Hotel Rodney

As locals to the area, my husband and I chose to stay at The Hotel Rodney as an overnight option while attending some recent late-night events in Downtown Lewes. We found the staff to be super-friendly, attentive and helpful. Our room on the top floor was situated at the end of the hallway, so it was reasonably quiet save for some loud conversations going on in the hallway at times. We found our room to be modest and clean, equipped with vintage-inspired decor. There was a mini-refrigerator in the room that was very convenient. The original building site also has an interesting history, which we also liked.

We had a an unexpected commitment in Lewes while our house was being rented out and needed a place to stay for the night. We've recommended Hotel Rodney to friends based on the location and thought this was a good opportunity to get the full experience. We got the executive room, which was very small but totally fine if you just need a place to sleep. If you need a place to spend a little more time you'd want to look at other options. I was surprised that the bed was a double but the website does say that in the description and I missed it—be sure to confirm the bed type. The room was very clean and the bathroom nicely appointed. You do hear hallway and overhead noise but nothing I wouldn't expect in an older hotel. There are only a few parking spots in their lot but street parking doesn't seem to be a problem at all, unlike most beach towns. The staff was great and the location can't be beat.

Room was very small but comfortable and attractive. It would be hard for a couple to stay for more than 1-2 days comfortably. Next time we will upgrade to a larger room. The only issue we had was the noise of the housekeeping staff, which started early Saturday morning. In addition to necessary noise, like vacuuming in the hall, the staff carried on a loud, long conversation (mostly complaints) that was so bad we couldn't read or even hear ourselves think.
