Right in the heart of downtown Lewes, this remodeled gem offers convenience for the vacation traveler and a warm welcome and an attentive "aim to please" staff. It isn't to the same level as one expects to find in major hotels in large cities but, the rooms are clean, albeit small (except for the suite), carefully serviced and very comfortable.... More

This is a hotel that has the feel a bit of a bed and breakfast on the one and, and a NY hotel on the other. The rooms are small but comfortable. Everything was 100% clean. The elevator is actually pretty cool to ride on. The staff had a genuine friendliness about them. Parking, while not ultra convenient is not... More

My husband and I stayed here for the weekend recently after purchasing a Groupon for an executive or deluxe room. The hotel itself is very nice, an older hotel with a modern feel. There is a nice little lobby and a restaurant/pub attached to it which had very good food and drinks. It's in a good location, right in downtown... More

My husband and I usually stay at the Rodney whenever we are in the Lewes/Rehoboth area. The hotel is located in the heart of downtown Lewes and the historic district, within walking distance to restaurants, shops, and churches and a 5-10 minute drive to Lewes Beach. Rodney is a gem. The rooms are smallish, but well-appointed and comfortable. There is... More

We found this quaint boutique hotel via Groupon. I went with a group of friends/ couples as a weekend get away March 15, 2013. This hotel is best for couples looking to get away and spend some quality time. I will tell you the walls are paper thin. You hear everything. The hotel is extremely clean, beautiful and the staff...

Wife and I stayed here for a weekend in February. Although I have been to Lewis many times on fishing excursions, I never knew this hotel or little market area existed. Thanks to A Groupon deal, a 2 night stay here seemed very affordable-almost too good to be true. Upon booking, the hotel told us the Groupon was good for... More

We wanted to do something different this year so we booked ourselves in to the Hotel Rodney for a two night stay, despite the fact we only live 8 miles from the hotel. Its the perfect location for enjoying all the great shops in Lewes, the lovely neighborhoods to walk through, and the numerous yummy restaurants to eat. The newly... More

I have never signed up to do Trip Advisor before, and just had to after recently visiting Lewes, DE and Hotel Rodney. I have been coming to Lewes/Rehoboth for 20 plus years, but normally just renting a house during the summer months. I got the urge to get away and go see the ocean, so I looked up local hotels...

Had been here years ago with a friend and my toddler before its makeover/ownership change, and had fond memories. We had secured the room for two nights through Groupon, and were assigned a double executive room. Before reserving, I asked about the possibility of an upgrade (75 a night), which I offered to pay for. Unfortunately, all they could do... More
