Stayed at the Best Western in Delaware and it was just what I needed. Bed was comfy, and check-in was easy. Nothing fancy, but everything worked and the staff was chill. Great spot if you just need a reliable place to crash.

I would stay away from this hotel if you can. Yes its close to the airport but Im not sure its worth that convenience. When i stepped in the lobby instead of being greeted with a hi, how can i help you the front deak perso's literal 1st words out of his mouth was check in isnt til 3 - no asking my name or seeing if the room was ready. I should have known something was up. I had to ask 3 times to precheckin and we'd be back in an hour. When we came back at 305 we were told they put us in a pet room on the 1sr floor cuz someone got trapped in the elevator earlier. We have pets so we thought no problem. Initially we noticed everything in the room seemed damp but after a long drive we just settled in to chill and watch some TV. Thats when we noticed the ants on the floors, walls and night stands. Upon further inspection we found mold on the curtains too. My husband asked to switch rooms and they said they didn't have anymore of our kind on the 1st floor. I have heart issues but i wasn't gonna stay in a bug filled moldy room so we moved to a 3rd floor room without bugs or mold. This room is okay but when i went to take a shower the hook on the door was loose so no hanging my clothes there. I went to brush my teeth and the water in the sink wouldn’t go down. I had to play with the stopper to get it to work. We typically really like the best westren hotel brand but if they allow hotels like this and employ rude hotel staff we will not patronize these any more.

Hotel staff did not disclose that the elevator was out of service. No other room options available and traveling with elderly family members. There was no accommodations made for the inconvenience. Will not be returning to this hotel.

They didn’t have 1st floor handicap as requested so gave 2nd floor handicap but elevator didn’t work so had to take 1st floor regular room. Room clean but bed uncomfortable and pillows lumpy. Remote for tv didn’t work & they never fixed it.

For the price, excellent hotel. Have paid triple this to stay in a crappy budget hotel on the boardwalk with no breakfast or lobby to speak of.
