Summer Place Hotel

I will say it's close to the beach, but it was absolutely the most disgusting hotel I've ever stayed in. For the cheap price, I wasn't expecting a fancy room or even anything too nice, but I did expect a clean room. The comforter was stained and dirty looking. We turned it down to find long hairs in on the sheets. They were also in the shower. The mattress was old, noisy and you could feel the springs poking through. The hallway was cluttered and messy. The key was waiting at the front desk, so there was no one to complain to. When we checked out in the morning, a shirtless guy came out of the back. He told us we should have told him the night before about our complaints, but there was no one to be found. Best of all, after we left, the hotel tried to charge my husband's card a second time. Horrible place to stay, a total nightmare.

⚠️ Warning: Do NOT book a stay here. It is not worth your safety or comfort to save a few extra bucks.

We made a last-minute decision to stay overnight in Rehoboth Beach instead of driving home, and this place seemed like a quick, affordable option. Big mistake.

First red flag: the listing clearly stated checkout at 11 a.m., but when we arrived, we were told checkout was at 10 a.m. because the owner “has things to do.” Extremely unprofessional.

Second, you actually have to pay an additional $7 if you want to take a hot bath/shower. That alone is absurd.

The conditions were terrible:
• Water leaking onto the floor from the fridge.
• Filthy floors that clearly hadn’t been cleaned.
• Cracks and mold throughout the room.
• Overall unsafe atmosphere — there were sketchy characters hanging around, making it feel more like a halfway house than a hotel.

The whole environment felt unsafe and very sketchy. Please save yourself the stress and avoid this place altogether. Spend the extra money on a reputable hotel—it’s worth it for your safety, cleanliness, and peace of mind.

Checked out before the end of my stay because I could not stay here and risk my family’s safety for the sake getting a good deal on a room. This place was giving more of a HALFWAY HOUSE than a hotel and Expedia and hotels.com should be ashamed to even have this place listed as a “hotel”.

I had to step over a vagrant/ passed out lady in front of the late check-in box to get my hotel key and it was only 8 pm. When we got In the room there was a dirty mop bucket and mop left on the floor , bed was made but sheets were dirty and sandy. THE AUDACITY to tuck in a dirty comforter over dirty sheets is so disturbing to me. I stayed here once before on season and it mostly young couples or singles needing a cheap room, but off season it was drug users splitting a room with 3 others and partying until like 6 am. The vagrant lady I had to step over to get my hotel keys was later trying to break into other people’s rooms at all hours of the night and was insanely drunk. I heard her falling down in the hallway in front of my door at 5 am and then some men collecting her at like 520? All of this happening while I have my toddler on the other side of the wall . Anyway it’s all on the security camera positioned directly above my door but the owner isn’t addressing my safety concerns or request for a refund. This place should not be called a hotel because there is no hospitality or service usually associated with a hotel involved. it is a step up from a campsite, or homeless shelter. I my family’s safety is a priority to me and I will not stay anywhere that compromises that in any way. If you love your family do not let them stay here, spend 20 dollars more per night and have a safer and more enjoyable stay in Dewey beach down the road.
