboth has changed not in favor of the visitor,limited parking compared to people volume.Over the years staying here the owner is inconsistent to understand.

Room was NOT cleaned at all. Also no parking within reasonable distance

We just to stay there a lot 3 years ago and .. it was clean and quiet. But this time I had to get my disinfectant wipes and clean the whole room and the bathroom the shower was horrible the covers were not washed

Dirty room and bad mattress

There was no staff at the desk when I went to check out. The place was filthy. Bed was broken and the least bit comfortable. The fridge was off/unplugged and had rotten food inside. There was a cigarette butt behind the head of the bed.

Room was filthy. Refrigerator had stinky water laying in the bottom of it. Trash bags in trash cans were reused. Floor was dirty and carpet had dirt and hair on it. Kitxhen counter had crumbs and spills on it. Microwave was so disgusting with food and grease that there was bo way we were going to use it!...Only thing clean was the bed sheets and the towels. Water poured in under the entrance door for 2 days due to it was raining,which flooded the kitchen floor. Out of 2 space heaters only 1 worked. Half inch gap between the window jam and the window in the living room area which let wind in all night. Entrance door DID NOT LOCK from the outside so anyone could have gone in when we left to go enjoy the town! I have never stayed in a place this unclean. Next time i will pay $9.00 more and stay at one of the other local hotels. It was so bad,I came home and threw all my clothes in the washer,coat and shoes too! Live and learn!!!

Horrible property in a great location. The room was tiny, the beds were crooked and there was a nine inch gap between the bed and headboard. The floor was dirty, there were crumbs on the sofa, there were debris on the bathroom floor, stains on the wall and the shower curtain, there was no overhead light and one of the two lamps wasn't working. The mini fridge was the nightshade between the two beds, the bolt was broken, the bathroom door was peeling off and the bathroom grout was moldy. The electrical outlet in the bathroom was broken and one of the outlets in the living room did not have a cover which is definitely a code violation. Extremely sloppy and I would be ashamed if I owned this place.

it’s nice for a night or two. room wasn’t clean. white stuff all over the microwave and fridge. hair through out the bathroom. bed sheets stained.

The room smelled like cigarette smoke, the bathroom floor was soaking wet with foot prints upon check in, the sheets were visibly dirty, the ac unit was very moldy, there was a dirty shirt in front of the beds head board from a previous guest staying there, the stairs and decking are falling apart, and finally a piece of brick mold from the door going inside the building fell on my head as I was standing outside.

I don’t think they changed the bed sheets or the comforter because there was a toe nail and hair on the bed and the comforter is stained and dirty

This place is in desperate need of repairs. The room was dirty, the sheets were dirty , stained and sandy. The floor tile was buckled and just covered with a rug. I had to kill a cockroach.. very bad place to stay .. I barely slept for 2 hours and packed up and left.. I had to book another hotel

The 2 star reviews on Expedia were accurate. I can't believe how much I paid to stay at this junky place but the location is great for walking to the beach and boardwalk. And it was the only room left near the beach when I booked last minute. This place needs a complete remodel, very dumpy compared to every place surrounding it. The futon I slept on in the apartment (B) was wet when we arrived 😬, very short (my feet hung off) and extremely uncomfortable.

Not austere but dinghy and run down. Ground floor window didn’t lock, scuffs on walls, etc. Location was excellent though

Small but close to the beach…walls are very thin could hear everything from the people next door…great price for location

The hotel is very run down. The apartment we stayed in had one double bed and one futon. It claimed to have two double beds. It did not. There was a lot of wear and tear on the room itself. The futon was very uncomfortable. The room itself was clean. They provided clean sheets and towels and pillows. The apartment had a fridge, stove and microwave in the kitchenette. There is no parking except street parking.

I think this place may be an old convent. The room is very small. I don't need much - just a place to sleep. Cold outside and the rooms have no heat so a space heater was issued. It did the job. Place is clean but old and very outdated. Attendant allowed late checkout so I could shower after running the local marathon. Location is great - walking distance to main attractions. All this is acceptable to me - however the noise barrier was terrible. Can hear pedestrians outside talking. Other is rooms above, next door, seemed like they were in the same room. Need earbuds here to get some good sleep.

This is honest, horrible and great property. The bad first The bed was broken and caved in the center. The trim and wall were all different and off center. The AC turned on but didn’t really cool very well. The television is like a foot long and only had one channel, nothing else. Had open wires all over for the lighting. The blinds didn’t have any curtains and the blinds were broken all around so barely functioned. The bathroom has spackle on plaster ok the ceiling and just looks horrible. Also very cramped in the bathroom with no shampoo or conditioner but had hand soap and lotion. The refrigerator and microwave were on the ground and looked ghetto and cheap like the whole place. The stairs to the second floor had loose boards. The great! The front desk I had to call but he came down and helped me immediately and kindly also letting me check in 5 hours early! So thankful. It was ONE block away from the center boardwalk and everything, very convenient. Parking was free for that weekend and said we could park close to the stay which was right where we needed to be! Lots of lighting in the room. Easy to check in and check out overall happy but would only stay here for 1 no more 2 nights and only if I only plan to spend 8 hours to sleep. That’s it. I will go again, just not if I’m on vacation and plan to spend some time around and in the hotel for long periods of time. Not that kind of stay.

Got what I paid for. basically is a bed in a room and a shower. Shower was cold, but bed was warm and comfy. Walls were super thin, we were kept up by couple in the next room over. Dan was pretty cool

I am considered handicapped yet my room was on the third floor and I had to walk up steps. The bed was uncomfortable. I kept feeling like the springs were poking me. Location was great near beach & boardwalk. Parking tag only allowed me to park in certain spaces along the street which were often filled.

