How to Plan a Perfect Weekend Getaway to Rehoboth, Delaware | Eater DC

"Sitting in the heart of Rehoboth only a block from the boardwalk, this is an ideal place to stay, with 89 rooms, a salt water pool, jacuzzi, steam room, sun deck, and spa, plus the award-winning Blue Hen restaurant on site. I love the perks: complimentary beach chairs and a beach shuttle that gets you as close to the sand as possible, included breakfast, evening milk and cookies, a wine and cheese hour, and passes for free bike rentals at nearby Atlantic Cycles." - Claudia Rosenbaum

We love the Avenue during the off season. Christmas is our favorite time of year and it is decorated beautifully! So many restaurants, shops in walking distance. Hotel staff very friendly. Rooms are spotless. Love the hot tub, and all the perks! Lastly, so close to the beach!!

Can’t believe I haven’t written a review. My husband and I have been staying here for our anniversary for the last few years. We love the free coffee all day and the milk & cookies. Towels and beach chairs are provided and the hotel is a block away from the beach. Rehoboth is very walkable and the location of this hotel is perfect. Rooms have always been clean. Staff is friendly. My only issue is sometimes there isn’t enough garage parking. We usually go in the off season so street parking is free but I understand the hassle it would be during peak season.

For over $550 per night (in August) we expected a decent stay but, unfortunately, we felt like we stayed in an extremely overpriced motel with rude employees, laughable breakfast and poor cleanliness and safety concerns. When we first checked in and got to our room, the door was wide open. Assuming we were given someone else's room, we proceeded to go back to the check-in desk. With an attitude, we were told that cleaning staff simply forgot to close the door after "cleaning" and even if we wanted to switch rooms, they are completely sold out so "deal with it". Wow. Speaking of cleaning staff. We were appalled that the room was not clean thoroughly (again, for this price - it is too much to ask?), there was debris on the floor and sink surface was dirty. The worst part of this horrible stay was breakfast. Most of the people working there are rude and unhappy, they make you line up for a very limited hot food selections that they serve in a teeny tiny portions and it tasted worse than the food we had at any other hotel, even Hampton Inn breakfast seemed miles better. Again, perhaps our expectations were too high, but paper plates and plastic cups, in addition to a borderline inedible food, seemed like a slap in the face for this price. Same goes for their wine and cheese happy hour - expect wine that tastes worse than box wine and cheese that tastes like plastic. The only nice amenity we appreciated during our stay was nightly cookies and milk in the lobby. Location-wise, it's still not that close to the beach to make walking with all the gear easy. We wish we stayed elsewhere. Our vacation was ruined by this nightmare of the hotel.

The Avenue Inn always makes our family holiday weekend such fun. We've been coming for 20 years and Avenue Inn recognized our milestone with an Anniversary wish and a bottle of champagne! They sure do make you feel special! Thank you to John for taking such good care of us. Can't wait for our next visit!!

Excellent location right in the center of town walking distance to the beach/boardwalk, shops and restaurants. Friendly staff, clean and the room was laid out well. Enjoyed happy hour and the complimentary breakfast.

The Avenue Inn and Spa is THE BEST!! From the moment we booked the reservation to the moment we checked out, everything was amazing. The rooms are gorgeous, the pool and hot tub are so refreshing, and the staff is absolutely WONDERFUL! They definitely go above and beyond to make your stay very smooth. You can tell they truly care about their guests.

We’ve always had great experiences at The Avenue Inn when we visit Rehoboth in the summer. This evening we were decorating our Christmas tree and had such good memories of Lou and all the Avenue Inn staff. Such wonderful people! We’ll be back in 2026 excited to see Lou and all the friends at The Avenue Inn and in Rehoboth.

Had costume make up for an upscale Halloween event. Captain Jack Sparrow was my character & Talia did a great job! Only recommendation is for much more room for makeup application...it was very cramped & offered no water or coffee. My makeup was perfect & won 1st prize for costume!!

Decided to go to Rehoboth for a 24 hour trip last minute and found this hotel on Expedia for a great price (~$200). It was an amazing experience overall and highly recommend it. Here are the many things we loved: 1. nice clean room, comfy bed. met expectations 2. breakfast included (the items are not too exciting but there's enough food for a snack early morning to last us until brunch), free wine and cheese in the afternoon, cookies and milk at night 3. just 3 blocks from the beach sands. we didn't use it but saw a buggy that would drive people with the beach chairs to the beach. 4. guests can use their towels and beach chairs 5. there's a pool and hot tub (didn't use since we'd rather be at the beach for the short trip) 6. very courteous and helpful hotel staff I'm sure in the summer the same room would be at least $400-500 a night. It was great to come in October, weather was perfect and the rooms are much cheaper.

