Great online communications. I appreciated the reminders. I was hesitant at first, but the contactless check-in/out was seamless. Owner was also onsite to welcome us. Room was very clean with a beach-inspired room decor.

Great pet-friendly alternative to vacation home

The Canalside inn is a great property just inside Rehoboth beach as you cross the canal. It's very walkable to everywhere or you can rent a bike from them too. The staff is friendly, the rooms are clean and the community kitchen/social area is a big bonus. The management should put a sign up to make it clear, the food that's placed in the community fridge is NOT for community consumption--someone ate my breakfast. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it as an excellent pet-friendly hotel.

We stayed here in the off season, near Christmas. The town was busy but it was nice and quiet back there. We were happy to find a hotel off the main road for that reason. The room was well appointed and comfortable. The hotel was very nice though couldn't use all of the amenities due to the season. Loved that it was dog friendly and lots of roads to walk dogs nearby in the neighborhood. Everything was remote entry but it was very convenient. We'd definitely stay here in the main season too. Very convenient to the main road and restaurants, etc.

It's in a good location on a low traffic street. It is absolutely not a 4 Star hotel, its a 12 room airbnb for people with dogs. There is no staff, every time I open the door to the upstairs hallway i got hit with the smell of dog poo. The "deluxe king" room I booked has no closet or dresser to unpack and not much room to put a suitcase to live out of. I live in a tiny efficiency apartment and felt cramped here.

Tucked away gem in the heart of Rehoboth Beach

This is my first time staying at an independent property, rather than a name brand, so I was a little unsure at first, but they’re pet friendly and close to where we wanted to be for the weekend - something hard to find in season. The property has a nice curb appeal, it’s a little older of a building, but still quaint. The room was an even nicer surprise: well appointed, extremely comfortable mattress, pillows, and bedding. The bathroom had wonderfully thick towels, although a little challenging in storage space — but I tend to pack more toiletries than anyone person needs. The room itself had ample storage. A mini-fridge and microwave were nice amenities, as was the mood lighting, and French doors to patio. The service was excellent, any point of contact was pleasant and helpful. The pool and hot tub looked well kept, although we didn’t use them. You can tell the family who owns this property is putting a lot of love into it. We would certainly stay again. They have a fair price point, and provide a genuine sense of hospitality.

Great, stylish hotel in great location. Close to downtown Rehoboth Beach but not right in the middle of all of the crowds. Great job on the decorating, very professional. Good breakfast...the only small gripe I had was that someone called me on the phone to discuss late check-in procedures and what time I would be arriving and I inquired about breakfast, and I was told there would be one Sunday A.M. but he said, "I'm not so sure about Monday..." As it turns out, breakfast is provided every day but I had bought something at the store to eat in my room Monday A.M. ...I wasn't going to make the effort to get up and get dressed if he wasn't "so sure" there would be breakfast. I found out when I checked out that it is every day. No biggie. Still a great stay.

We booked the family deluxe suite. In the website on the pictures and description, it gives the illusion that the suite has separate bedrooms however it’s a 1 bedroom 1 bathroom suite only. The second bed is in the dining area behind a mirror. There were only 2 beds. WiFi connection was pretty poor and the televisions were very dark. You could barely see the screens. We were provided a code to have access to the inn however it never worked. We would have to call constantly to be let into the inn even though we paid to be there. It was a huge hassle and pretty disappointing to not have access to our room at our leisure. Parking was scarce and they’re were no noise consideration. It was very loud all throughout the night. Banging, stomping and yelling. It was very uncomfortable. The room had no thermostat to regular during this hot summer. It had a humidifier inside the room only. It was extremely hot during our stay and inside smelled of dogs. I wouldn’t come back here nor recommend.

Poor representation of property

The entire property seems run down and certainly not maintained. Exterior had dirty railing, exterior doors and there was a rain barrel full of stagnant water with mosquitoes and other bugs. The so called dog showers was shower head at human height. Absolutely no way to clean a dog properly after a day on the beach. The coffee/lounge are consisted of one pot of coffee. No stirrers or spoons and sugar rock hard in the container. Our room which I assumed wrongly would look like the website. Absolutely did not. Our room had broken shades, lights which did not work properly with the remotes and the ceiling fan was filthy. The (two) advertised robes was one robe with no belt. The one queen bed with a duvet was wrinkled and bunched on the bed. The doggy towel which was advertised was indeed a sheet. We had to wash the dog bowl because it had dried particles in it. There was no rug located into the entrance of the room to catch sand and dirt so as a result we had to ask for a broom and dust pan which I was told to collect from the downstairs area. The broom was splayed and dirty. So we ended up wiping the floor by hand with damp towels. The outdoor chairs and tables were equally dirty. I am not a person who complains as a rule. This however was over the top opposite to the website. We were there for an event and had no time to relocate. I will give high regards to Beth the cleaner on the property. She went to great lengths to find a hose for us to wash our dog.
