Great location and the sunset views are wonderful. The bay side room is right on the water. It’s quiet in the off season and very relaxing. The staff are so friendly and helpful! They make the stay even better! The room is on the small size but everything else made up for that!

Fine for what it is, expensive with dogs

We were bummed about the $150 non refundable dog fee, which doubled the cost of the hotel. It’s a good deal for its price, but not if you tack on the dog fee.

Great place to stay.

My family and I loved this hotel. Dog friendly, nice pool, right on the bay and a quick walk to the beach. It was clean, quiet and great location. My kids loved the dock and we went out on it daily. The only thing is next to the hotel is a nightclub. On Friday and Saturday night it can get a little crowded outside the resort but I couldn’t hear anything from our room so it didn’t affect us at all except when out walking our dog on the streets those two nights. The other nights were great. Would absolutely come again, get a bay side view!!!

Parking lot was full and it took half hour to find a space to park overnight, which costs an additional $31. Room was not clean, with an old soap bar still in the shower. Staff were nice.

The views on the bayside are amazing at this super friendly, fabulous place to stay in Dewey! Walkable to everywhere & everything. The pool is super clean as are the rooms. But the very best part is the helpful, attentive, above & beyond staff. Everyone including front desk, housekeeping & maintenance are available & happy to help. Really would like to keep this hotel a secret for fear I won’t be able to get reservations. But it’s too hard not to share

The stay was ok, I expected a little more considering the description of the room said that it had a separate room which it didn’t. It was a basic room nothing exciting.

This place is wonderful. You can walk to all the restaurants, live music, or sweet treats. The access to the bay is top notch. Paddle board right out from your room! The whole room is clean, view is wonderful (bay side) the pool is refreshing yet warm and clean. Be prepared for some beautiful sunsets! Two things: no elevator so if stairs are a concern request ground floor and bring bug spray for at night the little guys will nip you up.