"Cause I'm running on the bad side And I got my back to the wall Tenth Avenue freeze-out" (Bruce Springsteen) The hotel is simply beautiful. There are so many seating options in the lobby that look as though they came out of a beach resort magazine. The hotel posts a daily board of local restaurant specials, and the hotel itself offers plenty of great extras, like wine and cheese every day from 5:00-6:00, and cookies and milk every evening at 8:00 in the lobby. Complimentary lobby coffee is available 24/7, so there are no coffee makers in the rooms. There's also a big game room with dozens of board games. They have an indoor pool and sauna, and an outdoor hot tub. Our hotel room was quite large, with a huge flatscreen TV, a work desk, a king-sized bed, a sofa, and a coffee table. The in-room Wi-Fi and the satellite TV worked great. The bath was on the smaller size, but it looked brand new. The shower had plenty of hot water and the only nitpick was maybe the pressure from the rainfall style shower head could have been a teense more forceful. We had a nice private balcony overlooking the street and their street level firepit and seating area. The overall location is great, just a very short walk to the boardwalk and beach and within hundreds of stores and restaurants. The daily breakfast was stellar -a bounty of pre-made omelets, Sausages, Baked pears, Cereals, Oatmeal (with mix- ins like nuts, chocolate, granola, seeds, coconut), Pastries, whole and cut fruit, yogurt, cottage cheese, hash browns, and ham slices. Our off-season rate was a little over $100 a night, quite a good deal for the hotel's luxury and services. Guest service was excellent at every encounter we had.

Returned for a rest filled weekend and some restaurant hopping. Always welcomed here and the staff is always responsive and helpful to make sure your stay is comfortable. So nice to get here during the 'off' season because traffic is much more forgiving and the lines for restaurants are shorter without reservations. Accommodations are great. Quiet places to relax and read and spaces to unwind or exercise. Love the sauna, spa and pool!

Amazing cute boutique Hotel ever, nestled a block away from Rehoboth Beach and popular boardwalk. From entering the hotel to the lobby the scent was amazing. To the details and cleanliness the hotel is world class. The hallways leading up to the room were also cleaned and very detailed with more aromatics adding to the experience. Room quality was solid with comfortable beds and nautical decor to add a nice touch. Everything was in working order and pleasant. Food offerings were great and there are so many shops and local pubs within walking distance. This is a must see experience that one would be amazed. The wine and cheese hour and milk and cookies is a nice touch! Cheers

I can't say enough good things about this hotel. Everything about my stay went over and beyond my expectations. First of all , I got a call a few days before check in from a very friendly gentleman who let me know that I could park my car in their garage at noon even if my room wasn't ready. He also told me that parking is free in town this time of year and let me know about some extras at the hotel. When I arrived I went to the desk to get a parking pass and my room was ready and was able to check in very early. The staff was very friendly and helpful- my room was adequate- clean and comfortable. The hotel itself was beautifully decorated for Christmas and the vibe was very chill. Perfect soundtrack playing the entire time. They have wine and cheese at happy hour and cookies and milk at 8 . Also a lovely free breakfast. This was during the off season but I imagine it would be awesome anytime of year . I can't wait to stay again!!

Nighttime front desk staff was great. Morning front desk staff today should find a job outside of the hospitality industry. Packed up the breakfast early today, at 9:50 we had a choice of oatmeal or ham. No continental options, no "full breakfast served until 10." I did get a generic response from the GM on my google review, hoping I would give them another chance. Fire the day staff that cleaned up early today, fire the super rude front desk attendant Ashley, and then fire yourself Michael and we will come back.

Always a good experience here. Always respected. Go out of their way to make your stay as comfortable and relaxing as possible. Special shout out to John at the front desk who helped me find the perfect room for my needs and acknowledges me by name whenever he sees me. Ten out of five stars.

Came in for a 3 day weekend stay and had an excellent time. The staff went above and beyond at every turn. From smooth check in to complimentary breakfast to the beach taxi service to the housekeeping professionals. Top notch. The milk and cookies for the kids was very much appreciated by our boys. Will definitely be adding The Avenue to our short list of Rehoboth Beach hotels.

