    My friend and I came up to Bethany for a quick weekend trip! This was a nice hotel which was about a 10 min walk to the beach. You have to walk past the Sea Colony complex. There are restaurants, a liquor store and Dunkin right close by. Walking into downtown Bethany is about a 1/2 mile from hotel. We got a king size bed which was comfy. The room also came with a sofa as well as a little kitchenette--sink, microwave and small fridge. The TV is cast ready which was really handy! We ordered from the menu for room service and got some snow crab legs which were delivered up to the room promptly. They provided a continental breakfast which had the basics. Tea and coffee were served throughout the day. Sometimes you get a cookie! They had peanut butter while we were there! FYI: Parking is $25 per night which is added to your bill. FYI 2: There is a pool next to the hotel. Hotel is kid and dog friendly :)

    Pet accommodating. Staff was amazing, rooms were clean. Just a few steps and ur at the beach! Definitely the best hotel I've been too in md/Delaware! Thank you!

    Very dusty side table

    Apparently it is not common practice to clean, refresh or top off amenities at this hotel between guests. When we arrived to our room, well after the check in time, there was an empty hand soap dispenser in the bathroom, a quarter of a roll of toilet paper, an unvaccumed room and very dusty tables. We also had to pay an extra $10 for a parking pass! I did appreciate the drinks in the fridge that were included in our room fee (2 canned orange crushes that could be exchanged for water) and the peanut butter cookies in the lobby. The lobby itself was very clean and there was water and coffee available at all hours. When we requested extra toilet paper from the attendant she brought us 2 rolls and a bar of soap.

    Our 1st time at this place, it was kind of nervous at 1st because all of negative reviews. But i gave this place a shot and I'm glad i did! This place is clean and cozy. Staffs are friendly and funny. I had a fun time during my stay with my kids. They offer breakfast, voucher for an umbrella and 2 chairs everyday, 2 free cocktail drink in refrigerator in our room. Beach is clean and quite, it's less than 10 minutes walk. Cvs, walgreen, seafood restaurant are near by. So convenient! We will definitely come back!

    Queen size beds with loveseat

    It's like only 1 of 3 hotels in Bethany Beach. The rooms are quite large with two queen beds, small loveseat sofa, smaller tv with 69 channels (no HBO), microwave and refrig with small freezer. Beds were fine and room overall was clean (keep r shoes on though!)Bathroom was larger then most. Has a six plug outlet by table thankfully, as there aren't many wall power outlets. Wifi had good speed. There is a wall safe inside the closet. Housekeeping was nonexistent due to Covid. They are doing their best for breakfast (don't know why they haven't reopened their breakfast room yet; don't know if Delaware lifted buffet ban; Maryland did). Comprises of frozen Jimmy dean breakfast sandwiches, very sugary yogurt, pasties, and cereal that you pick and choose from and they will put it in a to go bag. The pool was nice and refreshing after spending time at the beach. The beach is about a 5-10 min walk. Wish people rinse their sand off first before going in the pool. Front desk provides pool towels. There is a Walgreens and Mickeys Crab restaurant (must dine here for blue crabs). A very short walk to CVS and Bethany Boathouse (it's an okay place) and couple more minutes walk to Dunkin Donuts. Across the street is Cottage Cafe and Fins Seafood, if you don't want to do to 20 minute walk to Garfield and Bethany Beach boardwalk.

    If you're used to going to Holiday Inn then you would already know that this is just your very basic place where you get a room it's got the same features as any other place: a bed, TV, mini fridge, mini sink and that pretty much sums up the room....unless you opt for the larger ($$$) rooms. We stayed in June in the $350 a night ballpark. Rooms have thin walls so that really annoying family of 4??? Yea, you'll hear them. You know the dad yelling at the kids and the kids are carrying on like well, kids, duh. Yeah. So just be aware of the thin walls. They/we all can hear....even my husband and his obnoxious snoring. Oh well. The hotel itself is fairly small and it is directly behind the Sea colony (huge $$$$ resort) so there's no view of the ocean but it is within walking distance of the beach, Walgreens and a divey crab bar. They were no balconies and parking was an extra $25. There is a shuttle that you can use to go to the beach. It's within driving distance to the downtown area but I would prefer this over being close to downtown area since it is so busy. The pool was pretty low-key ---- it really depends on who is hanging out there, we had no issues though. The pool itself is small so chances are you'll have someone swimming by or walking where you're lounging. There were about 25 long round seats and about seven tables with umbrellas. it's actually pretty surprising how many seats they had considering how small the pool was. A small gym & conference room are also on site.

