The Bellmoor Inn & Spa

We have stayed at the Bellmoor for the past 2 years for a quick beach weekend, and it is very nice. Great location to the beach and all attractions, and this year they began providing a «shuttle» to and from the beach, which is very convenient. The staff are fantastic, very helpful and accommodating. The spa is great, I take advantage of it each year and love it every time. This year I had a Swedish massage with Roxanne, and she was great! The breakfast provided by the Inn is also very good, if you want a quick breakfast with the basics plus a couple of extras.
I would have given the Inn 5 stars except for the following items that we felt downgraded the Inn:
1. The breakfast includes an omelet station; however, this year instead of having the station out in the general breakfast area, they had it hidden in a conference room off to the side, and a sign outside the room that you couldn’t see. So we missed the omelets altogether, and we were very disappointed. They need to move it out of the conference room and back to the main breakfast area so guests do not miss it.
2. The rooms do not have any movie channels. Usually this is not an issue when we are at the beach, but this year we had a rain day and so we really wanted to just relax and watch a movie, but there were no options for this.
3. Water pressure in the shower would go off and on, meaning one minute you have great shower pressure, and the next it would go weak. It would go back and forth for the entire time you are in the shower. For the price of the hotel, I think solid, consistent strong shower pressure should be expected.
4. The Wifi is TERRIBLE! They have free wifi, but it was intermittent at best. And soooooooo slow. We could not utilize it at all on our iPads, it was extremely frustrating. Again, for the price you pay, the least you should be able to get is good wifi.

Amazing stay… accommodating staff, quiet, comfortable, clean and friendly. Within the lovely compound boasting shaded courtyards, pools, fitness center, stately sitting areas, library and spa, it is easy to forget that you are a block away from the heart of Rehoboth and only a few blocks from the beach (but Paul will gladly give you a lift in the golf cart!). If you need anythjng during your stay, ask, and it’s done with a smile. The Bellmoor Inn is everything that other establishments should strive for. Thanks for a great long weekend!

My fiancé and I have stayed here twice in the past 2 years. We’re 35 and 46 no kids and we love it! Heads up, it’s probably not the place to stay if you’re under 30 and looking for the party scene. For that stay on the boardwalk or go over to Dewey. However, if you’re looking for a lovely, peaceful, and indulgent get-​a-​way in the heart of Rehoboth the Bellmoor is the only choice.
Pros
— Their hospitality is unrivaled. I asked for a Washington Post but they were all out by the time I arrived downstairs for breakfast. Rick, one of the staff members, went out and bought me one from the local corner store and hand delivered it to my table!
–Abundant continental breakfast included in the price of the room. Includes fresh squeezed juices and a fresh omelet station!
–Lovely court yard to have breakfast and read the paper while the birds jump back and forth between bird baths.
–4^th floor is reserved for adults only so no screaming children.
–close to the boardwalk, the beach scene and nightlife.
Love the Bellmoor and will certainly return.

My wife and I decided last minute (9am that morning) to take a quick overnight trip to Rehobeth Beach for our anniversary. A quick review of the area hotels led me to book an evening at the Bellmoor. I’m so glad we did.
Saul answered the phone that morning and helped me select a room (The Carolina Suite) which was appropriate for our anniversary. He was friendly and knowledgeable and made the process easy (I usually book online). His room descriptions were helpful because the pictures on their website don’t really do the rooms justice.
We arrived that evening around 5:30. Julius welcomed us and checked us in. He explained all of the amenities and even provided a quick tour of the hotel and took us to the room. Once there, we were blown away with the view and attention to detail throughout the suite and for that matter, the hotel in general.
Julius helped us make a selection for a dinner location by reviewing menu’s they had on file and discussing his personal experiences at each of the options. His suggestion was perfect.
Upon returning from dinner, Julius and the staff assisted us in locating a liquor store so we could grab some scotch as a night cap. They went so far as to actually call around to several locations to find one that was open. When we returned, we were greeted by a very nice bottle of champagne and a very nice card from the GM wishing us the best on our anniversary and thanking us for staying with them.
The views of the town and the ocean from our room were great. The room was VERY clean and well stocked. The «Club Level» was fantastic and definitely provided a sanctuary from Rehobeth’s active night scene. Card access to the floor was a nice touch.
Parking on site was plentiful and even had a charging station for Teslas and a standard charging port for other plug in hybrids. Points for being progressive.
Breakfast in the morning was very nice with a lot of options from eggs, bacon and sausage to french toast and made-​to-​order omelettes.
My only regret was not staying longer. We are already planning future visits. This could easily become our quick getaway spot from this point forward.

A few friends and I stayed two nights early this past summer (may 2014). The staff were all extremely nice and helpful. The rooms were very clean and up to date. Most impressive was breakfast. Being on the road for a while, the same old buffet food gets old. The Bellmoor’s buffet was innovative, fresh and delicious.