Came to Rehobeth for a 3-day weekend prior to an invasive surgery for a little rest and relaxation The mildew smell in the room was so strong, I developed an asthmatic cough and was congested the whole stay. It wasn't pollen because every time we left the room it was immediately easier to breathe. Checked out early. Wait to visit during peek tourist season.

I really loved this hotel. Even though their tea kettle top opened up and gave me a very bad burn on my hand, the hotel was great. Cookies and milk at night, a great (but too crowded!) breakfast, wine and cheese hour, a great board game/reading room. Walk to the beach. Free parking. And great indoor pool along with a comfortable room! It was a ridiculously low cost for all of this during a warm week in April. Also appreciated the lady at the front desk who took good care of me with ice for my burn. I think I scared the heck out of her, but luckily it turned out okay. Would have appreciated a free drink or something, but hey, at least there was the free wine hour every night. Be careful with that tea kettle!

Susan L.

Yelp
This is a really nice hotel. It is close to the beach and they provide beach chairs and towels for their guests. If you don't want to walk, they will shuttle you and your things to the beach. They offer a wine and cheese hour in the evenings and cookies and milk starting at 8 pm. They also offer a complimentary breakfast which is better than the typical hotel breakfast, though I prefer to go out for breakfast or brunch when I'm on vacation. I'd give it 5 stars, but the area around the hotel is noisy at night. This is not the hotel's fault (they actually warned you before you book). I highly recommend this hotel!

What a nice place to stay! We were only here one night but I wish we could have stayed for longer. At a time when it seems like every business is trying to cut corners and charge you extra for every little thing, The Avenue Inn & Spa seems to be doing the opposite. There are so many amenities to enjoy! Great hot tub and pool with sauna and steam room as well as a giant chessboard and Connect Four game; beach towels, chairs and a shuttle (although the beach is just a short walk away so we didn't use the shuttle); a nice buffet breakfast (even though most hotels with a restaurant don't do the free breakfast thing); wine & cheese at 5pm, cookies & milk at 8pm; board games in a quiet sitting room; free parking in the garage below the building. Granted, the room rates aren't cheap... but we have paid that same rate for other beach hotels that were not such a treat. Editing to add that Michael at the front desk, who checked us in, was very friendly and cheerful!

I made a reservation online during a special event weekend which was not disclosed on the website when I made the reservation. I canceled and was charged a $25 fee because it was during an event weekend. I called about that charge and spoke to the most unprofessional "manager" I ever came across. He was belligerent and raised his voice at me. I was respectful and told him I appreciated him removing the charge. He raised his voice even more and continued to yell and berate me. Now he's going to see this and reply I was rude to his staff and himself which I was not. His way of turning the situation he created. Thats how he responded to my review on Trip Advisor. Don't believe him and don't book here and you will not have to deal with an unprofessional manager, Michael Hayes.

UTTERLY SUPERB... WITH A FEW CAVEATS My friend and I stayed at the Avenue Inn for 3 nights the week before Memorial Day 2023. While there is much to love about this superbly run hotel, it has a few small "cracks in the mirror." Read on! * The location of the Avenue Inn is perfection... You step out the front door and you're on Rehobeth Avenue, in the heart of the shops and restaurants, truly a couple blocks from the boardwalk. Public spaces--the lobby (with a fun chalkboard announcing weather and trivia) and separate sunny sitting room (no kids until 11am, hurrah!)--along with staff, cleanliness, the 5pm wine & cheese, and cookies & milk at 8pm, were all first-rate. Breakfast 7:30-10am, was average, with no sterno keeping eggs and meats hot, and rock hard biscuits. And the underground parking is a nail-biter; there are not enough spaces for all rooms and they're mighty narrow, so good luck with the hunt and getting your door open without tapping the car beside you (parking IS graciously free, so I should hush up). * After paying a premium for a Shore Choice King Suite, my friend and I were perturbed with the room's heinous view, overlooking a closed in roofline and HVAC units (say no to room 208!). We politely asked if we could move and were told an alternative room would be available the next day... the front desk made things easy enough for us: Pack up by 11am and they'll take care of moving our luggage while we're out and about. All wonderfully professional and cordial. Aside from that view, the King Suite room was spectacular: sparkling clean, perfectly maintained and impeccably appointed, with a spacious closet, heavenly bedding, large bathroom, walk-in shower and additional seating in the "living" area. No balcony, but large windows. * After moving to the second room on day two, we were surprised that, in fact, we'd been downgraded to a West Side Dunes King (room 204), a substantially smaller space with old, scarred furniture, a tiny bathroom (where the door hits the toilet), eensy closet and signs of neglect on the walls and baseboards. One nice upgrade: It DID include a balcony facing Wilmington Avenue, which we loved. Overall, we made the best of it, but I found it curious that while staff were kind enough to relocate us, no mention was made that it would be an inferior, smaller, markedly less expensive option, in need of significant upgrades. * Finally, to end on a high, The Blue Hen on-site eatery is as good as any five-star destination restaurant I've indulged anywhere in the U.S., including NYC, Vegas and Palm Springs. The experience was superlative, from resplendent ambiance and efficient team service to the exquisite food. My pal and I started with a half-dozen East Coast oysters, which were petite but delicious; and for entrees, I had the rich and robust Mafaldine, with "pasta ribbons, bacon, artichokes, lemon, cream and pecorino," while he had seared diver scallops, which were enormous and exceptionally meaty. Utter perfection!

