Stay was very nice. No wifi, but otherwise great. Terrific location to beach, food, bars.

Great to be able to walk 20 steps to beach.

Our stay was quite awful. I will never stay there again. We ended up cutting our trip short and leaving on Saturday because we did not want to stay there another night. We stayed in Room 14. Upon walking in the room the smell was overwhelming musty/moldy. I turned the wall air conditioner onto “dry” and this did not help. The bathroom sink was covered in hair and dust, as well as the bathtub that was in such poor shape I definitely did not use it. A communal campground bathroom is in far better shape. Upon pulling down the sheets to get into bed, we found more of some else’s hair, in both beds. It looks like whoever “cleaned” the room just pulled the quilt up and made the bed without changing the sheets. Upon further inspection, the bed closest to the bathroom has dried vomit on the box spring on the side closest to the wall. I requested new sheets, and the “clean” sheets I was brought (to make the bed myself, I might add) also had hair in the pillow cases. We ended up putting our beach towels on top of the beds and sleeping on those. This hotel is also dog friendly- but the entire property is covered in rocks. There is no place to walk your dog to relieve themselves. I paid $200 per night off season at the end of September. I have paid less for a 4 star hotel in Sydney Australia with a room overlooking the Sydney Opera House. This hotel is a rip off you should stay far away from.

I'll start by saying I am not a picky person by any means, so this hotel was absolutely fine by my standards. I would feel bad if I didn't mention the 3 year expired shampoo samples and the toilet so close to the tub/wall, I had to sit on it sideways. Haha but no bugs, ac worked fine and besides the blind being broken so you could see in the room, it was as good of a room as any! Worth it to be near the ocean. Oh, also, the parking lot is all rocks and there is no elevator, so it is not handicap accessible.

Great location steps from beach and PET FRIENDLY!!!

The reception lady was fine and the night shift gentleman was fine. The hotel needs a facelift (it is outdated). It is a minute walking from the beach. Nice area and family friendly. There is an ice machine near the front desk.

The bathroom was dirty. The microwave had dried on food in it. I booked for 4 people but we only had 2 towels. We had to take our own trash out. Topping it all off there were less than a half dozen people there and they put us on the 3rd floor. We were very unhappy.

Great distance from the beach and very friendly staff. Would definitely revisit.

Overall this hotel has a good location, just a block away from the beach and within walking distance of bars and food. The AC unit is good and able to keep the room at 62F if that's your thing. The condition of the room is questionable! Whoever did the caulk job in the bathroom should look at another career - sorry. The outside needs some touch-up, and the inside needs some touch up too as there are cracks in the ceiling. The amount I paid for the weekend, I would manage they would do a better job on upkeep instead of pocketing it. Also, do some upgrades to the place. Let's be real if you're looking for a place to sleep, party, and stay outside most of the time. Then this place is OK but if you want a nicer place then look somewhere else.

we loved being that close to the ocean... and that our pet was welcome on the beach. we loved your helpful staff... very personable, helpful folk. we did not like the fact that there was no designated "spot" for our dog to walk/potty. we did not like the bathroom configuration, nor the fact that there was carpet in the room. all our other dog friendly rooms had vinyl flooring, which smells fresher, easier to clean up any dogfood spills, and is what our dog is used to.

Property def needs upgrades. Staff was super friendly.

We went for the doodle romp weekend. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Hotel is close to everything.

Traffic and Pedestrian noises at night were disturbing. Hotel can do nothing about those.

I love chatting with Cathy!

The rooms need major updating. Everything is old and worn out. The bed and bedding were uncomfortable and old. The floors looked dirty. There was barely any hot water. And they say no smoking, but there was a steady stream of smoke smell coming from a panel in my bathroom. Very sub par. The only thing that was decent was the refrigerator. And the walls were paper thin. I could hear conversations a dog barking in the room next to me, and people talking outside the motel until 3am. I would not recommend this motel if you are used to any kind of standards.

Location was perfect for a quick weekend get away!

My wife and I had a wonderful stay at this motel. We were looking for a last minute booking that accepts dogs and stumbled across the Sea Esta 1. The staff couldn’t have been friendlier. I even lost my cell phone which was found by one employee and returned to the office who then got it back to me. I plan on going again next year.

Short walk to beach. Yes, the Sea Esta 1 is an old (landmark) building, but the room was very clean and served our needs for our short visit. Great breakfast right next door to the hotel.

Excellent

Great location, pet friendly, everything in the room worked The carpet was a bit musty smelling

Great location and friendly service. It is a place I would stay if I were 18 and it was beach week. It seem cleaned, but very old and could use some renovations.

Everything was fine

The location is the best thing in this hotel. I like it that is it one block away from the beach. It is also very near the amenities so you can just walk around if you need anything. Lastly, I love it that I can bring my fur-babies with me on this stay.

The location was perfect. A free parking spot was provided. The room was outdated but that was expected, the AC ran well though.

Far from a 5☆ hotel..but its perfect for my vet awsy needs..clean,perfect loc,great staff..love it!!Ap

Reasonable pricing for peak season within easy walking distance to the beach & area businesses and restaurants. Clean with a very retro vibe. A fun place to stay!

Great location and parking was easy! Location is a block to the beach and walking distance to everything Dewey or the Jolley Trolley to go to Rehoboth. This great of a location and for this good price, I knew there would be a few things to overlook. The biggest things to overlook is the dated room decor, damp carpet, mildew smell, and the very, very dated bathroom.

It is the PERFECT location. So close to the beach, walkable to all the fun bars and restaurants.
