Top Downtown Bethany Beach Hotel Reviews

Princess Royale Oceanfront Resort

10/10 Excellent

"My great niece and I had an overnight girls trip, we had a great time. Loved our room and frint desk person was so friendly"

Holiday Inn & Suites Ocean City by IHG

8/10 Good

"The oceanfront views were absolutely spectacular and easily one of the highlights of our stay! The bed and linens were incredibly comfortable, and the food was delicious. There were a few areas that could use improvement. The shower/tub combination was difficult to get in and out of, and the shower itself was disappointing. The living room also felt a bit dark and could benefit from better lighting. Additionally, odors from neighboring rooms were occasionally quite overpowering, although I recognize that may be difficult for the hotel to control. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, especially the beautiful views, comfortable accommodations, and excellent food. With a few updates, the experience could be even better!"

Bethany Beach Ocean Suites Residence Inn by Marriott

10/10 Excellent

"Our experience as a whole was excellent. The hotel is beautiful and location is excellent. The hotel restaurant was excellent. Very delicious crab cake! That being said, the hotel is starting to show wear. Our bathroom door was warped from water damage. The sink was clogged. The bathroom mirror lighting needed replaced. I did call the front desk and maintenance came right away. The sink was fixed. They could not fix the lighting as they did not have the parts. The main part of our suite had cobwebs. I know it’s off season, but I would think this is the time to have the property maintenance done before the busy season starts. It’s a great hotel and I will go back."