The hotel staff could not have been more wonderful. The included breakfast was actually breakfast. Eggs, breakfast casseroles, cereals, fruit, biscuits, truly wonderful. And, being a southern raised girl, I was absolutely taken aback when I saw the sausage gravy. And it was wonderful. I probably gain 5 pounds on our trip just from the breakfast. We stayed the Avenue II. The room overlooks Rehoboth Ave. the room was a wonderful size and for once I enjoyed a comfy bed in a hotel. Nice and clean, we ended up taking advantage of the sitting area in our room to relax and read a little. They offered milk and cookies each night, a wine and cheese happy hour. Just an overall great stay and The Avenue is our new quick-getaway location.

Excellence! I've stayed in Ritz-Carlton's and Four Seasons...and The Avenue delivers the same high level of service, style, pampering, warmth and genuine good cheer that make an overnight feel like VACATION. The rooms are large. I adore the themed barn doors in the different rooms. We had a king with sitting room for two nights and a queen with

Beautiful property, great location, and a list of amenities a mile long. Unfortunately we didn't get to enjoy it after finding bed bugs in our 2nd floor room facing Rehoboth avenue (we check the mattress first thing on entry). When we immediately returned to the front desk and discretely explained what was going on, we were offered a refund but no clear apology. No remaining vacant rooms either, so we were left scrambling for alternate arrangements. We understand this can happen anywhere, but this was a real bummer.

A good night's sleep is assured. The bed is comfortable. The room is dark and quiet. Then you get all these extras. Pool, hot tub, sauna, steam room. Then there are beach towels, beach chairs, and a lift to the beach. Wine and cheese at 5 pm. Chocolate chip cookies at 8. The only flaw is breakfast. Coffee isn't good, and a majority of the food isn't either. Fresh fruit is an Option. Also, no decaf teas. We had a wonderful stay but got our coffee and breakfast elsewhere.

We had a lovely stay at The Avenue Inn and Spa. Randi (maybe?) checked us in and was funny and friendly. The room was very clean. (helpful hint - you can't check in your luggage early and I didn't see baggage clerks but there were carts). Parking is under the hotel. We had two queen beds. It was the busy season, and I took a "No view room." It truly had no view (ha, ha). It overlooked the back of the building, but did have a sliding door to get some air. The beds were confrontable, and the water pressure in the shower wasn't bad. The room seemed very clean except for the stains on one of the blue fabric covers on the bed. At 8:00 they had free cookies in the lobby. We picked up cookies and went to the game room, which was empty. We played a nice game of chess (the pieces are under the table). We were able to walk all over from this location. (another hint - skip the restaurant down stairs). We did walk up to the pool and walked out where the overside chess set it. It was nice. They offered a free breakfast (spinach/egg/cheese cups, granola, yogurt, waffles), which was very good!

We've been coming here for years and it has really gone down hill. The breakfast was cold, minimal, and poor quality. The room was dingy with obvious deferred maintenance all over. They changed the toiletries to a low quality brand and even the tea selections were cheap generic ones. Finally, the staff was not as professional as they used to be. It was sad to see since this was once a nice hotel. We won't be going back.

