What guests think

Across recent reviews, Bally's Dover is often praised for clean, spacious rooms, friendly staff, and the convenience of an on-site casino and nearby shopping, making it a practical choice for visits to DSU or short getaways.

Many guests also appreciate occasional complimentary upgrades and quiet, comfortable beds. Common frustrations include the pool, hot tub, and spa being closed long-term, limited or pricey dining with reduced hours and no room service, and outdated rooms lacking microwaves or USB ports. Housekeeping can be inconsistent (often on-request), and some report noise, smoke odors, parking challenges on busy nights, slow check-in, and fees for early or late checkout. Expect a convenient casino stay with solid basics and some dated, limited amenities.

Checked in Wednesday checked out Sunday, during our stay our room was not cleaned two nights, beds unmade, no clean towels or amenities. If it wasn't for Michael the night housekeeping manager we would have been very angry, the first night the room was not cleaned he brought us clean towels and amenities, the second night he came personally and made our beds with clean sheets. Too bad all your employees are not as helpful and willing to do their job. Michael is a keeper!!!!

Over the past three years, I have chosen to stay at Bally's, as I believe it is the safest hotel option in Dover when I drop my student off at college. However, since my stays are typically only 2-3 days, I have overlooked some of the room maintenance issues, but I can no longer do so. Bally's is not a top-tier hotel; it feels quite outdated, and there has been minimal upkeep in the rooms. The pool has been closed for over four years, and given the pricing of the rooms, there should be more amenities available. In my opinion, the room rates should be between $89 and $100 per night. During my most recent stay this past weekend, I noticed that the shower door was off its track, and it felt down why I was in the shower, I was fortunate that it didn’t fall on me. Additionally, the lamp was old, and several outlets were not functioning properly. This hotel is in dire need of a complete remodel to enhance the overall experience.

The bed was horrible, definitely got no sleep. and the rooms are out dated even though they say renovations were done. I had to pay an extra 25 bucks for an extra 20 mins because they have to charge by the hour. Most hotels give you 15-20 mins without a charge.

Hotel was nice and reception staff extremely friendly. Walls in room are not insulated and you hear talking in the next room super clear. Actually I’ve never been to a hotel where you can hear an entire conversation in the next room like they were next to you. Also the 7th floor hallway smelled very strongly of marijuana each time I went to or from the room. Not enough to catch a buzz though.

The check-in staff in the late evening was not helpful, but my guess is he was only enforcing a bad policy by management. I asked for a late check-out of 1 hour, even 30 minutes would help, and he told me "sure... we can do that for a fee of $XX / hour". I asked again, "I only need 30 minutes, you can't make this complementary", but was told, "that will cost you $XX." I left without comment, but I was so angry I didnt even go into the cascino, and left the premise for dinner and to watch the football game. It would be different if this wasn't my 10-12th time staying here, or if I had been told that the room needed to be turned over quickly for the next guest. When the customer/guest feels taken advantage of... they vote with their feet. No need to argue, no reason to cause a scene. You have a bad policy, a bad employee, or both.

I attempted to check in early at 2pm for an additional fee but the reservation wasn’t in the system. I waited 50 minutes before I could check in. I had an important work meeting at 3pm so there was just an unnecessary level of stress put on me because my reservation wasn’t in the system and there was no business office to have my meeting in. I’ve never experienced this anywhere else ever. The pool was under construction as well and not working. We came with our 7 year old son and I don’t recall seeing this documented anywhere in the reservation process.

I live 5hrs away and had been staying at Bally every weekend for several months because my mother was sick. Hotel staff didn't know but my mother had passed and I was checking in to attend her funeral this last stay. My room was upgraded to a spa suite the day of the funeral and I really appreciate the kindness shown to me. The rooms are always welcoming and just what I need after being on the highway for several hours.

Property was adequate, however, when I asked for a late check out, they wanted to charge me $25 per hour. I wanted one hour late check out because I checked in at 11:30 PM, but had to pay the $25 so I did. The woman who checked me in behaved as if I annoyed her by having to check me in so late. I guess it’s typical, but when you check into our resort facility, you expect customer service to be a little more friendly and courteous, not treat you as if you are a nuisance, taking them away from surfing and web.

Food at the Sugar club was slow. No Staff. We had to ask the hostess where our server was. People around us were waiting 20 minutes plus to even order and get a glass of water. Sad experience at the Sugar club. Bars were out of Chardonnay. However, other than that, good experience and better than average casino in the area. Horseshoe is a terrible casino compared to Bally's Dover.

Hotel should really consider reinstating or instating an all day buffet. In the morning to include breakfast items, lunch/dinner change over. If it is done well, you will get more people to come in just for the buffet, who will then probably take advantage of your playing options. This is in addition to the people already either staying or playing.
