I was pleasantly surprised with this motel. The decor was totally updated. Lots of of space for your things and the beds were comfortable too. We also chose the Oceanside because they are pet friendly. That said, the motel was always clean and never smelled the least bit "doggy" and trust me there were plenty of them there. A few details to note this is three story structure and there is no elevator. The ice machine cost 25cents but it's enough to fill your little bucket. The front desk also doubles as a public cafe but guests can get the complimentary continental breakfast in the morning. My only peeve here was they offer the smallest coffee cup possible. There are also two upper decks where you can smoke. And last, it's literally a short stroll to the beach.

Mold?! Gross

The cafe was dirty. There were 3 tables and one of them was covered with a bag of fast food and had a book bag sitting there for over and hour. The girl working the counter didn't really seem to care she was working. Her phone was plugged in on the windowsill and she was sitting behind the counter. Finally a young girl, who we think was also working but not sure, came to get her mess and bag. The girl behind the counter now had a friend and there were watching something on her phone with ear buds. (All this aside) the place was filthy. They had a double door entrance with one being locked and the other had the kickstand taped up with scotch tape. That left the door constantly open with flies and heat coming in. The manager and co owner, a shorter dark haired woman was so extremely rude, confrontational and condescending I couldn't even believe the way she was talking to us and everyone else. They do a really great job of taking pictures and using the right angles. There is nothing "resort" about this motel. It is a 3 story, no elevator, facing the street motel that was absolutely filthy. I had 2 pets and we are smack dab in the middle on the 2nd floor. The stairwells stunk and were dirty and the sidewalks were narrow and dirty. The pool was small and filthy as well as people were allowing their dogs to swim in it. When entering, you can tell that they started upgrading rooms which is great. They featured newer lamps with lots of plugs a decent tv, good size mini fridge and microwave. That's where the good ends. The room had obvious signs of water damage and the ceiling was peeling and falling off all around the door and the only window in the room. The bathroom was DISGUSTING!! It was dirty, the tub was cracking, and it had a rusty shower rod that was also falling apart. The beds were the most UNCOMFORTABLE bed I've ever slept on. Every time I turned a spring popped. Don't even get me started on the pillows. There were 3 but might as well have been one because they were thin and not comfortable. Their customer service was honestly the worst I have ever encountered. I was visibly shaken by the way the manager treated me and didn't feel comfortable even staying there so we ended up leaving and losing our money because absolutely no refunds and "too bad" was what the female manager and the older man working said. In fact they told us to "go stay at the Hyatt down the street" If you're looking for a truly hospitable place, do yourself a favor and stay at Adam's oceanfront right down the road. They were clean and right on the beach and they had an amazing pool.

God Awful!!! WILL NEVER STAY HERE AGAIN! Staff is rude and unaccommodating. Half of them had no clue what they were doing. The room was not clean. The roof leaked with sagging ceiling tiles and mold above them. I got VERY sick following my stay in room 317 for over a week requiring 2 rounds of steroids upon return home so I could breathe and talk. Missed 2 days of work and I'm STILL not right. I'm NOT a lawsuit type of person, but I'm thinking about it now!

We stayed in room 118. The floor and carpet were wet constantly. If you wore shoes there's a possibility of slipping on the tiles If your in just your socks, they got wet. Not sure if it was because the humidifier didn't work or because water was seeping in. For the price it's not a bad place to stay. Just request not to stay in 118. The lack of stars has more with the managers nasty attitude when I mentioned the wet floor than the accommodations.

