Boardwalk Plaza Hotel, Rehoboth Beach

This was our first trip to Rehoboth and we chose this hotel since it was right on the boardwalk and had the best reviews. The reviews were right, this hotel had great service, close to the beach, wonderful room, and walking distance to shops and restaurants. The Victoria restaurant had great food, loved breakfast. The dinner time meal was pricey and even though there is no dress code, it seemed more appropriate to be dressed up a little bit. The hotel is ideally located close to the main drag with the shops and restaurants to walk to and far enough away so the beach in front is not crowded. If you have no children, I would suggest paying the extra for the concierge floor to have access to the rooftop. The views are worth it! I would also recommend you visit the little fish and chip restaurant Go Fish!....it has superb food and is reasonably priced for a restaurant located on the main drag. But be warned it is small inside. Also you are close to the Tanger Outlets and they have many fast food and sit down restaurants, which offer a cheaper option at meal time. It is very easy to get to them.

In my many years of staying at hotels all over the country and all over the world, I have never been treated with such disrespect by such an incompetent staff. The absolute WORST hotel I have ever stayed at in my entire life! I wouldn't wish this hotel on my worst enemy! DO NOT STAY HERE...you will regret it! Spend your money elsewhere, the Henlopen Hotel a couple of blocks away is a much, much better choice for a fraction of the cost of this dump.

Loved Rehoboth. Hotel wasn't quite what we expected. Got there on a Saturday. Big mistake!!! Hundreds, perhaps thousands of beach dwellers. I can't say with absolute certainty whether non-hotel guests were using the parking at the hotel, but they had rooms available, yet all of the parking spaces were taken. Ended up parking in the street. Better than driving around for 4 hours when I could be having a good time with my family. Got 2 tickets, $30 each within 18 hours. The hotel was quaint. Staff was a little flat and distant. Think I caught them in a lie. Turns out my credit card was declined. I got there and they claimed they had called me, but there was no message on my answering machine and my caller ID showed no calls from the hotel. The reason for the decline was that I had just received a new card. The ran the card through the day before my arrival, and I had made reservations a week in advance. Luckily, the room was still available and I put it on another care. I would say, be careful with this one.

If you like antiques, you will like this hotel. Antiques are everywhere (Gaudy victorian style) and where there aren't antiques, there are reproductions of antiques. The staff was friendly. The restaurant was snobby and it didn't seem like they wanted to serve me and my three guests (we weren't dressed for it). The food took forever to arrive. The indoor/outdoor pool is nice, but not very large. It could easily get crowded. There is no pool that is completely indoors, we were hit with a lightning storm one evening and could not access the pool inside or out so there was an amenity that we paid for but could not use. We stayed on the more expensive concierge floor and on one of the regular floors. The only difference was rooftop access. The only thing on the rooftop is a nice view and a four person jacuzzi that was unbearably cold (91 degrees) on the first night that we went. Also, there are no kids allowed on the concierge level which makes it nice to stay there. Most of the staff was really friendly and helpful, I can't say enough good about them. The bartenders, the servers, we felt like we lucked out everytime we dealt with staff. The hotel is very gay friendly and we had no problems with that. I can't justify the price for the amenities, the view was spectacular, but I would think that I could have gotten the same thing from the hotel next door, next time, I might try it. Room service was quick and so were requests for extra towels and the like. If you have never been to rehoboth... Go.. its a very nice and charming beach town. The beach closes at one and the patrol are like mall guards. They take their job very seriously, so if you want to take a night walk among the beach, do it before one. No one could explain the purpose of this rule to me, but we do so love our rules. I would recommend the hotel, but only if you have exra money to burn.

For the money, you would expect much, much more. There were holes in the wall around our sink. The wallpaper was peeling off too. The carpets in our room had not been vacuumed. The toilet was loose and rocked like a hobby horse. The tub needed recaulking. I could go on. Any Hampton Inn is better than this place and 1/4 the price.

What is there not to like about The Boardwalk Plaza Hotel-if you love life you will feel that you are the most important person in the world. My husband and have been going to your beautiful hotel for 3 year before we moved to Georgetown and for 5 wonderful years after moving to Delaware for a total of 8 years. We stay there every year and feel like they are a part our family because I could not think of a better way to spend Thanksgiven, New Years Eve, Christmas, Easter and Valentines Day. Everyday is a vacation for us now because of your excellent service, location, cleanliness and value. Thank you for being there while all the lights were out in most areas and given so much of yourselves. Marti and Joe

I was there for my honey moon. I loved the charm, and friendly professional staff. the restaraunt was beautiful, and elegant. The food was delicious. Room service was prompt. The ocean view was captivating and very romantic even in the winter time. The one complaint I do have is that I think the mattresses on the beds should be a bit more firm for people that are short or elderly. they would need a foot stool to get in bed.

This summer has been the fifth time we have stayed at the Boardwalk Plaza during our vacations at Rehoboth Beach. We have always been impressed with the unparalleled level of service this hotel has to offer. It has a warm, inviting atmosphere which can readily be sensed as soon as you walk through its doors. The rooms are immaculate, the beds comfortable, and the location perfect. All the staff members and employees we have encountered were more than friendly and willing to offer their assistance in whatever we needed. Victoria's Restaurant, which is located on the main floor, is the perfect place to enjoy a delicious meal without leaving the hotel. Perhaps it's because this hotel is such a magnificent place that it's always difficult for us to pack our suitcases to head home on check-out day.

i would like this place, because i love the beach, and this makes it convenient to go to the BEST BEACH EVER with out having any trouble or taking any time. WOULD LOVE TO GO HERE SOME TIME SOOONNN!!!!!

VERY overpriced and I have been to many luxury hotels and this doesn't even approach a 2 star in my opinion. Dirty, extremely extremely rude, bizarre and quirky staff. I hear the restaurant is very good but I didn't stay long enough to find out. I checked out after a few hours and I am amazed that anyone stays there. The rooms are outdated, have odors and are in disrepair. There was a lingering odor of mildew and body odor all over the place. The television was static ridden and unwatchable. The staff was the topper on the cake, I was astounded. Please go anywhere else but here, unless they start charging $69 a night it is a waste of money.
