I feel like they can always be cleaner. There was dried urine on the bathroom seat. Thankfully I started taking my own Clorox wipes, so I cleaned the bathroom myself. I also question if the floors are actually swept and mopped.

Atlantic Oceanside Dewey is a great place to stay! Location is everything and Dewey is a very walkable town to begin with, but this hotel is at the corner of the beach block, which is awesome! Staff was incredible especially Kirsten, who helped me with extra towels and housekeeping when needed! Property is very clean and maintained well, however, the bed could definitely use an upgrade as it was not very comfortable, and the sheets didn’t really fit the bed so the fitted sheet kept coming off, and there was no mattress pad under that which was a little disappointing. Other than that, our stay was amazing.!

The location was fantastic. However, the property was not well maintained at all. The floors were disgustingly dirty, there were only two towels for four people upon check in, the toilet paper holder was falling off the wall with a used roll barely holding on, and the shower curtain was moldy. It was truly just a place to sleep.

I’ll start off with the good. Got there around 11 and was able to check in early, and it was a ez and quick walk to the beach. Plus parking was good. Now onto the bad. Soon as we got inside the hotel we instantly seen that the shower was like completely yellow and there was a dead spider in the corner of the bathroom. Me and my girlfriend had a 2 day stay and day 1 was ok, until we came back from the beach on day 2. We were about to get into the shower to go to our late night dinner when i took the towel off the bathroom floor and the biggest spider i’ve ever seen came running out of the towel. This caused us to lose time of getting ready and when we went down to the front desk to tell them, the worker gave us bug spray and dismissed us. We had to shower with the curtain open because we had no idea where the spider went and no we didn’t keep the front door open for it to come in. Who knows how long it was there and since there was a spider in the corner dead i’m assuming there is an issue with spiders. As we went to our dinner I called the front desk and asked could the bathroom of our room be cleaned while we were gone the front desk said it could not be done because it was just them. Understandable. We asked for another room the new room had hair on the bed and left over food in the fridge from the guest before and no soap to wash with either. And the pool was dirty full of left over guest pool noodles couldn’t even get in wouldn’t go back honestly idk who cleans the rooms.

Room was not cleaned at all. I pulled back the covers of the made beds and found dirt, sand, and hair everywhere. The room smelled overwhelmingly of weed, as did the whole hotel. Staff was in no rush to help the many customers who were dissatisfied with their own situation (ranging from lost reservations, to unclean rooms, to very delayed checking times). The rooms were just ok. My first room the mirror was knocked off the wall, the trim had chipping paint, walls were stained, and the TV would not work. There was one ice machine for the resort which looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in a while. The only good thing about this hotel was its proximity to the beach and it had a pool for my kids. I’d never stay here again,

We had a nice large/ clean room. Big Picture window to look out to the happenings on the street and see the sunset from our room.
Downside was I was expecting a main level room. Husband has walking/ seeing issues. Turned it was quieter than the 1st level and roomier.
Loved that we could extend our checkout until 2 PM. It let us relax in the morning and avoid the rush on the Coastal Hwy of folks leaving their rentals at 10 or 11:AM. That is well worth the extra $40 to save time in traffic and less panic in getting out the door in the morning

I will never stay at this hotel again. I booked a four night stay with 3 of my best friends, and they gave us four of the smallest pillows known to man. We had to ask for more. They also only gave us two towels for all four of us, so we had to ask for more of those, too. Out of the four nights we stayed, housekeeping did not come even ONCE. We had to ASK for towels every single night (we are staying on the beach and wanting to shower daily. we did not even ask for hand towels or wash clothes, JUST regular towels.) The hotel staff proceeded to deny us anymore towels for our stay, so we had to sleep in sand covered beds after the beach. The room was dirty and the fire detector/smoke alarm thing was hanging off of the wall. One of the ceiling panels in the shower was like…broken. There is no door to the bathroom, only a sliding piece of wood where you can see through the sides. 0/10 experience. Do NOT stay here.

After being told first there were no rooms, they found a room at Beach House, next door. Although rennovations were not complete, it had main things, it was clean and comfortable. It will beautiful .

Vacationed to celebrate the 4th of July with my family. This is not a place for family's, it's absolutely a place for college kids to party. We were up all night as the other occupants were screaming and partying well past 3am. The staff did nothing about it. Besides that the room was Ill equipped for the 4 person occupancy we paid for. With 2 towels and one roll of toilet paper. The pillows were flat with no extra in the room. Anytime we tried to talk to staff the line was too long because they had one person working. We were close to the beach which was a plus and we had a great view of the Dewey beach fireworks from the upper Sun deck. But I wish we would have known ahead of time so we could have found a more family friendly hotel.