This hotel it is convenient base on the location close by the beach, the jingle Jim water park and also fun-land for kids, if you are on vacation it is very good area, but the room was ok we paid from Monday to Thursday 700 dollar for 3 night, the es was very noisy and a little uncomfortable, we stay in the hotel to sleep confiable didn't work, the continental breakfast was ok,?i understand it is a complimentary but they can have egg or sausage like in most of the hotels, the rest was just fine

The room was ready on time and exactly what we booked. The room was clean and exactly as pictured in the photos. We booked the ocean front room so that we could sleep to the sound of the waves and watch the sunrise from bed. The beds were super comfortable and I slept like a baby. The Nespresso machine in the room was fantastic. They also had coffee in the lobby and a full complementary breakfast. The lobby and deck areas are great places to hang out. They offer free beach chairs to borrow for the beach. We also enjoyed the lounge chairs by the pool. We enjoyed the music in the outside areas. They have happy hour in the lobby at 5pm with draft beer and hot hors d'oeuvres. Don't forget to stop back at 8pm for warm cookies. Once we parked the car, we never moved it again. This hotel is a short walking distance from the Dewey Brewing Company, Starboard, and other restaurants. We saw dolphins from our balcony and I found sea glass on the beach right in front of the hotel. Insider tips: They do not have an elevator. Book a dune view room on the first floor with an expanded private deck if you cannot walk up steps. Leave the kids at home - they don't have sofa beds or roll-a-way beds.

Something I would have never done on my own because we were unable to travel during the week. Minutes later when I reviewed the confirmation email I realized the error and called the hotel because cancellation resulted in a cost of one night stay. Given it was an unintentional error, I believed hotels.com and or hotel should recognize the error and allow me to rebook. I was given the option to book over the weekend but at a much higher cost. I contacted the hotel and they said they had no control over it because it was booked thru a 3rd party and that I would have to work with hotels.com. I called hotels.com and representative agreed to talk to the hotel. After they spoke they said they were sorry but hotel refused. I said the hotel clarified that they did not control. I called hotel and spoke to manager who continued to say that they had no control. Manager suggested I contact Expedia the parent company of hotels.com. Contacted Expedia and they again contacted hotel. They were able to get hotel to agree to half off. This was great but still too much money for nothing. I feel this is poor business practice and a money grab. Also the management lied to me. Come to find out hotels.com owns the hotel. I will no longer use hotels.com or go to the Atlantic View hotel. Very disappointing.

I also love that they use Who Gives a Crap TP & and canned, not plastic, bottled water -- made me happy that they're supporting good, environmentally conscious companies. The room was very comfortable and clean w/ a sound machine. Steps away from beach (and bay sunset views a short walk as well!) with outdoor shower so you don't have to track sand into your room. Things to consider: As some have mentioned, the rooms have window unit heat/ac and it is loud but we didn't find it disruptive, but if you're sensitive to things like that, you won't be happy. I don't think there are any king, just-one-bed rooms; we would have loved that. I don't think there is daily maid service so if that's your thing, something to consider. None of these things mattered to us and we loved it. Would happily choose it again. Andre, the manager, is super nice and welcoming.

Its designer also deserves 5 stars! But that's not what will bring us back. What will bring us back, is Andre and his honesty, his hardworking/attention to cleanliness, and most importantly his kindness. Andre and his staff go above and beyond for their guests. From finding/shipping a lost ring (for another quest) to taking pride in the appearance of the motel, from sharing great ideas for food/drink/etc. He cares!!! He made our stay in the comfy beds, cool air conditioning, and hot shower unit that we had even that much better. You will love your stay at the Surf Shanty and you will remember Andre! Thank you Andre! Enjoy : )

There are so many seating options in the lobby that look as though they came out of a beach resort magazine. The hotel posts a daily board of local restaurant specials, and the hotel itself offers plenty of great extras, like wine and cheese every day from 5:00-6:00, and cookies and milk every evening at 8:00 in the lobby. Complimentary lobby coffee is available 24/7, so there are no coffee makers in the rooms. There's also a big game room with dozens of board games. They have an indoor pool and sauna, and an outdoor hot tub. Our hotel room was quite large, with a huge flatscreen TV, a work desk, a king-sized bed, a sofa, and a coffee table. The in-room Wi-Fi and the satellite TV worked great. The bath was on the smaller size, but it looked brand new. The shower had plenty of hot water and the only nitpick was maybe the pressure from the rainfall style shower head could have been a teense more forceful. We had a nice private balcony overlooking the street and their street level firepit and seating area. The overall location is great, just a very short walk to the boardwalk and beach and within hundreds of stores and restaurants. The daily breakfast was stellar -a bounty of pre-made omelets, Sausages, Baked pears, Cereals, Oatmeal (with mix- ins like nuts, chocolate, granola, seeds, coconut), Pastries, whole and cut fruit, yogurt, cottage cheese, hash browns, and ham slices. Our off-season rate was a little over $100 a night, quite a good deal for the hotel's luxury and services. Guest service was excellent at every encounter we had.

