The inn was okay for the price. Room was clean. The rug was stained from lots of use and needs good cleaning. Bathroom was brand new. Excellent condition. Staff very friendly and knowledgeable.
The place was surprisingly comfortable - a decommissioned Days Inn. We were perfectly content there. The pool was green with algae, however, and things were somewhat run down. And on checkout they used a small, easily treatable stain on one sheet to justify a 50 dollar charge. The facility is comfortable but keep. your eyes open and maybe don't swim.
The most recent Google reviews made me skeptical about booking but the king room overlooking the pool was clean aside from a couple cigarette burns in the comforter no weird smells and the bathrooms where nice aside from the tub almost feeling greased when showering a grab bar or traction pads would be a nice addition
All I can say is that they are so helpful and the rooms are clean

This is an old hotel. The room had some wall damage, but it was clean and the bed was comfortable.

Great location
Great location and the room was clean and well stocked. Door jam looked like it was kicked in and replaced leaving a gap to the outside so it was very noisy for most of the night (Sat). The bed was extra firm and too hard for my taste.
This property was recently bought by a family and they’re trying to turn the place around from when it was once The Days Inn and pretty rundown. They were very friendly and helpful at check in and check out. Our beds were very clean and comfortable. The rest of the experience was average just because the building and facilities need some TLC. We also went to check out the breakfast and it doesn’t seem like they have that fully dialed in yet… so do not count on breakfast. There is a great cafe across the street! Again super friendly and helpful fine for one night if you want to be able to access a walkable situation in downtown Dover.
