Summer Place Hotel

I had a terrible experience at this hotel. The rooms were never cleaned, the bedsheets and towels were dirty, and the floors were covered in dust. I even found mold inside the fridge. The owners were extremely rude and disrespectful, showing no courtesy or hospitality to guests. I genuinely felt unsafe during my stay and was shocked by the overall condition of the place. I strongly advise others not to book this hotel. It’s hard to believe the county health department would allow such an unsanitary establishment to operate.

I will say it's close to the beach, but it was absolutely the most disgusting hotel I've ever stayed in. For the cheap price, I wasn't expecting a fancy room or even anything too nice, but I did expect a clean room. The comforter was stained and dirty looking. We turned it down to find long hairs in on the sheets. They were also in the shower. The mattress was old, noisy and you could feel the springs poking through. The hallway was cluttered and messy. The key was waiting at the front desk, so there was no one to complain to. When we checked out in the morning, a shirtless guy came out of the back. He told us we should have told him the night before about our complaints, but there was no one to be found. Best of all, after we left, the hotel tried to charge my husband's card a second time. Horrible place to stay, a total nightmare.

⚠️ Warning: Do NOT book a stay here. It is not worth your safety or comfort to save a few extra bucks.

We made a last-minute decision to stay overnight in Rehoboth Beach instead of driving home, and this place seemed like a quick, affordable option. Big mistake.

First red flag: the listing clearly stated checkout at 11 a.m., but when we arrived, we were told checkout was at 10 a.m. because the owner “has things to do.” Extremely unprofessional.

Second, you actually have to pay an additional $7 if you want to take a hot bath/shower. That alone is absurd.

The conditions were terrible:
• Water leaking onto the floor from the fridge.
• Filthy floors that clearly hadn’t been cleaned.
• Cracks and mold throughout the room.
• Overall unsafe atmosphere — there were sketchy characters hanging around, making it feel more like a halfway house than a hotel.

The whole environment felt unsafe and very sketchy. Please save yourself the stress and avoid this place altogether. Spend the extra money on a reputable hotel—it’s worth it for your safety, cleanliness, and peace of mind.
