Very friendly staff, and a good parking lot, however this hotel is very rundown. It seems to be more of a long-term stay for working people than a hotel for travelers.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I would not recommend The Dover Inn at all. The room was disgusting. I have a video I wish I could share. Large stain on the rug. Stains on the bedspread. Walls with holes. It is hard to describe. I did not feel safe there. I should have walked out day one but stayed the night because I was exhausted. Expedia should take it off their list if they wish to maintain their reputation. The price was not cheap either

Clean cozy room with two beds. Definitely disappointed that this one didn’t have a coffee maker like the one bedroom we stayed in last time but other than that we were very satisfied. We had a stalker this time and the staff were right quick to get rid of her. Extremely helpful and appreciated!! I’ll be back

Do not knock this hotel. Needs work and you can tell they are making improvements. Room we stayed in bed was comfortable. Also of street light came in making it difficult to sleep if you sensitive to light. Over all was clean. Parking lot could be cleaning up. Eye sore of the looking like broken down vehicles. I understand people may live in hotels. As a guest I do not want to see it first hand knowing this what is happening around me. No breakfast was offered.

I stay in a wide variety of accommodations all around the world. And unfortunately, the only word I can really use to describe this day is yucky. It was me my husband and our adult daughter and we needed an overnight accommodation so we could be near an event. The room was dirty, there was mold in the bathroom, a huge gap where the AC was installed that let all of the outside in including noise and smoke and smells and cold. The toilet paper only had two sheets left on it when we got into the bathroom and the coffee machine didn’t work. The overall state of the room was just sort of light gross. The location is amazing. The staff was fine but there’s absolutely no way I would stay here again.
Stuff like this all over
