You could not beat the location! Easy walk to the beach and mini golf in your backyard. The pool was clean. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful! There were a few extra perks they pointed out which we took full advantage of. The only drawback was that there wasn’t daily housekeeping but we were only there for a few nights and picked up after ourselves. I appreciated that there was a fridge to keep drinks cold and microwave just in case you wanted to heat up a snack. We would definitely plan to return in the future!

The property and the staff were nice. I did not however like that the bathtub had floor stickers in it, didnt seem sanitary. I am not sure if all tubs had them or if a guest placed them there but you could see the dirt gathered around and under them. I also enjoy that they are flexible after check out for guest to use the outdoor showers to rinse off after visiting the beach on our last day.

Daily vouchers for beach umbrella/chair service was a great bonus. The breakfast room with hot and cold breakfast options provided a nice start to the day and one less meal expense. Great location, quick easy walk to beach access and a 15 minute walk to shops and restaurants at the Bethany Boardwalk. Very friendly and helpful staff. A nice family (& pet) friendly hotel - lots of multi-generational guests during our stay.

Hotel Bethany Beach was perfect for a long weekend girls trip. It is just a few minutes walk from the beach and the hotel provides vouchers for beach gear and mini golf. The hotel is clean and the staff at the front desk were kind and helpful. Parking is super easy too.
