    What an awesome little place this is.! Wow.! We are coming from Vegas (which most people would think OMG that's awesome, but no! It's not! Only because Vegas pushes people around so much just to get to the next person). We arrived at this amazing place to be greeted by an awesome guy who took the time to get to know us, tell us all about the sights around the INN and pretty much gave us a play by play about what's in the room! He made it a very pleasant arrival. Once we got to the room we saw that it's super nice, the bed is very comfy, they have an awesome growler for you! A fridge and microwave. I mean they have everything you need. We were VERY pleased with the dogfish inn room AND staff.! Only thing that would have made this over the top is if Mr. Calagione was here himself.! Love the beer, love the inn. What an amazing birthday experience this is for me.!

    There is nothing more adorable than this inn. Without the tony cost, too! It's a perfect mix of DFH meets camping and fishing. You begin by checking into what was likely a white brick barn or shop. It's an a charming space where you will find chicory coffee, water, games, merchandise and a lending library. The library was designed for the Inn by the famous City Lights in San Francisco. The rooms are classic inn style with a big picture window that is outfitted with stools and a ledge. The beds are very comfortable perched on platforms. Don't miss the DFH items from the beer soap to the beer buckets to the little growler you may take on the house with you! They offer beach chairs and a beach bag to use while here. There is a perfect, not over priced, small minor bar. It does not include beer. However, R&L liquors is a five minute walk away. They are open until 10. They have all the DFH items at the same price as the brewery! You can bring back you finds and put them in your mini fridge. Beach towels are also not in your room - bring your own. It's rustic quaint. The bathroom has a modern, big shower though. With fluffy big towels. Perfect for freaking up after using the free bikes or before enjoying the evening fire. The restaurant next door delivers until 9pm. If you love DFH as much as my family, then speed down or up 95 immediately! It's a special place. The staff will make you feel like a million bucks. You will remember it always.

    Loved this place. From the first time I phoned to our entire time there. Everyone went out of their way to make us feel welcome and comfortable. The location was great being walking distance to a lot of restaurants and shopping. I will definitely be coming back back and can't wait to return.

    The stay was fun but the rooms are very thin between floors and didn't sleep well due to noise. The air unit is strange and it's hard to get the room to a decent temperate. The Lewes area is really nice and my favorite part on the Inn, great location. Loved the atmosphere of the in and coffee! The room was clean and really cool.

    I was a bit taken back when we pulled up. ( Old style Motel). Not a lot of space to walk your dog, they do have grassy areas. The bed in our room was incredibly fabulous! I think the bathroom area wasn't though out well. The employees were great. The only reason I wouldn't go back was it was more like "Glamping". That's just not our preference.

    Unique place to stay in Lewes. Pros: - beer themed everything, including beer soap - tasty infused water and cold brew coffee available in the lobby - beach chairs available to use for free - friendly staff - free parking and they also give a free growler - the inn is only a ten minute walk to the beach Cons: - not a full bathroom to change in - no coffee in the room - cost more to stay than I would have thought

    Fantastic get away weekend at the Dogfish Inn. Perfect location to walk around town and down to the beach. So many amenities on site and they even have a shuttle to the brewery so you don't have to worry about driving.

    The Inn experience was everything I expected to be but was greater experiencing it in person. From the day of looking forward to your checkin text, to the details and finesse of everything. We stayed in room number lucky 7. Bottom floor, end spot facing the main road. Man, those are some good windows bc we could not hear anything. We slept like champions. Maybe it was the snuggling with the Woolrich for Dogfish blanket. Whatever you thought you would need for a getaway in the coastal Delaware town of Lewes, the Inn has gotten you covered. Beach cruiser - check Beach chairs for two - check Cooler for your brewskies - check Super swanky Apolis bag - check The details in the room from the old fashion key chains with actual keys, to the treasure map, to the welcome growler for you to take and fill, to the beer soap, and toiletry products, to the magnetic light by the bedside, everything was so well thought out. The Inn grounds itself is small, but not limited to different places to lounge around. Inside is cozy with a captains lounge kind of vibe. Outside the cauldron fire pit is awesome, with benches around it with life jackets attached to the back for cushioning. They have every yard game you can think of. Outside showed available to rinse off your beach sand. Morning coffee starts brewing at 7am for the early risers and I swear tastes like unicorn tears bc you get to drink it out of their personal Dogfish Inn camper mugs. But the kicker, the Inn is dog friendly. Yup, mans best friend can join Ya. I absolutely love my Inn experience and will be regular visitors for our weekend getaways.

