The website said nothing about Pauling being in a garage so our vehicle wouldn’t fit. We had to pay for accommodations at a different hotel.

Pros: easy access to beach, the room we stayed in was spacious, good water pressure in shower, decent beds, quite side of the boardwalk. Coffee machine in lobby was very convenient. Cons: The room we got smelled like marijuana, when all things considered it wasn't the worst but not the best smell to walk into. The floors looked like they just had been mopped with dirty water. The staff just cleaned our bathroom and left fresh towels daily and took trash but that was it. The sand we brought into the room was never swept or cleaned and our beds were never made. The staff was nice enough to clean when we asked, but we shouldn't have to. There is no pool, for some reason I thought there was one. Most of the rooms are ocean view, and the ocean front rooms are smaller. The parking spaces are tight. Overall we just stayed a weekend with our 2 kids and it was enough. We did miss not having a pool. The staff was friendly and we enjoyed our stay for the most part. But I will not stay here again unless it's a great deal. Rooms are dated and thankfully we just had 1 night of nosey roudy neighbors. The walls are thin and can hear the kids nextdoor screaming. If you are looking for easy access to the beach this place is it. But really no other thrills.

Outdated hotel with few amenities. Great location on boardwalk so if you don’t care about frills, then this is the place for you! Our room was clean but had outdated furnishings, was next to the elevator with lots of noise, and AC unit sounded like a large plane taking off when it turned on.

Liked the location. When we checked in our bed was broken ( the bed slats were broken and lying on the floor.) Once fixed the bed was comfortable. There was someone’s hair in our shower. There’s no restaurant or any kind of breakfast served. Probably won’t stay here again.

When we went to check-in at 3:55 (check-in time at 4) one of the receptionists told us our room wasn’t ready but that they would call us when it was, so we sat on a nearby couch to wait. At 4:40 I asked the other receptionist how much longer it would be and she said our room had been ready for awhile, even though they had neglected to let us know. The room was nice and it had great access to the beach and was the perfect distance from the shops at the boardwalk. There were not enough parking spots for all of the guests and when there was parking parking spots open they were very tight and took several corrections to get out of without hitting other cars or poles. Overall the stay was decent.

The hotel clearly understands that people need a place to change into -- and out of -- bathing suits before (and after) they check in. The bathroom was clean, had a shower stall (and towels, too!) and a changing room. Very helpful. The sleeping room was comfortable; one bed was a little squeaky.

I liked the location and proximity to the boardwalk. Straight out to the boardwalk however no breakfast, coffee machine was broke and my bf said he saw white stuff on the beans in the machine (mold). Parking was so limited. If you go just make sure you get in before it gets too late or all the other hotel guests will take up the small spaces with their huge trucks. One truck took up three spaces and forced us to pay for parking the first night.

I booked the Henlopen Hotel through a coworker’s recommendation. The location is right on the beach and had convenient parking. When we got to the room there was only 1 towel and the toilet seat was broken off the toilet completely. I figured for the location we can just ask for more towels and move on. On the morning of check out, we had THREE housekeepers walk into our room without knocking/announcing themselves. Thankfully we had the safety lock on the door: My boyfriend and I were doing the horizontal tango when this happened so I was absolutely mortified that they walked in so many times. It made the morning very uncomfortable and I don’t think I’ll be returning.

I had a wonderful experience here. I visited for Father's Day weekend to surprise my husband, and he absolutely loved the room and the ocean view. However, I did notice that the inside of the toilet could have been cleaner, and there was some mold on the bottom of the shower door. Despite these issues, I would definitely come back and would recommend this place to others.

Check in/check was quick and easy. Room (2-Queen Studio) was spacious, including the bathroom w/ dual sinks and great shower water pressure. Location was nice on the north side of the boardwalk but not too many dining options right by the hotel. You have to walk down to main boardwalk area for dining, shopping. My one main gripe was the advertisement of a “Premium Ocean View” room, which was a side view of the ocean. For $400+ per night I thought I was getting a full oceanfront view. Was very disappointed with this…I take partial blame for not researching better, but still feel the hotel misrepresented “Premier Ocean View” when there is nothing premier about it