Room was super small and outdated for the price

Whether you are at the beach for a getaway or here on business and just want a no-frills hotel just to lay your head at the end of the night, this is the place. I come to town a lot for business, and I spend my days visiting clients. At the end of the day I just want a place to sleep. I don't need a bar (there are plenty within walking distance), a pool (the ocean is a block away), or other amenities that would be needed where I travel elsewhere. If you're looking for the same - a place to just sleep at a decent price - look nowhere else. The price is seriously half of what the cheapest hotels charge, but don't expect a hair dryer, iron, free breakfast, coffee in the lobby or anything else. As I stated above, this is a place with zero frills. However, even though the price may suggest, this is not a cheap roach-infested motel or a place that's been run down to bare bones minimum by a family from India. It's VERY clean! It's not super modern, but it is adequate. The owner is very friendly, compassionate, and accommodating - everything you would expect from a front desk person but much more personable. He's an everyday beach guy so don't expect someone to come out with a suit and tie. This isn't the Hilton and not intended to be. It is the best place to stay in town for the money.

There was a booking error that happened and upon trying to cancel this day, the owner was unresponsive and did not allow a refund. did not stay at this location, but the customer service part of this transaction was bad business

The owner/manager has a kind heart and due to rain let us check in early. We haven’t been here for close to 10 yrs and since last our last stay, it’s fallen deeply into disrepair. It’s evident it’s had some hard times. We didn’t stay due to cleanliness; took a shower and left. We wish them the very best.

Property was very dark and dingy, rented a room for 4 night and didnt even stay there, there was zero staff that you could contact, key was left in an envelope.

Parking is advertised, but nonexistent. We were given a key to a room that was occupied. The receptionist seemed completely unaware of what to do to rectify the situation. They spoke incessantly about random things, while doing nothing to find a solution. I suspect they were high.

No rooms available no one there at check in and waited half an hour

We did not stay. The man who finally came to the desk was very rude. The place looked like a crack house /flop house. It had a bad Oder and I am pretty sure the big we seen was a roach. He told us to come back in an hour because he was on a phone call. We dis not return, we found a room elsewhere. I would like my money back

This is a room in building for rent, not a hotel. Could barely fit past the bed to get to bathroom. The key to the door was not working and the gentle men knew it and text me just jingle and wiggle it no lie. He came and opens door. Was defiantly a very different setting.

No on was at the front desk when I arrived. Had a bell to ring. Rang bell and no on answered for awhile. Finally someone yelled from a room. Asked if I had a reservation. I said yes. He seemed confused. Then he said he didnt know anything about a reservation and would need to call someone. After awhile he came out and just gave me a key. No id check. Very unprofessional.Room was very small. Furniture was old and bed was very uncomfortable. Room was not very clean. There was no way I was going to stay there. I went to another hotel.

Overall a very pleasant and convenient stay, although it was odd to have nobody around when I came in to check in (they did have the materials though and I did not need to do anything major). The owner, from the few times I spoke to him, was pleasant as well. Only drawback was that I heard somebody playing a trumpet one night and lots of chatter the next, but otherwise a nice place to stay.

It was cozy clean walkable distance to beach plenty places around for viewing

Great location ( 2 blocks from Main Drag, Rehoboth Ave)! Tons of shopping & dining just outside your door! Can't beat price!

Small but close to the beach…walls are very thin could hear everything from the people next door…great price for location

I was disappointed with the room and the parking situation is not the best. But I do like the 7 minute walk to the beach.

Great value being one block ftom beach.

Short walk to the beach and boardwalk at a good price.

inexpensive way to stay close to great restaurants and beach

Easy and close walk to the boardwalk and beach, and convenient location for good restaurants!

Great location! Right in town and affordable!

It’s the perfect spot for what you’re paying for. On the same block as the beach. Owner was super cool and check in was incredibly easy. Would definitely go back for another night!

We stayed for two nights, the hotel is very well located and the price was affordable. Unfortunately, the building is poorly maintained, the room was very small with a small fridge and a microwave, the bed sank in the middle and it was impossible to sleep, there was no coffee maker, it looked dirty, the next morning we went to the reception to make a coffee and the coffee machine was broken, not to mention the appearance of the reception. I am a positive person and I have read negative reviews but they turned out to be exactly the truth. A shame because a well-maintained hotel would be beautiful.

Facts are facts and here are the facts. Not family friendly, Very cheap for location, Dirty old building not well maintained 1 - Location for $120 a night, 3-5 min walk to beach and boardwalk. 2- Owner, once you get past the fact the guy is an a$$hole, has some pretty interesting stories to tell. Just act like you give a sh!t and he will tell you all about different places he has been. 3 - Bring a gun, its an open carry state. You'll need it to stay here. 4 - Bugs everywhere. Old building, building falling apart 5 - Dont expect much from A/C units. Mold covered and dont work very well 6 - Bring your own bedding. You dont want to sleep in the hotel issued bedding. Not clean, sandy, moldy, stain covered. 7 - Look up parking even if you paid the hotel for it. Owner doesnt care about you getting a parking ticket. Look up where to park and just for it your self. It will save you a 30 dollar + parking ticket. 8 - Local places to eat do not like to deliver here after 10pm. Many places like Grottos Pizza down right refused to deliver food here after dark. 9 - You are getting what you paid for. This is a hotel ( should be a flop house/hostel ) 1 block from the beach and boardwalk. never pay more than $75 per night for this. 10 - Does make for one heck of a story if you make it out alive. --- Dont stay here unless you know what your doing ---