I have no idea how this hotel received so many great reviews, they must be paying bots to write them. I rented two rooms for my family. Both rooms were disgusting. The shower drain was so clogged the water was standing within seconds. All metal finishes are rusted, and toilet seat is worn out. All of the trim, flooring, shades etc are worn out and scratched. Holes in the shade. It all needs to be redone from top to bottom. You can see daylight through the main door, the extra lock was broken off. The air conditioner made a terrible noise all night.
I recommend you stay anywhere else.

Dewey Beach is a party town and this hotel is in the middle of the party. This hotel and the adjacent sister hotel market themselves as \"Block Party Resort\". This is a motel with doors facing a busy street across from the bars and people partying outside of the bars. I made the mistake of staying on a Saturday night in their peak season. The noise from the bars and the street is very loud with people partying outside and motorcycles speeding by. At around 11:30 pm I called 911 because there was a drunk person banging on my door demanding to be let in. There are no peep holes on the doors and I never saw a motel security guard. My advice is to stay away from this property unless plan to join the party.

They recently started charging $15 for parking. I think that's ridiculous, if more than one vehicle sure. Sent an online check in which did nothing but had to do again anyway (waste of time). Long line to check in at 4pm could be better. Why not have the pre-check in work and send text when room is ready to pick up key or send key info to phone and no key card at all. Great location. Tight parking spaces. Clean and nice size rooms. Decent pools and outside showers. Great size refrigerator/freezer. Would be great if a second ice machine. And bathroom could have separated the toliet from sink area with a siding door as it looks like it should have been. Would stay again.

Awesome location - rooms were clean upon check in. Loved the coffee shop being right there and being so close to the beach and the bay. Trolly stop right at front door to take trips to Rehoboth. Staff was super friendly. It was a dog friendly motel- but no signs outside of dogs- well kept- no dogs barking at night. The rooftop seating was nice in the evenings to relax and listen to the music at nearby bars. We stayed four nights- only complaint was we never were provided clean towels or toilet paper and the trash was never cleaned from our room. I had to find someone working to provide these items for us. The room was never checked on our entire stay. Other than that - we loved our stay and will return.

No big issues. Probably more personal but for one I wish they would buy better sheets. I’m not asking for 1000 count sheets, but these were all peeled and I literally could not sleep on them. They were scratching my legs all night. Also it’d be nice if there was a blanket on the bed, nobody uses the comforter that’s on the bed because that never gets changed from guest to guest, but you would like a blanket even a lightweight one and ask for the toiletries. I know it’s costly to purchase that and people take them I get it but I have long thick hair there was no way that shampoo was working for me.

Unfortunately, no one did anything about loud, disruptive behavior every night outside on hotel property. There was no coffee available early in the lobby and no coffee maker in the rooms. We had to ask for our microwave (which was brought quickly- I appreciated the maintenance and cleaning staff). The front desk staff was cordial, but was unable to give me a receipt for the parking fee and pet fee, claiming it hadn't been billed- but my credit card was definitely billed for it.

WARNING: What you should know is that Dewey Beach is not like Rehoboth. Rehoboth is quiet, but Dewey is for partiers. This particular hotel was filled with college students who treated it like a dorm room. Screaming in the halls until 3am. There are loud clubs across the street. We were up until 3am both nights given the noise and other hotel residents being really loud. If you're not looking to party, would suggest another area. We are exhausted from this weekend trip which was supposed to be relaxing.

The room we upgraded to was awesome! The bed was comfortable, the bathroom had all the amenities one would need and the shower was hot with great water pressure. The location to the beach was perfect for the Doodles in Dewey event we came down for.

The woman with the terrible attitude at the front desk really ruined it for us at this place. Make sure you PRINT out your confirmation paperwork because it sounds like their rules and rates change often (parking/ dog fees etc).

Parking is free on the street in the off season. We even spoke to a police officer to make sure our car wasn't going to be towed, like the front desk said it would. Sure enough he said no it’s fine right where we parked it, overnight.

It felt like she made it her personal mission to try to intimidate guests.

I would stay here again in hopes that woman is no longer there- the hotel itself fit all of our needs. Come prepared and you’ll have a great time!

The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with everything we needed for a stress-free getaway. The staff was so very friendly and accommodating, always ready with a smile and very helpful.

We love how laid-back the atmosphere is and being in the heart of Dewey with all the fun things to do.

Anytime we come to Dewey we always stay here and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a simple, enjoyable, and perfectly located beach escape!

Excellent location, if you don't mind the sounds of the Friday and Saturday night concerts across the street carrying to your room. Excellent food options nearby. Clean room, sheets, towels, bathroom, except VERY DIRTY FLOOR. Bring socks or slippers. Excellent water pressure in the shower, not so much for the toilet. Expect to flush twice. Nice outdoor gathering areas. Best of all - ocean block location for reasonable price.
