We just spent another great week at the Vesuvio Motel. We were welcomed as always by John and Karen. We came 3 times this year and hope to be able to come one more time before the year is over. The Motel is just what we need, the room is large and has cable TV, and is well kept clean.... More

By reading other reviews, we decided to try this Motel on the spur of the moment when the weather was gorgeous in early September and not over a busy weekend.. John booked us in for two nights over the telephone and I requested an upper floor room, which he kindly booked us in to. If sitting out on the shared... More

First the motel is very close to the beach and the quaint town of Lewes. The owners give you very personal attention unlike a chain. We have been coming for years and my family loves it! Everything is in walking distance. We love going to Henlopen Park which is very close. John the owner is very flexible with the rooms.... More

My husband and I stay at the Vesuvio every August when we visit our friends in Lewes. It has to be the cleanest hotel we have ever stayed in. The rooms are very basic but comfortable. We requested a coffee maker for the room and it was provided. The small refrigerator in the room is very convenient. The location is... More

This is an "old school" type of motel that used to be common throughout America. Run by the owner who lives in a matching house on the property. Building is simple but has a certain character. Very well kept and clean. Rooms and furnishings are simple, dated, spacious and clean. Nice fridge in room but no microwave (might be available... More

If you can't swing the price of the frou-frou bed and breakfast places, this is a very traditional and reasonably-priced American-style motel located right downtown in Lewes in walking distance of the harbor. Good prices, friendly staff. Clean and quiet.

We found this hotel to be everything we needed. Our room was spotlessly clean, price is very reasonable and location is fantastic, right on the harbour in this beautiful town. Rooms are cute, a little bit dated (but who cares!) and front desk service friendly and efficient. Recommended!

Date of stay: 09/10/11 - Our first time and we'd definitely go back. Bring your own toiletries and hair dryer. Off-street parking. The rooms haven't not been updated (just an observation, not a criticism)for years; very clean; color TV; fridge. Comfy beds. Quiet. Super location. If you like to walk, and don't have a lot of stuff, you could walk... More

The Vesuvio Motel is a 16 room, family owned facility in the Delaware resort town of Lewes. I stayed there twice this summer and twice last summer and was pleased with my stays. It is a bare bones motel offering free parking and is within walking distance of restaurants and shopping on Second Street. Rehoboth Beach is 8 miles away... More
