Hotel Bethany Beach
Hotel seemed like it was recently renovated. Everything looked in top shape. The room (the most important thing) was very spacious, very clean! Not a fan of the bathtub in the bathroom but the cleanliness of it made up for it. Breakfast was meh, but once again, the food area very clean! Definitely ...

Hotel Wave Rehoboth Beach
It had been updated, you can tell where it’s lacked. The carpet is disgusting. Our room floor was so dirty, our feet were filthy just walking. It smelled horribly of cigarette smoke. Wouldn’t stay again. The front staff is very nice however.
