The Inn at Lewes

5 Stars – A Hidden Gem!

I had a fantastic stay here and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for comfort, cleanliness, and great value. From check-in to check-out, the staff was friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The room was spotless, well-maintained, and surprisingly spacious, with all the essentials — a comfy bed, hot shower, strong Wi-Fi, and even a fridge and microwave.

What really stood out was how quiet and peaceful it was, despite being conveniently located near restaurants and major roads. It felt safe, cozy, and well cared for. You can tell the owners put pride into the place.

If you're looking for an affordable stay that doesn’t compromise on quality or service, this is a great pick. I’ll definitely be returning!

DO NOT STAY HERE! I booked this inn due to the availability and price during memorial day weekend. Never again will we stay here! I expected it to be an older Inn, that wasn't an issue. The issue was the cleanliness and unresponsive "front desk." Almost everything was dirty! The floor, walls, counters had dirt, hair and dust. The couch & decorative pillows are stained. The pull out mattress has springs coming out of it. There were no extra sheets, pillows or blankets. They knew there would be four of us! I was told to call the front desk if I needed anything as someone wouldn't be there but would have the phone on them. I called SIX times, still haven't gotten a call back. I ended up cleaning down everything we would touch. We bought an air mattress, extra blankets and pillows. Even bought washcloths since the only set up for two people.
The only good things about this inn was no bed bugs (we checked), clean linen on the bed and clean towels, washcloths. Oh and location.

DO NOT STAY HERE FOR ANYTHING!

Honestly I’ve never had an experience like this one.. my husband and I booked this hotel to stay for a quick overnight with our babies as we were staying with family friends in Bethany beach for a wedding the following couple of days, but did not want to arrive at their house late at night.

All we needed was a decently, clean, basic and safe place to stay- we did not expect a four-star hotel experience by any means! However, I would say this place is lucky to get 2 stars.. Upon arrival, there was a note on the door of the office to call a phone number where we received a pass code to get our keys-easy! Sitting on the stoop of another one of the rooms upon arrival around midnight was a shirtless man drinking and smoking a cigarette with his girlfriend.. felt a little sketchy, but not the end of the world- it was just a place to sleep for us.

I stayed in the car with the kids while my husband unpacked the bags into the room.. he seemed kind of hesitant and slow, but I assumed it was because he was tired after we just had driven 5 hours to get there after we worked all day and asked him to get our one month old son and I would grab our daughter whose under 1.5 years old. I picked her up out of her car seat and carried her inside. As I approached the back of the car, not even getting onto the steps to the unit yet, I could SMELL the room!!! it absolutely reeked like cigarettes and urine!! The room was also much smaller than the photos depicted (we have 2 pack n plays to set up for the kids) so needed floor room. I walked into the room and could not bring myself to put my daughter down on the floor. I have never been to a hotel that I seriously could not stay in, but this one takes the cake. I looked at my husband and said “what should we do?”.. we packed to the car back up immediately in the middle of the night and drove down the road hoping for a hotel with vacancy. We did not touch anything in the room, sit on the bed, couch, etc. and immediately returned the key and left.

My husband wrote the office contact that sent him the key code the following day telling them that we did not stay in or touch the room and all of our concerns. They refused to refund us. Thankfully, we were able to find another hotel to stay in for the night after a few tries/stops with vacancy. But seriously, I cannot imagine staying here by myself, let alone with your children! It felt like a seedy, sticky motel, which is wild for the price they were asking!

We ended up staying down the road at a hotel for less that was definitely in need of updating and a bit rundown but felt safe & clean enough and we enjoyed our stay. Again, we did not need much, but this hotel experience was not worth more than $50 a night!!
