Hotel Bethany Beach
Loved my time there. Great location, a mini golf course, and several shops within the same block. Beach is only a few min walk away. Note though that there is a $10/day parking fee.

Grand Hotel of Cape May
It was definitely my best stay, everything went even better than expected! My room (queen) was amazing, and well maintained, it was more like a studio. I would definitely recommend it.

Hotel Wave Rehoboth Beach
The staff was incredibly kind and helpful. The room and hotel could’ve been cleaner. I also wish the pool was not freezing. It was great for the price but definitely has a lot of room for improvement.
