Top Delaware State Museums Hotel Reviews

Residence Inn Marriott Dover

10/10 Excellent

"the front desk staff were very helpful"

Bally's Dover Casino Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in a Classic King Size bed room. It was a very nice size room, basically your standard room but it was extremely spacious. The restaurants and the casino being attached right to the hotel was very convenient because we didn’t have to leave. You do need to scan your room key to open the elevator doors in your floor. That would have been helpful to know, lol. We enjoyed our stay!"
