Far from fancy, but room rate was fair.

Price/accommodation ratio was fair. All bare essentials provided. Very slight smell of smoking. Though in a parking lot off of the highway, it is a convenient location.

The Inn was cozy, quaint and clean. two rooms for added privacy. Unfortunately, we forgot to leave a tip for the cleaning staff. I'm so sorry. I'll donate some money for your staff. Apologies. Very pleasant stay.

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.

Weekend stay

This was not an expensive rental so I didn't expect much. The bathroom was very clean and towels were really nice. The couch in the living room was dirty and very uncomfortable and the carpet was old and worn out. The kitchen area was not bad with a full size coffee maker, refrigerator, microwave and nice dishes.

It needs renovations. It was filthy the lampshades were covered in dust, no one comes to see if you need linens. The closet door was broken. Both Televisions did not work. There was a couch at the dumpster for 2 weeks outside my door. I will say the bathroom was clean & the towels were nice.

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!

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.

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.

Don’t reserve!! I took some photos.

it was closed, « temporarily ». i asked Hotels.com to return my $178.82, which they agreed to do, after confirming that the place was closed. I am not blaming Hotels.com-they obviously didn’t know. i saw online that they are still « renting » rooms for this weekend at $383. Air conditioner falling out, mats ripped, curtains hanging, closed up.
The photos speak for themselves.
Not a car in sight. Office said « CLOSED »
