Front desk staff was so nice. Not a fancy property, no elevators, old school vending machines that require cash, but everything is clean, the pool is cute, the beach is right across the street and it was perfect for a quick stay!

A/c did not work first night but staff made it right when reported. They installed a complete new unit in short time. Recommen a room on the back side. Front side facing the street is subject to motocycle racing and cars the tv in the room was not programmable and toilets were small. A bigger person would suffer

Perfect location in between Ocean City, MD and Bethany Beach, DE. Quiet at night. We had a nice view of the bay. Karen at the front desk is absolutely lovely! Hotel is only open six months in the year - during summer season. It is only two floors with no elevator.

I was told when I booked the room, even though I chose the room the computer can change it, I paid for a king deluxe Canal view. I got a queen Street view, I was told while I was yelled at that. There is nothing I can do. They will not give me a discount when staff is comfortable enough to yell those things at you in front of other guest that says the company is comfortable with that treatment from the staff,as long as they make their money, if you read reviews the negative reviews mainly State the same problem you book that room with the canal and they’re put you in another claiming it’s the same price, of a street view room. It is a deceptive practice that apparently they’ve been getting away with for years, any place you stay you pay more for a water beach or sea view.as a business owner, I would never let any of my employees yell at someone who chooses to spend their money in or on or at, Whatever I’m associated with. I will confront the issue myself if need be my second night my bed was replaced with a king bed.but being treated so disrespectful by staff in front of other guest, it’s just not a place that I would recommend for any of my organisations or associates to stay when they visit Fenwick Island

Convenient and affordable

The staff was friendly and the check-in seamless. The room was clean and we liked the wooden floor. There was no room service but they said if we needed anything to just come at the front desk. One of the two beds was uncomfortable as it was too soft. The other one was fine. The bathtub needed some extra scrubbing. The location was 15 minutes away from Bethany Beach boardwalk. All in all we had a nice stay.
