Not fancy but clean enough and dog- friendly! Beautiful pier out to the bay with chairs! A quick convenient walk to the beach! Very small area for pets to relieve themselves, this was a bit of a challenge. Cannot beat the location!

The staff was terrific but under new management so there were lots of surprises. Pool and water options closed, unexpected new charges of $15 per night for parking, no screens on the patio door so the room full of flies, no upgrades to ac and kitchenette (the ac was loud and blew dirty air) and a tree on one side of the property bangs on the roof gutter so loudly we didn’t get any sleep the first night and had to change rooms). Years ago this was a great place, but with lack of upgrades and proper maintenance has gone downhill. We will not stay here again,

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!!!

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
