Top South Bethany Harbor Hotel Reviews

Ashore Oceanfront Hotel by Marriott

8/10 Good

"The room was just ok. It had only 1 usable outlet plug (literally one) on the night stand. The other 2 outlets were on the opposite sides of the room, one by the door with no tables (I had to charge my phone from the floor) and the second outlet was for the TV, coffee machine and light so not usable. Side note, very poor lighting in the room. Just seemed to have a lot of night lights on instead of real light. The best part of the stay was the staff who were all wonderful. Everyone was very nice and helpful. Something else to note, that I learned the hard way, is that the Hotel itself is oceanfront, but the rooms have a Partial Ocean View. It's still a nice view but not oceanfront. You also cannot hear the ocean because the AC units outside are so loud. The balcony was very small and really has no purpose. You can stand out there but not for long because the condensation from the upstairs AC unit drips and you can't sit out there. The elevator was also super slow. And because it was so slow, it was always packed so that was no fun. It was not miserable but definitely not what I expected, and we won't be going back. I would give the staff 5 stars and the hotel itself a 3/4. It was clean but a bit rundown with lipstick to cover it up."

Princess Bayside Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

"The rooms were okay, but the furniture could definitely use some updating. The area was quiet and peaceful, and the hallways were clean and well-maintained. The room was okay the sofa bed had a huge stain no sheets or pillows or blankets for the sofa bed I called downstairs to get extra blankets and sheets to use for the sofa bed, and no one never came. Snack and soda machine near the room. my Favorite was the private beach in the back of the hotel small but not to crowded with people water bottles are also a dollar at the kayak rental behind the hotel not too many beach chairs in the back to sit overall I gave it a six out of ten."

Fenwick Inn

8/10 Good

"Overall, the hotel was good, and there was plenty of parking available. However, since we stayed in a pet-friendly room, the cleanliness of the hallways and the room could have been better. When we first entered the room, we noticed a significant amount of pet hair from the previous guest, especially in the corners of the room. On the positive side, the beds and linens were clean and comfortable. However, the breakfast area was quite disappointing. It looked very different from the pictures online and felt more like a college cafeteria than a comfortable hotel breakfast area. The space was not particularly inviting or pleasant for enjoying breakfast. Overall, the hotel was decent, but there is definitely room for improvement when it comes to cleanliness and the breakfast area."

Atlantic Sands Hotel & Conference Center

8/10 Good

"Well the hotel itself was nice! The pool was beautiful and much needed. But our room, the air conditioning pretty much stopped working properly! The first night the maintenance was able to get a fan to help make it cooler. The next afternoon it started becoming unbearable (92 degrees). Tried a bigger fan but to no avail, it was horribly hot!!!! We did get to switch rooms at 1030 pm. We would had left that night and asked for a refund of some sort if not! I hope no one gets stuck with that room until they correct the problem!!!!"

Henlopen Oceanfront Hotel

8/10 Good

"You're paying for the view, and the privilege of walking up to the ocean. Great location, rooms are decent, AC could be upgraded. Would come back again. Some of those 1 star reviews are an exaggeration. I came in loaded w linens, towels, and toiletries, in case they weren't provided. So glad it was not the case, hotel provided everything we needed. Cleaning staff does an amazing job, considering all the SAND. Its a well run property with plenty of charm."
