I am pretty fussy when it comes to road-side motels....and we had no choice in this unknown area having to wait for the ferry. What a nice surprise. We had a second floor room that was very clean with NO SMELLS and a VERY comfortable bed. The pool was very nice and the painted murals around are lovely. We had... More

The rooms were filthy and the beds were extremely soft and uncomfortable. Housekeeping was rude and inefficient. On main road and surrounded by parking lot. Smell of sulfur comes from the swamp across the road. Expensive for what you get. Would never stay again! More

This place was a dump. We booked online and when we checked in they looked at the ticket and charged us $200.00. this was the price on the website. The desk clerk looked at the price and told us that we should feel lucky because that was such a good price. WTF? who says that. We then asked for a... More

I've stayed at the Beacon many times over the years with family and have always been pleased with the motel, the excellent location, and the friendly staff. The hotel is the last real beach motel that I know of in the Lewes area that is affordable for families, and, while not luxurious, it is clean and comfortable. There is no... More

The Beacon is a comfortable but not luxurious motel. The rooms are comfortable enough, but nothing special, and the décor is dated. The front desk closes late at night. I checked in late, so I had to wait in the heat for a few minutes before I was let inside. It is just two blocks from Second Street, the historic... More

Located within walking distance to the Bay beach and the historic district. This is an older motel with an inside corridor. There is an outdoor pool on the second floor. The motel has storefronts in its front facade. There is a bike rental place, a knitting place, a down store, and a breakfast shop. At the edge of the parking... More

We took a clean and sufficient room with two queen sized beds for one night. The room was on the back side of the motel and therfore quiet, except when the public waste disposal came outside early in the morning. We liked swimming in the pool on the sundeck. The staff is formal, but not unfriendly. Considering the price level... More

Wife and I stayed here for the September nascar race weekend. Price was fair in respect to the gouging the area puts on fans. About a 40 minute drive to the track. Friendly staff, Wi-Fi, quiet building. Room was nice. We faced the back which has a field and a pool. Beach is only about a 10 minute walk or... More

We just returned from spending a night at the Beacon Motel. I read reviews for the hotel and have to say my expectations were not very high. I was very pleasantly surprised! The A/C worked perfectly. The hotel had wireless internet available (FREE!) and the room was NOT noisy (even though our room faced the street) and did NOT smell!... More

My family of four (2 teen boys) booked into the Beacon at the last minute for an August weekend in Lewes. Great location overall. We could walk to all restaturants in Lewes which was necessary because parking is tight. We drove to beach at Cape Henlopen which was somewhat crowded. Rooms were adequate and about what I expected. Nothing fancy,... More