    King Accessible Room

    My husband and I are Delaware Beach locals who took a night away for our anniversary. We chose Hotel Bethany due to its location and other reviews. We had an off-season stay (early November 2022), king accessible room. Over all we were very satisfied with the hotel, staff, and price. Good points: location, cleanliness, size of rooms, staff, breakfast, and overall welcoming feel of the hotel. When we arrived, the front desk checked us in quickly thanks to me doing the mobile sign in earlier in the day. There were cookies and drinks available by the front desk. Lobby was clean and welcoming. Our room was spacious, very clean, and well appointed! Complimentary adult beverage in the fridge. TV was a large smart tv so we were able to use our favorite streaming services. Bed had SIX pillows (unheard of in a hotel usually!) and was a soft mattress. Quiet floor and kick butt A/C (80 degrees in November!). Breakfast was hot with eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy, along with muffins, bagels, yogurts and cereal. Nice large cafeteria style room to eat in. Staff was out several times to check on the food and was available if needed. Check out was easy and quick! Not so good things: bed and shower Our personal preference is a firm mattress and I know that's not for everybody but we did not sleep well because the mattress was too soft (we're old and our backs are grumpy) so we tossed and turned a lot. Not the fault of the hotel at all. Just our personal issue. If you like soft mattresses then you'll be in heaven! The shower is the one thing I would advise the hotel to correct. There were no non-slip mats in the shower, so I slipped quite a bit and almost went down twice (I'm a large woman and not graceful in the least!). Highly recommend the hotel put something in those tubs before you have someone hurt themselves!! So overall I highly recommend a stay here! It's close to the beach, the boardwalk, and the best, tax free outlet shopping!!!

Check in was easy and efficient and our room was in the adjoining house with a large great-room that was stunning available to everyone staying there with a fireplace, large kitchen, sitting area and dining table. I loved that their sign said to please vacate by 9pm bc our room was on the third floor directly across the hall from it and right beside the community half-bath servicing it and the room had no soundproofing at all. You could hear even minimal talking from that great room (and it doesn't have a door). That is my only complaint about this Inn. The provided breakfast daily was wonderful. The first day we had quiche and the second we had chocolate chip pancakes. All made fresh when you sit down and included sides, coffee, fruit, and yogurt. Really delicious and good quality and the staff were so nice. My husband is diabetic and they easily modified the options to meet his lower carb/sugar request. They also have daily evening tea with a sweet treat which is fun and coffee, tea, and lemon water are available all day and night. Our room was beautiful and looked exactly like the photos and the inn is so charming. Perfect landscaping, all common areas are so cute, and the location is to die for right on the beach, with access to the sand just steps from the lovely wrap-around porch. We were unlucky and it was basically a freezing Nor'easter the weekend we came, so we didn't get to enjoy the beach, the bikes, or any of the out door amenities - but we still found it charming and enjoyed both the Inn and the town.

Amenities are great at no extra cost - I took advantage of their bikes and yoga mat! I love that they invite you to stay after check-out to continue to enjoy the property. And watching the sunrise over the water was the icing on the cake. Normally, their rates would be beyond my budget, but with the WinterEscape promotion of 20% off, it was very reasonable. I will definitely be back!

The Bethany beach ocean suites (owned by Marriott) are located in the heart of Bethany beach with views of the water. It is a decent place to stay for a few days with a great location. However, the cost of over $600/night is absolutely absurd given the dismal service, lack of cleanliness and general lack of anything resembling luxury. We called before we came and were told the pool was closed. However they noted beach towels were available and beach chairs and umbrellas would be available daily starting at 8am. When we arrived we found no beach towels were available (except for purchase). We clearly own beach towels and would have brought them had we not been misinformed. We were also told upon arrival that the beach chairs aren't available until 10 AM. However I decided to ask the actual chair and umbrella employees who informed me that the start time was actually 9 AM. The front desk didn't seem to care (or note) that they were repeatedly given out false information. With young kids, that hour makes a difference. The lobby bathrooms were poorly maintained (trash on the floors, dirty toilet seats, and no toilet paper to be seen). The breakfast had a vast variety of foods but they were rarely restocked so you weren't able to actually enjoy many of them. Coffee ran out multiple times. Also flies ruled the school at the buffet. The floors were sticky and it is very clear that the hotel is understaffed (oh, and the staff talk to you about it...incessantly) Covid has changed the game for many businesses but unfortunately the Marriott is nowhere near what is should be.
