Booked our stay in Dewey Beach here for the weekend. All the staff at the Bell Buoy Inn are very wonderful people. They are very friendly and kind. Will definitely book another stay when going to Dewey Beach again.

Stayed in the apartment this past weekend and it was super nice! Great hotel to stay at! The location is perfect, steps away from the beach and less than 15 minute walk to all the bars. Staff is super accommodating and every staff member was super nice. Looking forward to my next stay here!!!

Since our first stay here in 2015 we have quickly come to consider this our second home when in Dewey and the owner & his amazing staff are like our extended family. You won't find a more pet friendly hotel in town, they even put your pet's name on the door. The beds are super comfy and the rooms are large and spacious not to mention quiet, you would never know that Coastal Hwy is more feet away. There's a large deck on the second floor with lounge chairs & tables for all the guests to enjoy, an outdoor shower and they even have beach towels for your dog to borrow. Yes, the hotel is a bit dated but who comes to the beach to hang out in a room? We love being about 100 yards from the beach and right across the street is an area on the bay we can take our dog to swim plus enjoy the new lighthouse cove boardwalk. Every year when we check out in October I book our room for all our stays the following year, we can't imagine sharing the sunsets with anyone besides Tim, Todd, JB, Deb & Chuckie (the hotel cat).

First off I want to state rating is based on expectations really. This is not the Four Seasons... That being said the place was really good. It was as advertised. Low cost comfy room with privacy. Over-sized room. Very good water pressure and hot water. Bathroom facilities outside of fan were very adequate. Bed was big and comfy. Staff was above average. Very helpful and very accommodating. Customer service was above average. The place did have a musty smell but with the AC on and a simple car air freshener in the AC unit it was fine (ran the fan feature at night on the AC unit just to keep air moving). That's typical of older beach places. The decor was older and dated but I wasn't looking for that. Lack of a bathroom fan was really the only true dislike. AC seemed adequate as well, it wasn't hot while we were there but it did not run non-stop either. They had additional space heaters too for cools nights in spring and fall. Honest final point. If you plan to lounge around the inside of the place a lot this may not be the best place. If you want a deck to hang out on then it will work. If you plan to spend minimal amount of time in the room (mainly sleep, shower, get dressed etc...) then you are good. TV was good enough too for watching something while others get ready etc. It was close enough to walk to plenty of bars it was very quiet, (Breast Cancer Run was this weekend and we heard nothing but some jets flying over). So if you plan to drink all night and sleep in this works too. Short drive to other beach destinations and shopping as well. Great spot for couples looking for a cheap beach getaway.
