Second time I have stayed in Lewes and the first time here. Coming off season, it was nice to be…read moreable to book a room for a single night - in this case a Sunday night. 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.

The room was always serviced when we returned in the afternoon. The breakfasts were so good and the chef, Marie, is delightful. The wine and snacks in the afternoon were a pleasant way to start the evening. Bottled water, sodas and chips, etc., were always available and complimentary. The inn is walking distance to some great restaurants. We've stayed in a lot of places in the area and this was the best by far.

This faded quickly at the entry level with a strong smell of wet dog, followed by no cooling on the interior. The pictures on the internet are dated and things are cluttered now. The room I booked was not the room held, but since it was a weekday I could have my pick of the 3 front rooms, none of them the one I booked (?). The room was clean and there was AC that, when turned On, over time cooled the room down. During the night I was awakened by the heat and found the AC was not cycling On unless the ceiling fan was On (?). There are plentiful sugary and baked goods snacks and soda in the breakfast room for anytime. The fresh fruit though was over or under ripe. The morning coffee was not hot. Breakfast did happen and I was able to enjoy a wide selection of melon and berries with yogurt that was put out buffet style. The eggs requested, came pretty much as desired. The first morning I found out the free bike option was no longer available. I must have read about bikes in the reviews but now find they are no longer available in the fine print of the booking. My pleasure in staying here always fell short. I would have enjoyed a cookie cutter motel as much. I suppose I wanted the accommodation to be as attentive as the decor pictured. Then, as mentioned, the pictures are from some time in the past.

We checked in later than expected and the staff was accommodating to our needs and helpful all around. The clubhouse presents ample seating to relax, coffee, and wall of swag from which to purchase. Nearby, there's an outdoor fitepit/seating area, which is great for socializing, sipping a beverage, and hearing some tunes (someone had a guitar). The room is spacious and thoughtfully curated with Dogfish items. Some are for use, others are to keep or purchase. We received a complimentary glass growler and beer soap. The room also has a fridge, TV, noise machine, and a small couch. If we stayed here longer than a night, the Inn gives guests free access to coolers, beach chairs, bikes, and much more. Awesome spot. Highly recommend!

We did a weekend here and loved being able to get a ride to and from the brewery from the inn, which is fantastic. Our room was clean and the bed was super comfortable. The bathroom was also very spacious and the beer soap is amazing (we definitely bought some to bring home). The cold brew coffee was also amazing and we learned how to make cold brew from Chris (a great guy, hope he's still there!). The fire pit outside was also great and this is such a great place to stay and chill for a while. If you're planning on visiting Lewes or just Dogfish Head in general, do yourself a favor and stay here!

Delicious coffee! Staff could not have been nicer. Close to shops and restaurants; can't emphasize enough the great location. We had a short stay but look forward to our return. Absolutely and enthusiastically recommend Hotel Blue.

Reservations can be made online or through directly calling. When I had a little confusion online with the dates I wanted and the room type of room, I called their reservation desk. They made it quite easy and work for me. Price is competitive, especially when compared to similar area waterfront hotels. The Inn is located in downtown Lewes along the canal with wonderful views. Easy walking distance to Lewes downtown restaurants, shops and historic sites. The Lewes beach is just under a mile from the hotel location. Outlet malls, Cape Henlopen State Park, Cape May - Lewes Ferry Terminal and Rehoboth Beach are all an easy drive. The location is ideal. My room was quite comfortable. Had all I could need with an amazing balcony and view of the canal. Someone had cranked the temperature low on the refrigerator. So, it froze items I had placed in it. Housekeeping was respectful of my privacy and diligent about servicing my room when I wanted it. Towels were soft. Bed was very comfortable. Wi-fi was fast. Room and outlaying areas were clean. The Inn offers a small fitness center with the basic equipment useful in doing strength as well as cardio exercise. A breakfast bar is included with your stay. It had a variety of fresh fruit, a couple yogurt flavors, a couple cereals and hard boiled eggs. There were pitchers of different juices, coffee thermoses, a selection of teas available. Breakfast breads and toast varied daily. Much of the breads were store bought type breads. It's a nice spread, but after a few days, I wanted something more. There are several local restaurants conveniently nearby serving breakfast menus that I also enjoyed.

The beds were very comfortable. In the morning breakfast came with the room. It was yummy and easy to enjoy with the other guests in the dining area. If you are in a hurry, grab your breakfast and keep going. The location is spectacular because it's at the Marina. The town of Lewes is quaint and historic. The only negative is don't try to go out to eat without a reservation. Sitting is limited and restaurants fill up early. All and all, we loved the hotel, clean, spacious, comfy beds, and warm hospitality. Highly recommend the Inn at the Canal.

Hear me out with this review:…read more I have never stayed in a Bed & Breakfast house before and when I was initially trying to book somewhere to stay in Rehoboth Beach this was the first place suggested. The house contains rooms with private bathrooms and rooms on a floor with shared bathrooms. I was very hesitant to book at first when I read that I would have to "share" a bathroom. We just returned home after a 4 night stay here and we were more than satisfied! Tom, the house owner, is super kind, personable and hospitable. His other workers (Rayvn and Chris) are also so helpful and always get you what you need. You can request to have breakfast in the morning from a menu selection and they bring you your food out at the time you request to have it ready for you . Tom always came and checked up on us wherever we were sitting during breakfast to chat about random things, show us his puppy and ask us if we wanted more food or needed anything. The room we stayed in had a shared bathroom in the hallway (we stayed on the 2nd floor and other rooms shared 2 full baths and a half bath with us) and it was actually very clean. The staff did a good job replenishing towels each day and cleaning the shower/toilet/sink. Felt very comfortable here. We would love to try a room with a private bathroom (it was so booked up when we tried to get one initially so book way in advance!) I love that the beach was only a 4 minute walk and access to the main streets was only an alley walk away from the house. No complaints at all after this stay. When we sat out on the porch each morning and night, many people would walk by making comments about how pretty and interesting the establishment was. The interior of the house smells super good and is clean. Highly recommend staying here! Overall 5/5 stars and we will definitely be back next year
