The Gold Leaf Hotel of Dewey-Rehoboth Beach

Had such a great experience here. The staff were so friendly, the location was perfect, rooms were clean, beds were impressively made (tight hospital corners). The roof top pool area was so nice, towels and pool area were regularly checked on.

Not somewhere I would return to. Made my reservation on 3/6/2026 for a one night stay and payment was required in advance. After a long day of driving arrived at hotel to check in only to be told our reservation had been cancelled, than was told it was for night before. Luckily I had my confirmation email stating otherwise. After clerk checked with manager they could accommodate us and “upgraded” us. Got the room keys and headed up. Room was ok, seemed clean. Upgrade was a 1980’s mauve Jacuzzi in the corner of the room. Turned on TV to relax and the Dish satires not working. Called front desk. Came up about 1/2 hr later, long story short we never had TV. NOT somewhere I would stay again.

This well-situated hotel on the ocean block in Dewey has it all. Large, clean rooms (ours included a view of the sparkling bay across the highway) with every toiletry, including shower caps and washcloths (a washcloth is a must for me). The bed and pillows were comfortable and the room was quiet at night. The building includes a very large underground parking lot, which is truly rare in the beach towns, where street parking is at a premium. And the price at the Gold Leaf was very reasonable for a beautiful weekend in October (well under $200). I'm guessing this price goes way up in the summer, but for our purposes, this unfussy hotel was just right.