Garden rooms furnished from Days Inn fire sale. Shabby & small but high priced. Management stops caring after they have your credit card info. There are many nicer & more luxurious places in Rehoboth that offer better value for your money.

i highly recommend it. The room is stayed in was in an annex building and it was not as nice as i hoped but all around this place is awesome. Service was the best, the Hotel is super nice, i think the rooms are nicer in the main hotel. I absolutely loved my stay. The spa was great but i give a special thank you to the girl who did my facial. She was awesome. I wish i remembered her name. When the reply to this i hope they put her name so everyone can request her!!!

Doesn’t matter what the reason is, you will LOSE full room price for cancellation. I was in a vehicle accident with no car. They charged me $ 500 for the night and when I wrote them to explain the situation, they said I can reuse it at any time, but BE WARE. Here is the catch… Every time I tried to use the night I paid $ 500 for, they tell me I have to book minimum 2 nights in order for them to charge me another night stay! Scam scam! Lost $ 500 because I was in a car accident.

Great Inn! Super clean rooms, friendly staff and the location is perfect! We will be back.

I spent the weekend with a friend and we enjoyed the Bellmoor Inn very much. The service was excellent. The rooms are lovely and spacious. The buffet breakfast is relaxing and good. It is served in a very lovely, sun filled room and it is a pleasure to sit and enjoy the gardens, read the paper and have a nice buffet breakfast. We spent a few hours at the spa and Tricia gave an excellent facial. I will return again soon with my husband because I so enjoyed this Inn. When I return, I will stay on one of the adult only floors because the setting on those floors and rooms are even nicer than the one we stayed in. I do recommend the newest building. There are two pools. The Bellmoor Inn is very close to the center of town and to the beach. We walked everywhere. We did go off season end of April. I can well imagine it is far busier during the summer months but am sure that the staff still creates a relaxing environment. Free indoor parking is provided.

The grounds are beautiful and the rooms are very nicely decorated and are very clean. As others have mentioned the service charge on top of a pricey place to stay leaves much to be desired.
The bed in our bedroom was so uncomfortable it was hard to sleep… I can’t imagine that anyone finds the beds relaxing. From 7am-​10am it sounded like a step aerobics class was going on in the room above us… jumping, running across the room, I am not sure if there were kids going crazy or the staff was doing Zumba. I called the front desk and that yielded no results.
The other issue was the free breakfast. It looked nice & I was hungry! I went to get tea and poured hot water out of the carafe, there were black things floating in the water (as in the do not clean the carafes properly) I thought maybe it was the CUP, but I tried again and more gross brown floaters… I then did the same with coffee. coffee is brown, but upon looking really close, I could see more floaters. I looked around as all the people in the dining room sipped on their delicious free cup of sludge and after the people working in the dining room seemed to not even care (not even a little), i left and went to Dunkin Donuts for coffee and tea.
It was nice and charming on the outside, but sadly I will not return.

We recently stayed at the Bellmoor in Rehoboth for a 3 day getaway. When I travel to the beach, I normally go to the cheapest spot because I don’t plan on spending any time in the room. This trip was our ‘babymoon’ so I wanted something a little nicer. I was pleasantly surprised that the Bellmoor had down comforters and pillows, instead of those cheap, stiff sheets your normally get at a Holiday Inn. We stayed in a garden room which was really nice and quiet because it was the off season but can see how it would get noisy with other vacationers after Memorial Day. The complimentary breakfast was nicer than the usual — with more fresh fruit/​coffee options than you usually get, and I loved the overall feel of the Inn, with the charming décor.
The only downside was (as someone else stated), that the pools are the size of hot tubs and you are actually a very looong 2 blocks from the beach.
You are also paying top dollar for everything, including the 9% service charge which I didn’t know about until I got my bill. The off season price was affordable but not sure I would ever stay here during beach season because of the rates. With all that said, this was still the nicest hotel experience I’ve ever had at an east coast beach.

The Bellmoor is solid *for Rehoboth*, a beach town that’s seriously overpriced for what it is, since it’s within reasonable driving distance to major population centers. There is not a lot of competition really.
The interior of the hotel is very nice, and the interior courtyard is pretty and peaceful – a nice spot to drink coffee, read a book, or work (wifi works better out there than in the rooms).
The garden rooms are fine, although the bed was pretty bad – poor quality mattress I’d say.
Housekeepers yammering away and laughing at 8 am right outside the doors – not good.
What spoils this place is the management’s insistence on adding a 9% «service fee» that is not warranted in any respect – and they hide it as much as possible. When you’re paying top price at busy times, that’s going to be substantial, and you’re getting very little for it. Being underhanded like this is a deal-​breaker.

An all around great place to stay! The customer service is exquisite and the morning breakfast a tasty way to start the morning. Due to flight delays, we wandered in about 1am to a friendly gentleman who checked us in quickly and walked us to our room which was great because we would have had a tough time finding it on our own.
We had two issues that we brought to the front desk the next morning, we needed an extra blanket for the fold out bed and the heater needed l oohing over as it clattered all night. Both were remedied by the time we returned from lunch which was great.
Lastly, the hotel is situated a block from the main drag and only a few blocks from the ocean. This meant a quiet neighborhood that was close enough to all the action,.
I shall miss those morning mini-​scones, thanks Bellmoor!