    Wow, what an awesome place to stay! This little gem is stylish, convenient and a perfect compliment to our Dogfish Head experience. We did the brewery tour, both restaurants and this place in 3 days and it was so cool. The culture and the experience run consistent all the way through this brand. I enjoyed chatting with both the manager of the inn, Andrew as well as our lobby host Jean. Hats off to you Dogfish you've got some great peeps working for you!

    Pricey but a super cute place to stay with your pup. The rooms are renovated and smell delightfully like eucalyptus. The room came equipped with hardwood floors, comfy beds, a dohm elite sound machine, a fridge stocked with Dogfish Head beer, and beach chairs to use. In the lobby there's free coffee, fruit infused water, and s'mores ingredients to use at the fire pit. There is also a shower/ dog washing station and free bike rental. The entire team there is friendly and accommodating. The Inn is walking distance to many restaurants and shops and only a short drive to the public beach and Cape Henlopen (where the dog friendly beaches are located). Slight negative is we were on the first floor and could hear our upstairs neighbors moving around. Overall enjoyed my stay here and would consider returning for another dog friendly vacation!

    I have been looking for an excuse to stay here since they opened in July. My excuse came this week in the form of condo hunting in Lewes. I checked in for one night during the "off season" and the Inn (ideally situated across from Second Street, where most of this beautiful town's shops and restaurants are located) and town were definitely sleepy- JUST what I was looking for. The Inn itself is a gutted out, completely renovated rehab of a fleabag motel that stood there for years. Every aspect of the design was thoughtfully executed. When I checked in, there was a cozy fire lit (and a long wooden table filled with visiting micro brewers playing cards)and a friendly, but not overwhelmingly gracious receptionist who quickly checked me in, gave me some quick hits about Dogfish Head and Lewes and handed me a key to my room (not a card entry key, but an actual key- how old school :-) Then there was the room. Just simple, stream lined comfort. Big plush bed with down comforter and a Woolrich wool throw on the top. Sparse, but tactical furniture. Lots of clean lines and extra special touches such as soap made at the Dogfish brewery and Malin + Goetz bath products (another side note: the room smelled great...very woodsy/oak smell...nice). Beautiful bathroom with a sleek shower with excellent water pressure, too. I was beat from my travels, and the comfortable bed and the stillness of the inn and town all ensured a sound nights sleep. The next morning, at check out, there was a most excellent chicory stout coffee, out for guests. The staff was genuinely friendly and we chatted about the growth of Dogfish Head and the fact that they did not want the Inn to be perceived as a "party hotel". In fact, beer is not sold in rooms and their mission is to tell guests about where brews are being offered around the beaches to promote local businesses. Great ethos. This is a unique and fantastic place to stay at the DE beaches. A higher end, but not stuffy inn that I will definitely return to and would highly recommend to anyone heading that way.

    We absolutely loved our stay here, perhaps me more than my wife. Over Thanksgiving weekend the peaceful little town of Lewes was a delight with the Dogfish Inn at the heart. It was like coming back home to a home you never knew. Every little detail in the room was accounted for with the rustic, minimalist design. We enjoyed the use of the comfortable bed, IPA glasses for pouring beer, and even the radio with its auxiliary wire made it easy to listen to some Black Keys while sipping Punkin Ale. The bathroom was beautifully made with an oversized sink, open space tiled shower, stocked with beer soap, rum body wash & cilantro shampoo. I don't know if I was bathing or cooking, but with the steam in the room it could have gone either way. The cottage was warmed by a wood burning fireplace and several kind inn keepers throughout our stay. They were warm, friendly and very helpful. My first morning there I met Andrew and Anthony who told me the stories of how the chicory stout coffee was made (brought home 2 ponds to enjoy at home), where the juniper was harvested that made the room and the cottage smell so good. They told me that anyone staying there can make a reservation at the brewpub or brewery as special guests, so of course I had to take them up on the offer. My only disappointment was that I had to leave, and missed the fireside chat with Sam that happened at the outdoor fire-pit right next to the cottage. Perhaps when I come back! Whether you are looking for a warm place to stay in the winter, a great beach inn or want to take in all the treasures on the treasure map in the slower lower, this is the place to be. It's like coming home to a family you've been waiting to meet for the first time!

