Great place to stay! Clean, great location and great customer service. Very easy to check in, and the gentleman at the counter was so sweet! Highly recommended!!! Had a great experience overall. I do have one recommendation, if you want to do the spa make your reservation the same time you make your reservation for the hotel.

Amazingly affordable for what you get. This is a 5 star hotel at a 2 to 3 star price. Food is amazing. Amenities are second to none. I recommend getting a room at the Avenue 2 if you can, which is their hotel but two buildings down. It's very quiet and the parking situation is much better as I do not enjoy using their parking garage as it's too narrow. Their pool, hot tub, and sauna are great amenities. I love this hotel and hope to return.
Rooms: Spacious and clean.
Safety: Very safe area
Walkability: Very close to the beach and downtown.

I felt bamboozled. When you check out the Avenue Inn and Spa online, you see this fancy, modern building with nice amenities. That’s what I thought I’d booked; instead I got the Avenue 2, which looks more like a motel on the outside. No elevator, so we had to lug our stuff up the stairs. The room I booked was nicely updated - except for the poorly patched-over ceiling, apparently the result of a leak. Oh and yes, you can use amenities in Avenue 1, such as the pool, breakfast, etc - but who really wants to trek a block back and forth doing all that? We felt weird, sort of like uninvited guests. And the parking spaces at Avenue 2? Barely any, and they’re tight as hell. Won’t be doing this again.

Highly recommend! Very friendly staff, very clean, nice breakfast. Location is perfect, within walking distance of everything! They even provide a ride in a golf cart to take you to & from the beach, which is only a block away. Hotel has towels & beach chairs to borrow. Will 100% stay here again when in Rehoboth Beach.

Service sucks! They don’t respect and don’t care about their customers. The front desk people are rude and not polite. Advice to management - train your employees better! We simply asked if we could check in a little early we got there ant 1pm, and the front desk person responded in the worst way possible!

This is such a special and important place for my family. When my husband and I got our first grown up jobs, we saved up carefully to spend a long weekend at The Avenue and it was so magical we just never stopped visiting. Now we have an 11 year old who loves this place as much as we do, and we visit multiple times a year.
The Avenue is beautiful, peaceful and welcoming. Beyond the amenities, the delightful balconies, the lovely pool, the breakfast and the wine and the cookies... the people who work here make The Avenue a place we are always overjoyed to return to. From the front desk to management to Lew who drives us back and forth to the beach every day... everyone here is committed to providing meaningful and kind service.
Life is expensive these days and vacations are harder and harder for so many of us, and it can feel like such a gamble to try something new. If you give The Avenue a try, I'm certain that you'll feel like you got your money's worth. Maybe, like our family, you'll feel like you're home.
(If someone can explain to me exactly what the scent is in the lobby of this hotel, my family would thank you. We love The Avenue's scent so much we would happily purchase it in a candle!)

My friends and I did a girls' trip and stayed at the Avenue II, during high season no less. Cannot recommend enough! The service was impeccable, the amenities cannot be beat, and the location is fantastic. Plus, you can start parking there before check-in time, and can use amenities past check-out time. Extra special shoutout to Lew, who was always there to give us a lift to and from the beach when we needed. Already looking forward to returning to the Avenue Inn for next year's iteration.

First lets say we had a blast! This was by far our favorite trip to Rehoboth and we come annually! And we were also surprisingly disappointed and unimpressed with the hotel itself. Confused? I will explain.
Let’s begin with some good. We loved being on top of Blue Hen. I always wanted to come here but instead we had stayed at Oceanus and Breakers. I love being right in the center of town. I love the smell of the hotel, the absolutely gorgeous lobby, the balcony was private with adorable chairs that come together w room to hold a beverage or 2. Absolutely gorgeous overlooking Wilmington.
Now that thats said I also was severely unimpressed with the hotel for the cost. With The price of 750 ish for 3 nights I assumed we would be in the lap of luxury yet we were not. We were honestly side eyeing them because we were shocked that the hotel cost this much for what you got.
Before coming we had let staff know we would like an early check in because of a mediation prayer. They kept denying it which right off the bat, bad taste. I understand you are busy during peak season but the hotel was almost empty on a Tuesday morning it shouldnt be that staff was so scared to promise early check in. It ended up that we were able to check in early after all which honestly was probably the best and most appreciated part of the stay. To the GM- (our family owns a business so we know a bit about leading a crew)- sometimes we are so focused on policy policy policy that we forget that none of this makes us money unless people like us. I would say early check ins on slow empty weekday mornings in early May should be a guarantee.
All of the amenities sounded extravagant online , the 8 pm cookies and milk, the gourmet breakfast, the pool and hot tub. But this was all more nostalgic of a nursing home vibe. Instead of a breakfast worth staying in for, it was mostly cold eggs, old looking yogurts and cottage cheese and tons of eyes staring at us awkwardly. The cookies were familiar of when people line up on food lines, some are running to take as much as possible and some watching others.
The front desk varied a lot. Some people were kind and sweet and accommodating and some looked like you ruined their day by asking a question or asking for change for the vending machines. I don’t want to get anyone in trouble so I wont name names (and again some were lovely) but front desk needs a new training session on customer care. Instead of naming names for who wasn’t helpful I will say who was. The woman with glasses and a chipper voice was lovely and was what we were expecting when coming here. Unfortunately her colleagues did not all learn from her yet. When people pay this price they’re expecting luxury- The Avenue is either unable or unwilling to provide that.
Going back to some good- The Blue Hen employees were magnificent and were exactly what customer care is supposed to be. The prices of wine were way overpriced but the Froze was amazing and the happy hour very attentive near the fire. The hot tub being outside was incredible. Much better than an inside sweaty one. The pool was way too low at 5 ft for deep end but still fun.
Lastly all in all we went out every night to the best restaurants in town, had wine sent up to the room which we loved! And thank you for the 2 wine glasses this is why we decided on an overpriced bottle- we were so excited to drink our wine and get some souvenirs it was lovely. And the spa! I got a massage the second day and it was detoxifying! Of course you pay a pretty penny but all that is worth it. Id say my advice is with the offers of breakfast, cookies and staff itself remember you aren’t doing customers any favors. They’re doing you one. They pay big bucks and if you want to charge that thats great but we didnt make our money by paying for great and getting good. But you got to step it up and be worth the price you’re charging.