I travel to The Bellmoor toward the end of winter every year. I’m sorry to say that this once great establishment is in decline — both facilities and service — and no longer lives up to its reputation as a high-​end boutique hotel. Quite disappointing after years of stellar service.
Update: I contacted the establishment after my visit and outlined the issues that arose during my visit. I’m happy to say that they were prompt in their reply, and to make up for the poor service, pre-​booked their most expensive room for me next year at a steep discount and offered complimentary spa service. I appreciate businesses that stand by their service I will definitely give them another shot.

If you are looking to stay at an inn with class in a town filled with scruffy lodges then this is the place for you. Stayed there in October when all was rather quiet so don’t know how perfect everything works in the hectic summer beach season. But all was top-​drawer then and included free parking. Highly recommended.

It’s very expensive, but the location is great. I originally booked in the cottage, which I regretted and later moved. All they had available was a suite, which was lovely, but not worth the price. (PS, there is no reliable WiFi in the cottage area).
The service was terrific and their complimentary breakfast is a really nice amenity. They do not provide beach towels, like most hotels in Rehoboth, and their pools aren’t that great.
But from my research, if you want great service, clean beds and a good location (one block from the main strip), The Bellmoor Inn is a nice find.

We stayed in the Dagsworthy suite last weekend and found it to be exactly what we were looking for: An upscale, quiet place to unwind on a quick getaway. Our room was not huge, but had a small deck, fireplace, jacuzzi tub and very comfortable king-​sized bed.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. They were out of the (amazing!) robes we wanted to purchase and offered the ones in our room at a discount or to ship us new ones when they came in. We would definitely stay there again. It seems ideal as a quieter place to escape the crowds during peak season yet still be a block or two from the beach.
Pros: Friendly, helpful staff; free breakfast buffet with omelet bar; free WiFi; quiet yet convenient location.
Cons: Old, CRT TV; jacuzzi wasn’t the best I’ve had in comparable rooms.

There are places I remember… no, I’m not in the throws of a Beatle’s song, I’m just sitting here relishing in the experience we had at the Bellmoor Inn this past weekend.
This is an oasis in the middle of the Rehoboth Beach downtown district tucked around the corner and almost hidden from all the shops, restaurants and sun worshipers. You enter the main entrance and are instantly transported to a serene comfortable reception area and greeted by the most gracious hosts. Once checked in you are given a quick personal tour of where you’ll dine in the morning, the library, a quick overview of the spa and pool/​hot tub amenities. As swiftly as you complete the check in process you are greeted by a young man who takes care of assisting you with luggage and guiding you to your room.
The room was atop the 3^rd floor of the Palmer House — adorable, comfortable and as with every room in this section of the Inn there were two Adirondak chairs facing the horizon perched on a mini balcony. Standard hotel hair dryer, TV with HBO (no pay for channels), coffee/​tea maker, King size pillow-​top bed, a huge comfy chair and ottoman, petite desk and sweet smelling shampoo/​conditioner/​lotion and soap if you didn’t bring your own. The striking point for me, was how sparking clean this room was… the white tiled bathroom was spotless — even the grout was as white as the tile! 12 gold stars!
Breakfast, included in your room cost, was simply outstanding! Omlet station, hot service of applewood smoked bacon, fresh Pennsylvania sausages, pancakes, fresh yogurt with homemade granola, fresh fruit, cereals and of course juice/​coffee/​tea to complete the feast! In the afternoon there is a French tea… mini chocolate eclairs, petit fours, mini cheesecakes and shortbread cookies… and the hot wonderful tea of course. The concierge hosted the tea and provided a bit of a tour of history around the origins of taking tea which was delightful.
Here is the point that captured me — I had mentioned during our check in and our gracious host was giving our tour that we might be considering a massage or other spa offering… during our breakfast the next morning he came by to see how we were doing and actually remembered what I had said. Not only did he remember, he had taken the time to peek at the spa schedule and mentioned some time slots that were still available! I did take advantage of getting a pedicure, one of the best I’ve ever had I might add.
We were so fortunate to have stayed for 2 lovely days and cannot wait till we can return. The check out process was as enjoyable as when we arrived… Jim assisted me and I let him know that I was part of the Unilocal community and I know he will be viewing this one. The high quality of customer service offered here prompted me to ask if in fact one of the staff might be a principle in this establishment… he was not, but the point is you find the staff approaching their roles as if they do have a stake in the experience each guest will have during their stay. If I could offer over 5 stars for this Inn, I would!

Great spot for a weekend getaway! The location is great — just 1 block from the main street, near the heart of downtown Rehoboth Beach. Super close to the beach, shops and restaurants. There is a spa in the hotel (which we didn’t use) and also an outdoor pool and whirlpool.
It has the coziness of a bed and breakfast, but the amenities of a upscale hotel. They also have a great complimentary breakfast spread — omelet station, fresh berries, cereal, and hot station. Great place to relax, have fun and soak up the sun!
