The Bay Resort Motel

Fantastic location! Our room was spotlessly clean. The ladies at the front desk and the staff in general were great! We arrived early, well before check in and they cleanened our room, giving us a call while we were on the beach, letting us know the room was ready hours before the official check-​in time. Views of the bay are ridiculous!

Motel is well kept, free coffee is good, they stock the kitchenettes with most stuff you’ll need like dish soap. Our bayside room allowed us to park car right outside which was convenient with all our baby gear. This hotel is really like smack dab on the middle of the three big Dewey bars, not that Dewey is that big though. Staff is super nice, jolly trolley is close as is liquor store, if you have kids bring your own milk as it is surprisingly hard to find in Dewey

Clean place friendly service and an overall good experience however would have received a higher rating if a few things were different. I shared a balcony with others which I didn’t really enjoy. All room are not like this however I was in one of the few that had a shared balcony. The bedding sheet sucked. The pillows were great however the sheet had much to be desired. I’d stay again however would ask for the thing I had lacking on this visit.

What a cute hotel. Was a bit skeptical upon first site, but I trusted my mom, who stayed here last year, and trudged up the steps to our room. Open the door to a cute room, with a view worthy of the islands. Palm tree, gazebo, pier, and sand… They were all included. Yes the room is dated, but who goes to the beach and spends any real time in their room anyway. The front desk was so helpful, kind, sweet, and charming. I wanted to take them home with me. Lots of security, constantly roaming about. make sure you properly display a parking pass, but not annoying the guests. Make sure to grab a piece of raw chicken, and head to the pier. Grab a net and piece of string. Take a seat looking out on the beautiful bay, tie your chicken to the string and dunk. You’ll feel a tug, so lower the net, and catch that crab. There is even a kitchenette to cook up your haul! Thanks everyone here.

Just got back from our anniversary trip and had four nights booked at the Bay Resort. Upon arrival the place looked a bit vintage beach motel but we didnt mind as we were just happy to be in Dewey! The front desk staff was great and very nice to us. They were very helpful when we decided to stay an additional night and had no problem accommodating us and allowing us to stay in the same room on our additional night. Housekeeping didnt get this note to say we were staying an extra day and the woman was very confused as to why we were still there. No big deal at all though.
The rooms and décor could use some updating, the appliances are very old as well
Its absolutely amazing out back along the bay. The prices were good and we had a great stay.

Beautiful location. Well kept bayfront motel with friendly staff. Everything good said by previous reviewers is accurate. I highly recommend Bayfront and will return.
The pool is nice. There is a covered bayfront area to watch the sunsets.
Coffee all day in the office. Nice touch.
Beautiful views of the bay. You can’t beat this location.

We were here for a scooter rally a couple of weekends ago and had a very nice time. We stayed Thursday-​Sunday (3 nights). It was $$ but not too bad over all. I called ahead because we were going to be late checking in (3:30am) so they left our key in an envelope with the security guard and had us officially check in the next morning which was awesome. Def do that otherwise you might be screwed getting to your room if you arrive late!
I made reservations back in January as soon as I could. What was odd is that I didn’t hear from the hotel since then so it took me forever to find the original email confirmation in my gmail. They should def send out a reminder or hello as the summer gets closer to remind guests of their reservations and info.
The staff (esp the old man and the 2 women) at the front desk were SO NICE. Really really helpful folks and they were funny too. The hotel let us do whatever without pestering anyone or micromanaging. They also were cool about having our scooters parked out front. The only catch is because the parking lot isn’t huge every room gets only 1 parking spot. So if you have 2 cars or a trailer you need to buy a parking pass from the town ($ 29) for the weekend to park on the street. Everyone at the rally had a great time, esp at the pool. The pool was nice and clean. The hotel is right on the bay with a large dock so def go outside and take a look at the view during the sunset/​sunrise. Also in May/​June horseshoe crabs come into the shallow waters to mate and it’s really cool to see! There were a bunch when we were there. It’s nice because since the hotel is on the bay side it’s quieter and you get less of the crazy spring break college crowd.
The rooms were nice and clean and I appreciated our little kitchenette.

