Days Inn by Wyndham Dover

Had to change rooms after first night due to smell, uncleanliness and shower control handle missing. Room smelled of cigarette smoke, cat pee, and heavy cleaner, though carpet was filthy. Second room was better, but not by much. Several spiders found in room. Parking lot was littered with cigarette butts of those coming out to smoke then going back to rooms. Had to sign for$500 cleaning fee if smoking in room. A/C air smelt of mold and mildew. Pool was closed for maintenance (looked permanent). Breakfast area was full of boxes and was not tended or cleaned, ran out of supply regularly. Breakfast food choices extremely limited. Coffee only (no decaf) always out of juice and breads/muffins. Housekeeping was haphazard. Dirty linens in bin remained in parking lot overnight in the rain. Location was great in Dover. The price was lower than other options, now I know why. Staff was not always helpful or upfront or timely with the promises they made. Have pictures. Could have been a great place.

I am sorry but I cannot give a good review for The Downtown Dover Inn. It's too bad because the location in downtown Dover is so great! The place could really be fantastic but it turns out the location isn't everything in this particular case. I felt uncomfortable with the people who hang around in the parking lot acting sketchy and seeming to have no purpose there. The door lock was not great at all, and I am older woman traveling alone with my granddaughter and I did not feel secure at all. The outside entrances to the building were also not secure. The breakfast was absolutely terrible - unclean, hardly any edible food, and no one around to ask any questions. The bedding was clean and the bed was comfortable. The overall cleanliness of the room was fine, but the building itself was not clean. This place really needs to start from scratch and get rid of the people hanging around for no reason.

Clean. Quiet. Location within walking distance to Strand Theater and many restaurants. Newly renovated. Very nice pool, just the right size. Ask for 1st floor if stairs are an issue. Nice thick towels. Cable. Free WiFi. Park at your door if you're on 1st floor. Front desk staff will very helpful with directions.

The Downtown Dover Inn had only been open 1 week after its remodel from a Days Inn, when we stayed here. The location is excellent and that was the main reason we chose to stay here. We were able to walk to everything downtown. The front desk agent, Kris, was very personable and informative. We had an interior room facing the pool. The room was…fine. The bed was very(!) firm and had crisp sheets. But, the curtains did not adequately cover the window and the pool lights stay on all night, which makes the room seem like there’s a bright nightlight on. If you like a dark room to sleep in, this may bother you. We felt as if the smaller details were forgotten about during the renovation, such as: no light on one side of the king bed, no outlet on that side so you can not charge phones or plug anything else in, no outlet in the bathroom, so you have to dry your hair in the closet area where there was a mirror, there’s no place to put towels in the bathroom (no hooks or bars), and the bathroom mirror had an etching coating on it that made you look ‘hazy/fuzzy’. Maybe it’s supposed to be a fog-less mirror? Either way, you’re doing makeup in the closet area where the other mirror is, but there’s no light. We only needed one night in the downtown area, so this worked for us. This Inn could be a real gem to downtown Dover, if it would polish itself up a little more.

Room was clean enough but the age of the building makes any level of cleanliness suspicious. The carpet is probably original to the building. The rooms use a metal key and the doors don't lock behind you. We were glad there was a deadbolt chain.

We traveled 3 hours to find that our room smelt like smoke, the carpeting was filthy, and the best problem was THE DOOR WOULD NOT LOCK. My daughter and I had to sleep with a chair forced under the doorknob.