Amazing getaway for couples and singles especially on the off season! We went the weekend before…read moreThanksgiving and had the best time. The hot tub isn't big but it's fine for a few people and great to have right next to the spa. The parking is free on the off season and once you're in, you can easily walk a few blocks to the beach or all around town. I hear they have a shuttle but we never needed them. The room is very big and we enjoyed the small balcony just as a feature. On a warm day you want to just enjoy snacks and a breeze I can imagine it is wonderful. We enjoyed the fireplace. The bathroom lights were a bit complicated but the tub was enormous and luxurious for a soak! The coffee nook with fridge was perfectly outfitted and great for storage. The room lights were a bit flickery but not a major issue. Paying for the higher adults only floor was WORTH IT! They keep the snacks area ready with basic chips and cookies and the cooler with sodas and water and refresh it all the time. The sitting room with its own fireplace is super cozy and you can play a card game or build legos being away from any hecticness. Plus afternoon cookies, tea, coffee, and hot chocolate were not to be missed! Those were great to take as a dessert after dinner or relaxing in the room. I bet in the warmer months the outside terrace is great to enjoy for reading. The bar service was good, whether you wanted drinks or meals things came out decently in good time and well done. I think the prices are very reasonable. The area has so many great options but if you just want to stay in you'll be fine! The breakfast experience was fine- the omelet stations were good but really did take a long time. Maybe just a lack of experience. Good selection of everything and while the bakery station had a variety of scones and muffins, they weren't always fresh tasting and the fruit wasn't much a variety. They will sometimes fill up and you'll have to sit in the cold conference room rather than the cozy vestibule. So go early if you want all the best options and won't be rushed. I can imagine this place is always busy but in the off season months I absolutely recommend this to any couple or single who wants to get away- shops are still open, restaurants still active, and the beach is still refreshing!

Shuttle to get guests to the beach or other locations Cute lounges and patio Meh: Rooms are pretty underwhelming in design & decor (furniture looked pretty worn, dark carpet--shudder--and Motel 6 vibes in the bathroom). No towel bars in the bathroom. Poor water pressure. Walls are thin, so we could hear people in the next room and in the hall. Tiny pool that seemed murky (?) and had sand in it. Hot-tub looked like a good place to get electrocuted (it was taped together in places, missing covers on parts. Maybe it's perfectly safe, but gave me pause. There is only one elevator, so I'd advise taking the stairs, as it can be a wait. There is a $15.00 charge to park per day (which is cheap, I think), but I missed that when booking, so was a little surprised on checking out. Maybe remind guests of the fee on check-in? Also, while we had our own chairs, so we didn't need it, the Bellmoor charges to rent beach chairs. I can see taking a deposit, but charging just seems cheap. On the flip side, I have yet to find a really nice hotel in Rehobeth, so this might be as good as it gets.

Go smoke around back, not on the benches for guests by the pool. No concern for families w children. The interior is decent semiclean. But there's no daily cleaning service. They hide behind the dated guise of covid, when in reality they're just too lazy to pay someone to clean the rooms everyday. If you need toilet paper or towels you have to go to the lobby to ask for it. It's basically self service. Choose your own adventure. That's fine, but they shouldn't charge 300+ a night for a filthy exterior and self service every day needs. I've been here for three years but I'm throwing in the towel after I go get it from the front desk. It's ridiculous. Honestly it's so filthy on the exterior it's like you have to try hard to make it that dirty. I hate to make this review but maybe it will make Management wake up. Power wash & paint job! Problem solved! It makes no sense you don't take care of the place
