I was expecting yucky motel, but this place was really great!! I was pleasantly surprised and I will definitely stay there again. The location was soooo perfect...just steps from the beach. The linens and carpet were super clean, as was the bathroom. The beds are firm, but comfortable. The staff was very helpful. All of the other guests were very... More

Travellers: Mom, Dad, boy (8), girl (6). We stay at the Grand Floridian in DisneyWorld, and go rough-tent camping in the mountains, so we can adapt to most places. Based on Tripadvisory reviews of the Bethany Arms, I prepared myself for staying at a run-down 1970's Motel6/Travelodge. We were surprisingly pleased with the accomodations at the Bethany Arms Motel. The... More

Food left in the refrigerator, sink and coffee makers. Sand in the bed that was supposed to be clean from the PREVIOUS guest. Built up crud on all light switches and walls. Counters and tables filthy, we had to scrub ourselves. Towels- I wash my car with better, Patio table cracked and unsafe. AC is in the bedroom and has... More

We traveled down from pa for the day just to get a taste of that sweet ocean air :P Decided to stay here since the price was right.....the room was ok, considering it was still late winter....it was clean and kept up well even though the hotel is older. A couple downsides, you have to purchase your coffee at the... More

When you want a get away to Bethany and you want a location that is on the beach, this is the place to go! The staff is very attentive, willing to change our room location at a moments notice. We have been in just about every building and yes, it is showing it's age and could use some updating, but... More

This motel is soo very old! The location is good (right on the boardwalk) almost too close when you're on your balcony. The bed was so uncomfortable we couldn't wait to get home. The place was clean and maid service was good. But the A/C unit (solo unit in bedroom) was extremely loud. The kitchen/living room area was antiquated as... More

My cousin recommended the Bethany Arms Motel. It's on the beach, great location and that's what I wanted. While the rooms aren't the most modern they have everything you need. Clean, with AC, TV and close to everything. I read the negative reviews, but the family always likes an adventure. We decided to book and stay, after all it could... More

the bethany arms are not luxurious but for an ocean-side place to stay it can't be beat for price. we were there last september, after labor day and there were no crowds and lots of sales in the shops. i would go again and probably will in september 2011, right back to the bethany arms. the balcony looking over the...

We really loved the clean cut atmosphere in Bethany Beach. No smoking allowed in many places. Three of four small electric burners worked. Full kitchen to make all of our meals there. We brought most of our food/beverages. We ate outside looking at the ocean. The maids asked us if we wanted cleaning the second day we were there and... More
