Twice we toured Dewey beach...and twice we booked Sea ESTA. Listen, if you are looking for celebrities or need to spend ridiculous amounts of money...then no, this place is not for you. We are in our rooms from 1 am to 6am. And this ace does it's job. The money we save goes to local businesses and fun. Friendly staff, clean rooms, and excellent location. Be smart.

Our little gem on the coastal highway 🛣️

We were looking for a quiet motel, close to the beach that allowed dogs. Reception was friendly and welcoming to both people and dogs. Easy walk to the beach, which was beautiful and refreshing after travelling through crowded cities for several days.  Room was older, but everything was clean and worked! Fridge and microwave.  Unfortunately we could not find a restaurant or food store open, but delighted to see the sea witch festival that was in town.  Lovely walk around the town and the diner next door had a great breakfast! Very good value.

Older motel, close to the beach

We were down to Delaware, from the Poconos, for the Dover Nascar Cup race, staying Saturday and Sunday nights. Saturday night the motel was booked. It's a block walk from the beach, and less than a $10 Uber ride to the night life in Rehoboth Beach, which we decided to do on Sunday night after the race. Room was made while we were at the race, and everyone associated with the hotel that we met where very welcoming. 

Nice clean place

The location is great, a short block from the beach.  Free parking on the lot, with a shower outside to rinse off sand.  Very kind and helpful staff.  We got there a few hours before check in time, we weren't able to check in early, which was fine, but they let us park there while we went to the beach.  After the long drive, we needed to use the restroom but they don't have one available in the lobby or anywhere before checking into your room, so that was inconvenient.  

While the room wasn't fancy or up to date, it was mostly clean, however the fridge was definitely not clean, we were missing a flat sheet on one of the beds and the shower wasn't great.  Water pressure and temp ok, but the shower head sprayed water in odd directions and was obviously old.  Bathroom was very small with no counter space.  

All the negative aside, it was as we expected for the price we paid and all we really needed it for was to sleep, so it was perfectly acceptable for our needs.  We'll definitely stay there again if we come to the area.

Not perfect, but will certainly visit again.

The place is not the greatest but the location and parking is very convenient. You can walk to the beach in 100 steps, go to eat without using your car, very close to other beaches and many local restaurants and places to shop

Excellent location 

dewey beach is great--nicer than Rehoboth and its high rises. Sea Esta Motels I is very basic. Don't come with any expectations except that the location is great. Easy walk to the beach. We also liked the outdoor shower, free parking, wifi, and friendly staff. The rooms are very rudimentary. But fine with us. Beach life is basic. The AC worked but was loud (and drowned out noise from neighbors!).

basic hotel with great location

The location is really good, it is close to the beach & restaurants are within walking distance.

The front door said masks were required in the office but none of the employees were wearing them.

The rooms could use an update - the bathroom walls particularly looked poor, and when I went to my room upon check-in the maid had not finished cleaning the room and the front desk had to send her back to finish (and also some guy went in with her) while I waited.

It is one of the cheaper hotels & not the quality I am used to.

Cheaper hotel close to the beach.

It’s close to the ocean, less than a block walk, and it is clean, but it hasn’t been updated in decades. There is no circulation in the room and the wallpaper is coming off the walls in the bathroom and bedroom. Look it is one of the cheaper hotels in Dewey so you get what you pay for, it’s a short walk to the beach and it is clean, nothing more. If you want any kind of pleasantry than probably pick a different (and more expensive) hotel, if all you are looking for is a cheap get away then this will do.

It’s cheap

This used to be the place to stay at the beach cheap. Not so much anymore. I remember when you could get a room for leas than $75 a night. Hopefully, the place has been updated since I stayed a few years ago. It was the 1960's in there.

Rough looking and tiny

If anyone found a memory card for a camera in the area of the Sea-Esta Motel 1 on Houston Street, we lost nearly 2,000 family photographs.  We stayed August 9-12. Please get in touch with me at jasm_916@yahoo.com jasm_916 at yahoo dot com.  

Very close to the beach, everything was clean and we could tell the carpeting was recently updated.  Good water pressure, within walking distance to the restaurants. The bathroom is in dire need of updating.  No knob on faucet, water sprayed everywhere.  We literally had to sit sideways to use the toilet, it is up against the wall.