Been coming hear many years over Christmas holidays, very disappointed in their continental breakfast, Really cut back with a small scoop of scramble eggs/ no meat/ cold French bread, no donuts or fresh fruit , no more waffles, Be prepared to go out and eat, as you will now leave here hungry, What a shame for this place to go down,,,,,

Avenue inn Our first time at Rehobeth and we wanted to stay at a hotel that was right in the middle of everything. We waited a little too long and ended up getting a room without a balcony but it really didn't matter. The room was absolutely clean and beautiful! The hotel is in a wonderful location and the fact that there is underground parking is a plus! They have wine/cheese and milk /cookies at certain times throughout the day which is a really awesome and amenity. Also, the hotel itself was very clean and well maintained. A suggestion would be to add full-length mirrors into the rooms. It's really hard to look at an outfit with only the bathroom mirror. I was trying to use the reflection of the shower glass but it didn't work too well. Also would be nice to have USB plug-ins near the bed or somewhere in the room. Most hotels now have this available. Both times we interacted with a person at the front desk at check-in and checkout staff did not seem very happy or friendly. A smile goes along way. Both ladies looked miserable... We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing time!! An excellent location for people who like to drink, eat, and shop!!

I liked this place a lot and will return, I gave it a four and hopefully things change because their breakfast was a disappointment. Room temperature coffee! I had to bring it back to the room and use the microwave. Their eggs and French toast were cold, even the oatmeal was warm at best. The hotel, staff, location all good. If they serve a true hot breakfast I'd give it a 10!

Check in was easy. Desk Staff very friendly. The room (in the Annex) was clean and comfortable. More flies than we would have liked... but the real issue was NO CLEANING STAFF. We left our room at 10am and returned at 3pm. Nothing was done in the room. No replenished towels...no beds made...no garbage emptied. For the first time EVER we did not leave a tip. Another issue was that ALL THE BEACHES were closed, yet the hotel never provided that little tidbit of information. I like to walk. I love to walk on the beach, which is why we choose beach resorts for our vacations. It would have been nice to know that the beaches were closed. We could have visited at a different time. Very disappointing to say the least.

My family of 4 really enjoyed our stay! We just checked out today and were so sad to leave. The rooms were very clean and spacious and the amenities were awesome. The wine and cheese, breakfast, and milk and cookies were a real hit. The kids also loved the pool! We traveled with our 2.5 year old and 6 year old. The rooms were great: we stayed in the Coastal Choice Queen one night and then the Rehoboth Beach Luxury Queen for the second night. Both rooms were big enough to keep the pack and play in a separate nook near the bathroom so our little one got to sleep on his own out of sight. They also provided crib sheets, blankets, and kids soap and kid shampoo. Very helpful! The front desk staff was very nice and helpful. The cleaning staff was also lovely. The coffee in the lobby was great and the lobby bathrooms were so clean. We loved everything about our stay and can't wait to come back!

Location is great but that's it... Front desk staff refused my wife baggage-check so she had to haul her luggage and 3yr old granddaughter thru town all day. Concierge baggage-check is a basic service that literally every other hotel on the planet offers. Very minimal parking for larger vehicles Restaurant & bar closes well before 10pm We've stayed here several times in the past but this was the worst experience bay far, we are not likely to return and can not recommend the property for anyone.

We just returned from our annual winter get-a-way weekend at the Avenue Inn and I wanted to provide an update to my original review from two years ago. Once again, the Avenue Inn surpassed our expectations as it has time and time again. The location is ideal with one door exiting onto Rehoboth Ave and the other main door opening to the numerous restaurant options on Wilmington Ave. Customer service is the characteristic that stands out the most during our visits. All employees make a point to ask if you need anything, greet you each day, and seem to truly care that you chose to stay at the AI. It was raining the one evening and the hotel provided us with umbrellas to use when we left for dinner. In addition to the customer service, the additional amenities create a warm welcoming environment. Warm chocolate chip cookies are set out each night at 8PM, complementary wine and cheese is served each evening in the lobby, 24-hour coffee and tea, and the included breakfast consists of multiple hot selections in addition to muffins and cereal. This stay we booked a costal queen suite, which was nicely decorated, very spacious, and spotlessly clean. The suite consisted of the regular 2 beds and bathroom area, but had a separate living area with a couch, table, and TV. This extra area was a bonus to have to relax in instead of the down stairs lounge. The room appeared to have been recently renovated, which also contributed to the overall experience. Housekeeping does an exceptional job of maintaining the rooms. There is a new restaurant attached to the hotel lobby, The Blue Hen. Guests at the AI can receive 10% off their dining check by showing their room key to their waiter. This was a nice perk offered to hotel guests. While the restaurant and bar area are convenient, it did seem to increase the noise level in the hotel lobby at times, but not to a detracting level. Overall, our stay at the Avenue Inn was, as always, the relaxing and rejuvenating experience we needed to get through the rest of the winter. We look forward to our return next winter!

