Given this was a motel without amenities the price was extremely high. Only reason I booked was because there were no rooms available anywhere else. For the price I did expect it to at least be clean.

Don't do it, some of e reviews give it no justice.

Very dirty. Bugs crawling everywhere. Look like bed bugs, but im not an exterminator... which they clearly need. No additional toilet paper. Some lights/lamps didnt work. Room was in a state of disrepair at best. Smelled terrible in the room. Check in process isnt a thing. Called several times day before and day of with no response with voicemails left. Luckily was able to rouse an office person once i arrived. I could go on, but I've already spent too much time and money on a place I'll never return or recommend.

Budget motel

We had almost no issues. This is exactly the title “a budget motel” it’s pretty rundown but they have been making minor improvements. The beds are horrifically uncomfortable though and some towels were stained. The outlets were blown out in the bedroom and chargers would fall out pretty frequently. Staff was very friendly and outgoing. It’s in a very convenient location with a lot within walking distance including a brewery!!! The room was clean with new floors and a new couch. The full size fridge was a great bonus!

This was the most DISGUSTING property I have ever laid eyes, and stepped foot into. I wasn’t expecting the most pristine property with it being an Inn, and the price was cheaper than others. The second we opened the door it’s like we were smacked in the face with a stale moldy smell. We booked a 3 nights stay, and did not stay any longer than 20 mins. FILTH stains covering the mattress, wads of hair in the sheets, crumbs throughout mattress and sheets. Floors were unswept & unmopped, something had been splattered all over the door and just left there. There was a nasty pot holder hanging above the stove with crusted on food and it and was about as stiff as a board. Paw patrol stickers stuck to cabinet peeling off, crumbs/dirt/sand covering the floors - proving it has been uncleaned. Upon complaint to the office a younger girl was present who stated she doesn’t work for the property she just lives in the house. She informed us that younger kids (college age) are in charge of cleaning rooms and operating check in, etc. She had to contact the owner, Yash, who initially had stated that we would be refunded first thing the next morning. Morning rolls around and he refuses refund and starts ignoring any type of contact from us. We booked through Expedia so we had to reach out to them to get a refund - which is still in progress because he will not get in contact with Expedia. Just beware if you’re interested in this property and DON’T BOOK! I have attached just a few photos of the

My friend and I recently stayed at the Inn at Lewis, an Economical motel on the main strip and centrally located to Rehobeth and Lewes. I booked our stay via Expedia. The rates were comparable to similar hotels in the area. The Inn at Lewes is a row of eight bungalow type rooms, perpendicular to route one. I assume each room is identical, offering one bedroom, one bathroom, a small kitchenette, a pullout sofa/sitting area and TV. It is clean, a bit dated, but the room got more comfortable with each day we stayed. The main attraction for this motel is definitely their location, as well as the staff, who were very pleasant and eager to please! We enjoyed our stay at the inn.

For starters it's very dated which I was made aware of by the desk when I checked in so knowing that I tried to look past it however it was very hard to do. The bed ding had numerous yellow and brown stains on it the closet door was broken and literally hanging off the hinge there was a drawer front missing from under the kitchen sink which was very unsightly, there is a huge draft coming in from the air conditioner in the bedroom and the heat in the bedroom did not work, also the television in the bedroom was smaller than my laptop or only about 13 in and the one in the living room was only about 19 so along with the wood paneling on the walls that made it very difficult to enjoy television. There was no door separating the bedroom from the living room which was also a little disappointing. The desk staff was incredibly friendly and helpful or at least try to be as helpful as possible and accommodating I can say that but the accommodations themselves are definitely lacking and in desperate need of remodel and upgrades.

Old yet comfortable unit

The only reason I did not give it a higher rating is because someone in the unit next door was vaping and the disgusting scent was coming through the vents in the bathroom. This is a SMOKE-FREE place. It is an old motel venue with side-by-side apartments, but it's comfortable and pet friendly. Janet, the manager, is fabulous! She communicates clearly and is so friendly. Another drawback was the recent snow and ice. The owners never had someone shovel the parking lot. I keep hearing that they have staff but they do not work weekends. If you work in the hospitality industry, exoect to work weekends! I am an extended stay guest and have been here for a couple months.
