Microtel Inn & Suites Dover

Pros:
Price was $ 70
Room was quiet
Blackout curtains if you want to sleep in
Cons:
Price at front desk is $ 5 more than online. Yes, you can go outside, book online, and save $ 5. Ridiculous.
There are 2 parking lots: front and back. I had to park in back and there is no back door. You have to walk around the building, down a gully, to the front of the building.
Wi-​fi. A whopping 1.0 Mbs. Is this DSL powered by gerbils on a tread-​wheel?
Skip the free breakfast. Coffee is instant, there are toasters and cream cheese, but no bagels or toast. There was yogurt (2 left) and heat and eat things that appear to be scrambled egg and sausage.
Room appeared clean initially, but then I saw the wet bar sink in the morning was grossed out. Ick. Had not been cleaned and was gross.
I’ll pass next trip.

First off, the name says it all. We stayed during our thanksgiving travels with an infant and 8 year old. The room was clean, had enough space for the pack and play, and the beds were adequately blanketed and clean. It’s no elite hotel, but it is no gross super 8 or motel 6 either. The price was fantastic, but probably due to the off season. 74 out the door. The have a small parking lot but a decent size enclosed basement parking garage. This was awesome as we needed to repack the car and it was cold and rainy.
The breakfast is nothing hearty but free food nevertheless. We had a pastry to hold us over to some other options. There is a food lion, wawa, and McDonald’s right in the vicinity.
This is right off the 1 and literally outside the base gate.
If you need a hotel and are passing through Delaware, I’d stop here.

Well it’s ok but if you see more than two cars in the parking lot forget getting on the Internet. Rooms are ok fairly new. Breakfast is there but is just above coffee and donuts. Did I mention the wifi doesn’t work half the time.

Pros:
Close to base.
Relatively new.
Cons:
–Pack n plays used as cribs. Lady gave me crap about requesting one when I checked in. Dropped it off in my room unassembled. Did not provide sheet for pack n play crib. Dirty, stained pack n play did not latch properly– it collapsed on my kiddo.
–Been here two days, have not cleaned room yet. Have to go to front desk and request towels for second day in a row. Have not put ‘Do not disturb’ sign on door, so don’t know why they didn’t come. Hopefully they will clean tomorrow.
–Fridge smelled like mold. The putrid rotten milk kind of moldy smell. However, a nice guy at front desk did replace.
–Towel rack is falling off wall.
–Tape is holding shower handle bar to wall.
Overall, this hotel is sliding. It was nice a few years ago, but maintenance is falling behind. Hopefully they can get back on track before the building’s maintenance goes beyond the point of no return.

I booked a room here a day in advance during a busy music festival weekend and checked in around 2. The room was already prepared (check in is at 3) and clean. The bathroom was orderly, clean and presentable. The room offered a desk, fridge, pull out couch, table, countertop, TV, wifi, several outlets, good lighting, clean bed and several mirrors. There were no issues with AC and breakfast served until 9:30. Check out was at 11. The hotel was great for the priceand the staff was friendly and helpful.

Rooms are super clean and spacious! The entire hotel is clean, well taken care of and even smells nice! There is plenty of parking (even a garage) and the proprietors are incredibly kind and welcoming! Not to mention the gorgeous view! The best mircrotel I have ever stayed at!

Best Microtel I’ve stayed in! Very large clean single room with pullout sofa and beautiful view.

We got stuck at this hotel when the rest of our choices were booked. The beds were horrible and the rooms were not impressive. The quality definitely did not correspond with the price.

Mixed results here on two different nights. First we spent one night here on Saturday night. Very good results that night. Room was clean and everything worked great. We checked out Sunday morning and everything was fine. Since this was a holiday weekend we decided to stay another night on Sunday night. Checked back in on Sunday late afternoon. Got to the room and it had not been made ready. Bathroom stripped of towels and bed without sheets or covers. Had to request a new room. New room seemed ok, but it was a hot day and the Air Conditioning for this room did not work very well. Temperature never got to a comfortable level. Spent the night in a too warm room. Also noticed a few ants crawling around on the walls. Not enough to be alarmed about, but did not make me feel like I would want to stay here again.

You know what this place was not that bad. I did not want to stay here, but we were 100% stuck in Dover, DE after hopping in on a military flight and we were desperate for a place to stay. We called and she held a room for us, which I appreciated to no end. She was wonderful to us at check in and extremely helpful.
Our room had a window bed, which was awesome. We have three kids, so I love a room that can accommodate all of us comfortably.

Wouldn’t be my 1^st choice but it’s free while I’m on orders so I won’t be picky. It’s also really close to the base which makes for a pleasent commute. Each floor has vending machines, the staff is nice. This hotel has a great view if you get a room on the back side of the hotel and there’s a nice 3 mile trail that starts directly behind the hotel.
The Downside. … the washing machine and dryer are on the 3^rd floor and it isn’t free plus the washer and dryer units are old a crusty. You have to climb flights of stairs to get to your room with luggage and all items in tow, unless you want to walk halfway down a long hallway and wait for the elevator and walk back down a long hallway. The elevator is slow. Do not count on their free breakfast as with most hotels but this one is worse than avg. For me it’s just a place to stay for a few weeks until I go home… I wouldn’t vacation here though unless the rate was low and I wanted the view and the nice trail close by.

Stayed here following the fall race at Dover Speedway. If you’re looking for a place to rest your head, close to the speedway, after a long day watching the race /​tailgating, then this will do the job. But be prepared to overpay for it and don’t expect much.
Room was very small, very little space to walk as the bed took up most of the room. Toilet seat was stained from bleach (it was clean though). Didn’t really need a/​c but the window only opened 3 inches (no fan to circulate air). TV was not a flat screen (not even the lobby had a flat screen set). Overhead light fixture randomly turned itself off for 15 mins.
Water fountains in the lobby were gross (not that I planned to use it but I happened to notice). complementary breakfast items in the lobby cleared out a bit early I thought
Water pressure in the shower stung because it came out so hard. My friends in the room next door, showering at a different time, said there shower was like a trickle of water ?
All the value in what I was charged had to do with proximity to the track. On a non race weekend I’m sure there are plenty of better and equally as affordable options in the dover area.

I stayed in this hotel for 4 days. Friendly staff however, this is the first hotel I’ve stayed in that doesn’t have a automatic door. I struggled carrying my luggages while opening the door at the same time. Parking is also limited. They do have underground parking but sign show that no SUV parking. I was disappointed with the room. The bed is hard. It’s like sleeping on a cardboard box. I believe that this hotel is pretty new but the hotel inside doesn’t look like it. There’s tv in the room however it’s box tv. 2^nd floor smells like old wet dog. There two couch by the hall way which looks like it was picked up from a sidewalk. Hotel doesn’t have a gym or a pool which sucks. Free breakfast was a joke! There’s only one computer for customer use by the front desk but when I used it to print it didn’t work. The hotel provided a recycle box in the room which shows they are environment friendly.
