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. More

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! More

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

My boyfriend and I were lucky enough to get a last-minute room last Sat night at the Vesuvio Motel. We both live in Delaware, but were traveling for a family wedding and didn't want to drive a long distance late after partying (we are in our mid-late 20's). Mr. Vesuvio was very friendly and willing to help in any way... More

My gal & I began staying here last summer. We came back ten times the summer of 2010 for little overnight beach vacations because the place cannot be beat. We were just there the other night & it was fantastic how the service met our rosy-color memories of last year. While it isn't fancy, it's just right, your car is... More

the Vesuvio is the perfect setting for settling down after long days of playing in the sun. I've gone here at least 11 times in the past year, and it's always a treat. Amazing deal, crisp, clean amenities, and helpful owners. I'm serious about this being a home away from home; John has called restaurants for us and pointed in... More

If location matters this Hotel delivers. It is in the center of it all and offers amoung other things FREE parking and a great rates. Travel back in time to when Mom and Pop fueled up the Colman cooler, drove to the Hotel and parked the station wagon. For a couple of days they ruled the beach as a local. More

Do NOT stay at this motel. The hotel is outdated and the guy (John) that runs the place is a wacko! He stormed in to my soon to be mother inlaw's room and started yelling and cursing at her and she had done NOTHING to him. She said the "BEACH Guide" that rates the local hotels stated the motel allowed... More