I got there around 3:30 PM and there was no one there to help us check in. However, on the way I was told everything I needed to know to get in through the main door and into the room. There is a small private lot to park in plus the street is free for parking next to the building. I do not know if that becomes an issue in peak season but at least it wasn't a worry for now. The common area is super nice. It feels like being home. There was white and red wine out and soft drinks in the common fridge as well. The room itself was surprisingly large and comfortable. Everything was in place for a great stay - ample towels in the bathroom, instructions for everything including where to place used glasses and so on. Waking up breakfast was being made for any guests that wanted it. Banana pancakes with bacon and some grapefruit. It was nice to smell those smells before coming down to experience it! The only frustrating part was the initial booking. Since the single night could not be reserved online I needed to call. I was never able to call and get a person immediately. I always needed to leave a voicemail and wait for them to get back to me. Though I cannot say it was a big deal, it still does make for a bit of a hitch if you are trying to make last minute plans.

Do not delay and deny the problem and hope guests will just go away after being bitten at your hotel. As a longtime Hilton Honors member (nearly 20 years, including Diamond status), this was one of the most disappointing hotel experiences I've ever had. I stayed at Home2 Suites Lewes/Rehoboth Beach in January 2026. Before arrival, I received calls asking if I would be willing to switch from the room I originally reserved to a different room. I agreed, trying to be accommodating. Unfortunately, during the stay, I experienced what appeared to be bed bug bites and the situation quickly became distressing. What made the experience even more concerning was later learning that the same room had documented bed bug treatment activity shortly before my stay. I reported the issue immediately. Instead of transparency, accountability, or meaningful customer care, the response became focused on denial and damage control. The hotel and insurance representatives relied heavily on internal reports stating no live activity was found AFTER my complaint, while overlooking the fact that the room had already required prior treatment. To this day, the most frustrating part is not just the incident itself -- it's how it was handled afterward. I understand hotels can occasionally face pest issues. What matters is how they respond when guests raise legitimate concerns. In this case, I left feeling dismissed rather than supported. I would strongly encourage future guests to thoroughly inspect their rooms and to document everything immediately if concerns arise.

    I was in town due to a family emergency. I didn't have a reservation for a place to stay and was…read morescouting around for lodging. Convenient location in the heart of Lewes. It's across the canal from downtown Lewes and a few blocks away from the Lewes public beach. I was there before Memorial Day weekend. Their busy season had not started, yet. Staff was scarce and typically only available during the day. There wasn't anyone staffing the front desk in the evenings or throughout the night. What was surprising is that the hotel had me pay for my entire stay upfront, and not just registering me with my AMEX card. I was a bit surprised that they required that. I don't think I have had a hotel / motel require full payment upfront. I don't know if this is their usual practice. Room price was competitive for a touristy beach location. For amenities, the have an outdoor pool and lounging deck located on the second floor. Otherwise, fairly basic hotel. They did not offer a continental breakfast, but did have fresh coffee in the lobby in the morning. There weren't coffee makers in the rooms. Hotel has an inviting beach decor, but is dated. In fact, they were replacing carpets in the lobby when I was there. I was a bit surprised when I came down in the morning and found lobby area closed off. The installers did not appreciate that I walked through, but they also didn't leave me much choice. Staff were friendly when I crossed paths with them. Housekeeping only entered and cleaned my room once through the week. I was okay with that, as I didn't need much for the week. I did have to ask for additional soap and shampoo and they graciously provided it. My room was comfortable and clean. The wall air conditioning unit was quite noisy. I wouldn't be opposed to staying here, if back in the area in the future. Just a basic hotel, located near most of what Lewes offers and a reasonable price.

    Very pleasant and super convenient. Nice pool, kind and friendly staff. Easy parking. Nice little…read moreterraces. Rooms are fine. Soft towels. Wish the bedding was a little more updated. Other than that would totally stay here again!
