Canalside Inn

Great shady neighborhood location, attentive owner and communications. Every amenity including a large plunge pool and hot tub.

For anyone considering a stay at the Canalside Inn, you might want to consider our recent experience there. Frankly I am astounded by the number of rave reviews about this hotel, but having a pet friendly place for those with animals must be a very important factor. Unfortunately our stay was not positive. Because our booking at the Canalside a number of years ago had been so pleasant we thought we would stay there again. Certainly the room was spacious, the bed comfortable and the air conditioning worked well, however the state of cleanliness was deplorable. If the owner checks the rooms before they are rented, as he claims, he could not have possibly missed the disgusting black mold growing in the shower, and of the four towels, one was literally threadbare. There were absolutely no amenities in this $400 a night room; an empty refrigerator; no courtesy cups (except two jelly jars); no complimentary water; no coffee machine; a filthy wine bucket, and a side table with a large chunk of laminate missing. The owner asked why we had not complained then, but there was no one present to complain to, despite the owners claim. Everything was transacted through e-mails, codes, legal dictates, liability waivers to be signed, etc., etc. The overall appearance of the hotel was tired, dirty and neglected, and to add insult to injury, all of the bicycles offered had flat tires! To his credit, he did give us a $100 compensatory credit (when demanded) and a $100 toward a future stay (which is ridiculous considering our experience). Perhaps Bryan Deptula, the owner, should spend a night in his own hostelry to see how improvements to the visitor's experience could be made.

We enjoyed our seaside getaway to Rehobeth. The location is great - a quiet beautiful tree lined street along the canal and an easy walk to town and the beach. Having beach chairs and umbrellas available to us for the beach was a great bonus. The self-guided check-in was easy and Bryan was very available and made some great recommendations for places to dine.

Super cute and cozy place! I loved that it was dog friendly too! The pillows were very comfortable and the air conditioning worked great. Our room was very up to date and modern looking. The Canalside Inn offered free beach chairs, bicycles, etc to their guests to use while staying! Great place I would definitely recommend staying here.

Very clean pet friendly and within walking distance to restaurants and conveniences. They have a wonderful great room/ kitchen area that was absolutely immaculate. There is also a beautiful walkpath for you and your furry travel companion to enjoy

What a lovely location. Close to downtown. Quiet. Right by canal,why the name. Loved the balcony. The downstairs area was great,even though I did not use it much. You must try them out. I thought easy in and out. Can walk to a great restaurant called EGG.