Beautiful hotel and a great location!! Short walk to many restaurants and beach! Loved. the happy hour and the cookies! Pool is so nice w a sauna and hot tub! Super clean!!! The only disappoint was the room. We reserved a room w a fireplace and balcony and they only had 2 beds instead of a king . The beds were super uncomfortable basically on a slant and the fireplace was not real. Even with these issues 100 % we will be back and try a different room.

The Aveune is a wonderful hotel to stay at in Rehoboth. Its situated one block from the beach and has two entrances so that you can either walk on the main strip or on the back where it's quieter. My family came and we stayed 4 nights. Our room was very modern with hardwood floors and a walk in shower. Loved that we were in a suite to give us more space. The living room area is when you first walk in, then the bathroom with sliding doors and finally the bedroom. The beds were comfortable and sheets were sufficient for our stay. The only downside was because of COVID housekeeping doesn't service your room for your entire stay. Although I don't agree. I would have preferred one visit at a minimum but respect the hotels decision to make that call. We will be back, I know we'll have to book early as I know this is a popular hotel.

I took my family and we enjoyed it. We stayed in a Coastal Choice Queen Suite and loved it. It was very spacious and had enough space for 2 toddlers and 2 adults for 4 days. We ate in a lot and enjoyed the year round open indoor pool. The Hotel had mostly retirees there and we didn't take advantage of the Wine and Cheese but the breakfast was good and saved money. Would go back. Blue Hen was good food but very pricey.

This place is amazing ! I felt like I was in a Hallmark Christmas movie. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Rooms were lovely. Free full breakfast, wine and cheese at 5 and warm cookies and milk at 8, plus free coffee, tea, hot cocoa and infused water 24/7. Location amazing . Hit the outlets and the local shops. We are already planning our next stay

I love this hotel because they understand the true definition of hospitality. I stayed at a Bethany Beach hotel for my birthday and I was so disappointed in their free breakfast, charge for parking, pool was closed, so I decided to complete my birthday week at The Avenue. Free hot breakfast, indoor swimming pool, steam room, sauna, outdoor jacuzzi, game room, fitness center, 5pm- cheese, crackers and wine, 8pm- chocolate chip cookies and milk, plus they recognized my birthday with chocolates, free glasses and wine. THIS IS THE BEST HOTEL that I have ever been in and there was a fireplace and balcony in my room. I WILL BE BACK!!!

We came here in august 2020 for the first time and we were apprehensive given the pandemic but the staff was wonderful and the hotel had so many safety measures in place (breakfast packaged in to-go containers, everyone masking, coffee cups individually set out in the lobby). The indoor heated saltwater pool was fantastic, with big sliding doors for air circulation. And we loved Lew, who drives the shuttle to the beach. He was very sweet to our kids and they kept asking to see him again once we left. We just finished our fourth trip to this gem and can't wait to come back! Post vaccines, the Covid precautions have been lifted but we still love this place and beautiful rehoboth. We will come back as much as possible!

