Wyndham Garden Dover

8/10 Good

"Everything was great an i plan on staying again"

MainStay Suites Dover

10/10 Excellent

"Staff"

Bally's Dover Casino Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean, I asked for a walk in shower and that's what I got, water pressure was excellent. Beds are comfortable, the fridge wasn't working properly, it froze every bottle of water and soda we put in there, we even adjusted it just didn't help. We were there 4 nights but only required housekeeping one of those and they did an excellent job. We were on the 3rd floor overlooking the roof, would have preferred a track view but it was very quiet and everything was fine. We will stay again."
