The hotel was clean but very plain; nothing special about it. It needs a facelift, especially the guest rooms and corridors. The free breakfast was meager and the breakfast room was small and uninviting. The principal feature of the hotel is its location, right on the beach and boardwalk and just a short walk from the main street. The town... more

We chose Henlopen because we got married at Salero ( located on the 8th floor). Incompitant staff had quoted several people staying for my wedding different prices than quoted to my wedding planner. After arguing with several people on staff, the head manager politely corrected the problem. Rooms were switched and half the people staying for my wedding were put... more

I was one of a group of 50 that stayed there for a business conference during a Nor'easter. Rain came in through the patio and front doors soaking the rugs and warping the doors. Many of the rooms leaked from the ceiling, and they weren't on the top floor, so that is a mystery. At least one person had 4... more

Before you proceed with this review - know that I've camped my entire life and have traveled all over the world... I'm accustomed to a bit of dirt, but Henlopen Hotel was horrible. Henlopen Hotel was awful. The staff was unkempt, unfriendly and inattentive. Our room was unlocked when we arrived - the staff didn't think this was a problem.... more

While not the most up to date place I've stayed, it was adequate for a baseball team and their families playing at Sports at the Beach. The room was clean. The worst part was the air conditioner that sounded like an aircraft carrier taking off. The second night we just like the balcony door open. The person who greeted me... more

The hotel was adequate for our stay. It was at the end of the boardwalk so it was quiet. They upgraded our room before we even arrived. It isn't new with all the bells & whistles but I thought the pricing was fair considering we were right on the beach. The location saved us from having to find parking which... more

Our extended family ( six rooms worth!) had a terrific stay at the Henlopen in early August. The staff has very helpful with EVERY request ( bathroom safety items, cribs and cots for the little ones). Parking was tight at times but staff members went beyond the call of duty and came out in the garage to help us. We've... more

From the moment our reservation specialist answered my call to the follow through after our stay, the staff and management team at the Henlopen Hotel provided stellar service. Their attention to detail and helping with a special needs guest made our stay a wonderful weekend with memories to last. Our reservation specialist assisted us in first identifying the room we... more

the henlopen hotel was fine. travelled with extended family. took 5 rooms. overall the rooms were somewhat dark, with noisy a/c units, but the oceanfront rooms with the balconies were the nicest. the location is the best thing about the hotel - away from the boardwalk arcade/shop area - but close enough to walk to town & restaurants. breakfast was... more