Great Rehoboth hotel with a great location just over a block from the boardwalk and just a block from Rehoboth Ave, where most of the restaurants and shops are located. Upon arrival, they have a small parking lot near the lobby where you can park temporarily while checking in. We were then given a parking placard and directed to the garage beneath the hotel. Parking was included with no extra charge. The check-in process was COVID friendly, with masked staff, plastic dividers, and hand sanitizer. They have each guest keep the pen they use to sign the check-in paperwork, which was also appreciated. They also informed us that housekeeping does NOT attend to the rooms during your stay to make sure that you are the only person in your room. I did see a few guests in the hallways without masks, which was a bit unsettling, but admittedly not necessarily the hotel's fault. We stayed in one of the queen rooms overlooking Wilmington Ave. The room was clean and spacious; we appreciated that a small table with two chairs was included so that we had space to comfortably enjoy takeout. We also enjoyed sipping coffee on our balcony with two comfortable chairs in the mornings. The beds were comfortable, though the air conditioning unit was very loud and woke me up a few times at night. That being said, if the unit was off, our room was quiet despite its location right next to the stairs and elevator. They have adapted their breakfast and their wine-and-cheese happy hour for COVID, asking at check-in if we wanted their hot breakfast option that rotated each day (breakfast sandwiches, frittattas, etc) or the cold option (cereal, yogurt parfaits). We wound up choosing the cold breakfast in an attempt to choose a healthier option since the warm breakfasts were very meat-and-cheese heavy; the yogurt parfaits were basic but adequate. The wine and cheese happy hour features your choice of red or white wine in a plastic cup, along with spreadable cheese, individual packets of Club crackers, and chocolate chip cookies --- none of this is particularly spectacular taste-wise, but it's a nice touch that we appreciated nonetheless. Coffee and tea are available 24/7 in the lobby. We also utilized the 10% discount at the restaurant attached to the hotel (The Blue Hen), which I would highly recommend (and have reviewed separately).

We came during an off-month (March) and had a nice time, particularly using the hot tub and pool. I did feel that there were a few oversights that you wouldn't expect from such a top rated hotel as this one. We had paid extra for an upgrade prior to arriving and our "upgrade" was an adjoining room which meant we could *very* clearly hear everything our neighbors said at 11 o'clock at night. Not much of an upgrade. There was also a light from a detector directly above our bed that blinked intermittently non-stop all night (but frankly we were too tired to report it), the shower/toilet door didn't latch, and the front desk wasn't particularly welcoming. The property itself was nice, however, and the free wine and cookie hour were a nice touch. But we probably wouldn't pay a ton to stay here when there are other decent affordable options in the area.

The staff here is incredible - especially Drew and Alex! I used them for a room block for my wedding and they were so accommodating. I highly recommend this hotel!

This property did not disclose that the room I was booking was "off site" and not in their main hotel unitl after I booked the property. They emailed me 1 day later suggesting that I change my room because the one I booked was "off site" and located over a "loud bar that plays music until 1am or after. When I called, the person at the desk hung up on me when I asked to speak to a manager after telling me I could only cancel by paying a fee. This felt like a scam and very rude customer service. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!!!

We spent two nights at the Avenue Inn & Spa and found it to be a perfect getaway location. It's walking distance to the beach, shops, and restaurants. The room was cozy and on the deck with had a little view of the ocean. Breakfast is included as well as a mini-happy hour with wine and cheese. Also, the staff was very professional and welcoming. We'll go back.

We love the Avenue Inn and before we left yesterday, we booked our next stay. The rooms are spotless and the amenities are wonderful. One of the absolute best things they offer is a large changing room with a shower and toiletries so guests who check out but want to spend the day on the beach can get cleaned up before leaving. We did note a couple of things that were a bit surprising, particularly given how much we were spending per night. The front desk staff was notably unhappy. Literally none of them cracked a smile during any of our interactions. The woman who checked us in rattled off the check-in information (parking, breakfast time, how to access beach chairs, etc) like it was a script that she didn't feel like reading. In addition, although breakfast is available from 8am - 10am, we arrived at 9:45am and there was nothing left. No fruit, no yogurt, no bread or bagels. They weren't replenishing anything, so we ended up going to a restaurant for breakfast. We will absolutely be back, but it is worth noting that nowhere is perfect.

Kind, caring, and responsive staff. Exceptionally clean and comfortable rooms. Lovely amenities, such as complimentary wine and cheese (and cookies!) in the evenings, coffee and tea at all times, and a saltwater pool (there is a hot tub, too, but I wasn't able to try that...maybe next time!) Amazing location, by many interesting stores and places to eat, and very convenient parking...I always so look forward to staying at this wonderful hotel when I visit Rehoboth!

This was a horrible experience. We stayed last year for Mother's Day and this year was horrible. Couldn't access any of our streaming services we pay for and front desk was rude and of no help. Horrible customer service, no help and huge disappointment. Booked room to watch tv in tub and couldn't even enjoy it because of limited tv channels, horrible service and misrepresentation. Nightmare and no customer service. Beyond disappointing.

Very nice hotel in a great location. We came here for a long weekend to celebrate our anniversary and everything was perfect. We treated ourselves to a couples massage and it was wonderful!
