Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Upon arrival, I immediately noticed several issues with the accommodations: • A persistent mechanical or structural noise that made it nearly impossible to sleep. • A “full breakfast” that lacked even basic items such as milk for cereal and coffee, and the powdered eggs served were cold and lumpy. • Most distressing of all, I discovered bed bugs in the room, which I documented on video. When I reported these problems to the front desk, I received no meaningful assistance or resolution. The staff appeared unconcerned and offered no compensation or alternative accommodations.

I stayed at Best Western Plus, Newark/Christiana, Bear, DE for one night and had a wonderful experience. The hotel was spotless, comfortable, and very welcoming. The check-in process was quick, and the staff were professional, friendly, and attentive. My room was clean, quiet, and well-equipped with a cozy bed, mini-fridge, and microwave. The complimentary breakfast offered a nice variety of options and was a great start to the day. The location is convenient—right off I-95 and close to restaurants and shops. Overall, this hotel offers excellent value, great service, and a relaxing atmosphere. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone traveling through the area.

All employees were welcoming and accommodating. Appreciate that this was a dog, friendly hotel near our destination. There is a nice backyard to walk your dog in. Would probably stay there again as it is close to our regular destination. Looks like this could be a hotel with upgrades. The mattress felt very old. The curtains need a deep clean due to dust and age.

Here for one night. Didnt use the exercise facilities. Guys at the check in were super nice. TV has a great picture. No shops or variety of restaurants nearby. Ended up with a way too big pizza. Bed seems comfy. Room is clean the plastic covered docs could use a good wipe down. Feel sticky. Overall I'm satisfied with this place for an overnighter.

Great staff, nice rooms, very fancy coffee machine for breakfast. Only complaint was breakfast was not stocked. Very few options and variety’s for breakfast. We ate around 8 which is the middle-ish of their breakfast hours and I feel it should have been stocked. (It wasn’t busy)

The hotel was decent for price. Location was ok. The hotel itself was nice and the rooms were comfy and clean. However my tv was broken and had a scratch (didn't bother me but might others). The breakfast was a little skimpy. There was a pancake machine but idk if it ran out or wasn't working. So I think you have to get there early. Pool was great that it was indoor, but the hot tub is currently closed if your expecting that. Would stay again if I was in the area. Perfect for travelers it's close to 95.

Our room was clean and the beds comfortable. The A/C unit did not work. The front desk check in folks need to work on their people skills. We were not greeted on arrival. I stood waiting for some time with no acknowledgment. No eye contact, no hello. Desk staff was irritated and frazzled with some other issue. A next shift desk clerk, not on duty, observed this and greeted us and was very kind.
