Top South Bethany Hotel Reviews

Fenwick Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Entire hotel is exceptionally well kept and clean. Vista rooftop is excellent."

Hyatt Place Ocean City / Oceanfront

8/10 Good

"We had a wonderful stay this past Sunday thru Thursday. The hotel is clean, the hot & cold breakfast everyday was great, I love that the pools are open until 10 pm for a relaxing night swim. Although I love animals I think they should dedicate certain floors/rooms for them as our room had a slight dog smell. No microwave in the rooms, it would be nice in the rooms. Not complaining just making suggestions, defiantly would stay here again."

Plim Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was great but the restaurants weren't. They shorted us 3 crabs and left the clams off the meal. When asked about it they said they were out of clams and they would put 3 more crabs in for us.if your paying 140 for a meal you would think they'd te1ll you they were out of stuff when your ordering. Went to get some breakfast sandwiches for us and the waiter said I had to order from the bar. I waited 10 minutes and was totally ignored. No customers but me. So I got some sandwiches elsewhere."
