If youâre looking for a place that combines the charm of a haunted house with the ambiance of a truck stop bathroom, look no further than Downtown Dover Inn. The corridor leading to my room looked like the set of a low-budget crime drama. Faded carpet, chipped paint, and a vibe that screamed âdonât linger.â The door barely closed, and the only thing welcoming me was the smell of despair. Lighting:
The lampshade had stains that looked like they were part of a forensic investigation. If youâre into abstract art made of mildew and mystery fluids, this place is a gallery. Security? I had to plug the bottom of the door with towels to keep the cold air out. I didnât book a camping tripâI booked a motel.
And speaking of guests, there were actual people loitering outside my room yelling into their phones like they were auditioning for a crime drama. The air vent was hanging open like it was trying to escape. Behind it? A dark cavity that probably leads to Narnia or a raccoon family reunion. Bonus: the wall around it was cracked like it owed someone money.
Bottom line: Great location if you want to walk to dinner. Terrible if you want to sleep, breathe, or feel safe. Stay anywhere else unless you enjoy discomfort and regret. donât be fooled by the pictures they have on their website
