While typical of a beach front hotel with tile floors and Stocco walls. It was a very pleasant experience, and I have to say any other staff we dealt with were incredibly professional and courteous. The location is convenient at the end of the boardwalk and I have to say what a nice little town it is.
Everyone we spoke to was helpful and professional, no complaints about the property. It was lovely being near the end of the boardwalk, you get a bit better spot on the beach when you aren’t smack in the middle of everyone else. We’ve gone here twice now and it’s pretty much ideal.
The location and price was great! We were on the beach and boardwalk. Just a short walk to anything you need. The room was clean and the staff were friendly. There is a beautiful mural with paintings of times gone by of beach going people. The hotel has been around since 1879! We were upgraded without even asking as it was not full.

It was a nice place to stay at for the night, could see that it’s an old hotel but has renovated rooms which came out really nicely!
Great hotel! The location is perfect, right on the beach at the end of the boardwalk. The beach is less crowded, but you’re still close enough to the center of town for restaurants and shopping. The hotel itself is very clean and has great amenities - a drink station where you can grab hot beverages and water all day, access to a restroom with a shower and changing room so you can stay on the beach after check out, ocean view balconies, the list goes on. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely stay again!

Hotel is in a great location. No swimming pool. The free coffee machine in the lobby was out of order.
We had a great start here! The staff was very helpful and I loved the old school charm of the lobby. Our rooms were quite clean and functional, the hallways were mostly quiet, and it was so convenient to get to the beach and the boardwalk. We’ll be returning, for sure
The staff was nice, helpful and notified me when the room would be ready. The room was very clean, spacious, the terrific view on the balcony was the cherry on top for this great stay. The location is unbeatable. Direct access to the boardwalk and beach aswell as being a small but perfectly walkable distance away from the main streets and attractions.
We stayed 3 nights in august of 2026 The room was extremely clean. Parking in rehoboth beach is expensive. It was a great plus to have the parking garage at the hotel. Access to the beach was excellent. The staff was friendly and informative. We have visited rehoboth beach at least twenty times this is the first time at the henlopen, we would certainly stay there again
We decided to stay on the quieter end of the boardwalk this year, and this hotel was a great choice. It is well-maintained and just a few steps from the beach. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was cleaned timely every day and everything was restocked. We had an ocean view balcony, and we were able to enjoy the ocean from our room.

It’s fine and cheap and you get what you pay for — for an on the beach spot blocks from restaurants and the main drag. Convenient but noisy through the walls. No pool
First time visiting Rehobeth Beach and we will absolutely be back! The Henlopen Hotel was perfect! Located on the beach at the end of the boardwalk it was both convenient and quiet! Perfect if you don’t necessarily want to be in the middle of all the action but just steps away when you do! Staff was very friendly, room was clean and had that “beach” feel which is perfect. Took an advantage of the complimentary coffee/tea. Loved the rockers overlooking the beach and our side balcony beach view was great! Also located right by Camp Henlopen State Park which is worth spending some time in - both nature and history!! I highly recommend this hotel!
Most of the staff was very helpful. Desk staff varied. Wi-fi was useless for us. Neither of us could get on it. We booked about a month out, and took a suite. As advertised, had a view of the parking lot. Room had one bath, air conditioning was noisy. Overall experience was OK, not great. Good location. Easy parking. Can’t recommend this type room.
We had an ocean front room. The view was beautiful, nice furniture on the balcony. The room was large very clean. There was a microwave and a refrigerator, a large bathroom ,air conditioner worked well, very convenient to the beach, right on the end of the boardwalk. Parking was a little tight, but we were driving a truck. If you have a small car it was fine. The parking was free and covered, a plus. We had a great time would definitely go back to this hotel.
