What a dump!

The worst room I have ever stayed in. It should be a crime with how deceiving the pictures are. The room looked like it hadn't been cleaned since the new owners took over. Hotels.com should disassociate themselves with this establishment. It will be shut down by the board of health.
Broken, razor sharp tiles

Made the regrettable mistake of not reading the reviews on this property before booking. On review says “If you’re looking for a place that combines the charm of a haunted house with the ambiance of a truck stop bathroom, look no further than the Downtown Dover Inn”. Sadly, this description doesn’t even begin to capture the full extent of its deplorable conditions. From the overwhelming stench and lack of cleanliness in the room to serious safety concerns throughout the property … this place should be torn down! Also, very disappointed in Expedia for continuing to associate with and promote this property. It’s unacceptable that a platform I have trusted would list accommodations in such unacceptable condition.

Horrible. I signed a paper saying there would be a fee if the room was smoked in. The room smelled like it had been smoked in for 50 years. Overpowering! I told the clerk, and he said he wouldn’t charge me. Didn’t offer me a room that didn’t stink. Our room door was open when we got there. Reason being it didn’t lock and if you gave it a good push, it would open. There was a pubic hair in the tub. There was also no handle to turn the shower on and off. The pool looked like you would leave with a yeast infection. Will never go there again.