This place has a gorgeous view of the bay, clean swimming pool, ample parking, friendly staff and the rooms are really nice. My husband and I were impressed with how clean, well-​stocked and organized our room was. We would stay there again if we go back to the area.

This hotel is staffed by the friendliest people on Earth! The rooms are clean and comfortable. Our kitchenette was surprisingly large, which is a bonus when you are traveling on a budget. It was stocked with everything you would need to cook a three course meal including plates, cutlery, pots and pans, and a cutting board.
The only reason I did not give 5 stars is that the décor was a little dated. It looks like they redid the place in the early 90s, but who cares anyway?
I would definitely consider staying here again!

Eh for the price 3 stars — its the beach in the Summer so U get raped a bit.
But from reading reviews here I expected better.
1^st — Flys in the room
2^nd — hair in the bathroom on the floor — I’m not a prude, but if I’m paying for your services Clean the Fcuking place.
3^rd — pool is small, but its nice.
4^th — Beds sucked — they’re worn & too soft.
Won’t be back. I’ll pay more for a better place
Location was good — Clean up your act. And reinvest your $ in better beds!

The Bay Resort Motel was perfect for our girls beach weekend. The room was clean and had a nice balcony overlooking the very well-​kept pool. The room had a kitchenette with stovetop, small oven, and a full set of cookware and dishes. The service was wonderful and the employees are always smiling! Best of all, it’s only two small blocks from the beach. We will definitely be back.

The Bay Resort Hotel was very nice. I loved that my room was right over the bay and that it wasn’t too far from the beach. The beds were big and comfy, so that was a plus. It was nice having a dock and being able to go out on it just to view the water. Every night I went out on the dock just to sit for a little bit in the quiet, it was amazing. And the pool wasn’t bad, either. It was a tad small, but not too small. I spent most of my time in that pool. Overall, the hotel was nice and the cleaning service was great :)

Dewey Beach is certainly not the place to look for a world class hotel, but if you are planning to go to Dewey, you would make a good decision to stay at The Bay Resort. A block off the beach, with a view of the bay, it is clean and quiet and the beds were comfortable. (I heard from someone went to the pool how clean the pool was, but I am more of a beach person, so I didn’t personally use it).
The best part of my brief two night visit was the excellent team at the front desk. Rusty and Shirley are delightful hosts; you will almost feel like you are visiting mom’s (or grandmom’s) as long as your mom/​grandmom are cheerful and funny. They are a wonderul team, and writing this review is my way of saying thanks to them both!

Some may say that they need to fix the lopsided «M» on their sign but I just think that leads to it’s charm. We headed to Dewey this past weekend in a very large party. At least 48 people. Maybe more… I lost count. The Bay Resort ended up being the perfect place for us all to hang out. It sits right on the Bay and has a long pier where people can go crabbing. There is a cabana and most of our rooms led right out onto the lawn where we gathered for general debauchery of which plenty was had.
The women who worked at the desk were friendly and patient considering they have to put up with a lot of drunken idiots. Drinking is allowed on the premises just no glass bottle outside of your room. They provide plastic cups as needed that even have spots to put your name.
The rooms have tiny kitchenettes and the beds were a comfortable spot to crash after a long day in the sun or in case you get trapped in your room due to an unknown party invite that you didn’t know you were hosting. Like a scene out of a 90’s teen movie, our room quickly filled with pizza and alcohol but it turned out to be the best place escape the extreme heat. The A/​C works very well.
A quick walk to the ocean and close to many of Dewey’s more popular locales, the Bay Resort Motel ended up being the perfect place for our not so little reunion.

One of your best options as far as hotels go in Dewey Beach. The rates are reasonable, the staff is comprised of sweet, old Southern ladies, the rooms are clean, there is a pool, you’re close to the beach, and there are no rules against hosting drunken dance parties in your room (we were a group of 15 to give you an idea). Best hidden secret is the gorgeous boardwalk out back.
