The Gold Leaf Hotel of Dewey-Rehoboth Beach

Stayed here around christmas 2025 on a couples road trip from Virginia to see Schellville Christmas village. Most important thing I think I’ll add first since it makes me feel like a good samaritan is: if you’re a female traveler or anyone worried about safety, please keep in mind this hotel has multiple entrances but only the main entrance is watched over — the one right by our room we learned by saving a long walk to our car is actually not locked from the outside! Someone could walk in through the garage, then into the hotel without needing a key or key card. The amazing things about this hotel are that it’s literally a seconds-long walk to the beach on both sides, if you go on the off-season, there are plenty of rooms available, they allow dogs for an extra fee, the service is exceptional and they have a 24 hour concierge for whatever questions or issues you might have, free parking underneath the building, a personal heater so you can adjust the temperature to exactly how you want it in your room, a TV, and more. The downside is that because this is one of the cheapest hotels in the area, of course, a business to offer a lower price, they also have to make up for those costs elsewhere – some of the carpets in the public spaces are not clean or new, there is also a strong air freshener odor for the huge number they had in the halls.

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.

Overall really liked the property! Great staff, kind, courteous, amenable to needs of guest! Like the convenience of pool & gym & free garage parking on property and that you can park on the level that your room is on. Beds were comfortable although too low to the floor for me. Room & bathrooms were clean! Only down side but not under property's control is people walking down the street at 2-3:00 am being loud, screaming or laughing that startled me awake several times. Maybe not so bad on higher floors. Had a great time, will definitely stay again!
