First State Inn

We come to Dover each year for a special event. We stay at First State Inn.This was our third year and we will continue to stay there. Good value for the money. It lacks the bells and whistles such as a pool and gym...we have no time for anyway...it is clean and the air is strong. Both the microwave and fridge worked. It was quiet. Many places to eat and/or shop nearby.

Located in Bad area, no large vehicle parking and drug trading taking place

The facility itself is dated and could use some renovation. The bed was huge and comfy, sheets/towels clean - only one bar of soap provided. TV, frig, microwave and A/C were all functional. Carpet needs to be shampooed. TP was cheap and thin. Office staff was hard to understand at check in, then we never saw any other employee. Got a smoking room which was GROSS!

Manager & housekeeping was pleasant. My only complaint is that there was no room on 1st floor available. No elevator. Bed was very comfortable but pillows were flat. Microwave and mini refrigerator worked well.

Property was well lit

Quiet and comfortable. Room was clean and AC worked great as it was hot and muggy outside. Was in town for lacrosse tournament and it met our needs. Close to shopping, dining and entertainment. No frills but would stay here again.

I’m going to rate this based on what the price is and not compare to higher priced hotels that I normally stay at. I was here for Amish bike ride. It was just me and I’m very easy going. The good: - Cost - Fast food. Walk to Wendy’s and McDonald’s are couple doors down. - Convenient stores. Wawa is 5 min drive. - Fairly quiet. I only saw a few cars parked there though. - Non smoking. I got non smoking room and no smell of smoke. - Air conditioner - worked. - No bugs. I didn’t see anything. - Microwave and fridge worked. - Parking - got space in front of room. It was a little empty though. - Businesses - it’s on a busy street so lots of other options if looking for something. Bad - No shampoo. I asked for and didn’t have. - There was dirty towel or was clean with dirt marks. - Visually looked clean but if look closely little dirty. There was actually some dog throw up or something in corner under chair. - Tv - not sure if expecting too much at this price point but tv had no HD. And seemed to only have access to basic channels. I gave it 4 stars based on the price. Would I stay here again - possible but may check out other cheap hotels down the street. I wouldn’t bring my family here unless needed to.

Staff is very nice. Rooms very clean. Quiet area. Close to other businesses.

Dirty bed, dried leaves and cigarette package wrapper under comforter. Drug addicts outside...Road noise, bed and pillows super hard flat stained...

We reallyenjoyed staying here. It was very quiet considering being on a main strip. Was very clean and just what we needed after our long drive. We will definitely make this our go to when we travel that way again

The three rooms I looked at were dirty and had a disgusting smell of cigarette smoke. I didn’t feel safe there so I did not stay. I lost my $100 for my stay. My recommendation to Expedia is to remove them from your listing and save someone from a bad experience.

Sheets were stained, and microwave was nasty

The property was great, and the staff was extremely friendly. I would have been absolutely thrilled with the value of this motel, if the sheets didn’t have mold on them when I turned down the sheets. I had to leave and stay elsewhere.

Cosy and very very clean Just need a tea maker or coffee

When 50,000 people descend on Dover to attend a phish festival and you decide to go late in the game, don't wanna camp in the muggy weather, you pivot and take a room with air conditioner. That was the best part of the room. Normally $75 we got $250 rate because they could. Room hasn't been updated in 20 plus years. Reached of cigarette smoke and air freshener. Carpet had cigarette burns everywhere. Bathroom was stained and gross. But there was a hot shower and a fridge. Normally you get what you pay for... not in this case. Would I stay there again. Maybe if I was as desperate as I was this time around.

The room was clean. The road noise was loud in inside the room.

Was a terrible experience we got there late and the bed was concrete the door on the bathroom was missing parts and was a terrible nightmare to try to sleep

Pas insonorisé

The motel is very clean checkin was very good even though we didn’t get there till midnight. The only thing is that the bed was very hard. My husband said it was fine but not for me

The service was okay for what it is, but the cable didn't work, the bed was hard, and I wasn't provided a wifi code. Not a big deal, but it's definitely a "stay here if money is tight" kind of place.

Paper thin walls kids on the top level running and you could hear everything

Very minimalistic. Rote 13 traffic noise all night!!

Room was just ok. Walls very thin and adjacent rooms were occupied by sketchy people.

The best part of the trip was the fact that I was able to check in at 11:00 at night, but aside from that nothing was really good about to stay. The bed was very loud and squeaky. The hot water in the shower was non-existent, very cold. The TV was extremely small and discolored. I probably won't be ever going back to the site

Staff is very nice. Rooms very clean. Quiet area. Close to other businesses.

A very nice clean mom and pop motel. The manager was very nice. Our room was fully mobility accessible. My wife who is in a wheelchair had no problems at all. Good A/C, fridge, micro. There was no coffee or breakfast but none was promised. There is a McDonalds next door for coffee and breakfast. Overall, this motel was an outstanding value.

I didn't stay here because of bad customer service at the front desk which was closed upon my arrival so I went to buy another room at days inn and return to the desk the next day and man keeps on telling me that he doesn't understand what I was saying...a very bad experience

This was an excellent first night to a long trip - the owners were nice and accommodating. The hotel was clean. I liked staying here

The old man couldn’t understand what I said you could barely speak I was so rough!!!!! To communicate

Very clean and great manager , attentive to the needs of visitors coming to their hotel

My stay was satisfactory, I only needed a place to lay down and wash and for the price I couldn’t beat it, check in is always fast and convenient.

I love the kind, courteous, friendly staff. Clean rooms, quiet, and shopping, casino, and restaurants close by. I love it here!
