Location to beach was in the original booking, stated within walking distance to the beach. This would be true if younger, and in good physical shape. Room for a queen size room was not very large at all. Staff was nice enough to move me to a king-size room for my second night. Which was much better. found the staff to be kind and courteous, but the room very disappointing.

Located on main road leading to beach but still quiet! Easily walkable to restaurants, beach too if you are ambitious . Rooms are updated and lovely. Our room was small, no place to hang clothes so I would pay more for bigger space next time. Front desk staff were so knowledgeable and informative. Kitchen area by office was nice - continental breakfast very basic but coffee was excellent! Unfortunately , 1 day into stay, we had to leave for an emergency. The hotel graciously gave us a full refund for nights we didn’t use. In our rush to leave, I left a necklace in the room. Diana found it when she cleaned room and sent me a text and they are mailing it to me. Most of our trips Don’t involve so Much drama, but I was so appreciative of the kindness and understanding offered by The staff at Ocean Glass. I look Forward to returning!

Dirty room, broken toilet, MIA maintenance person

I would not stay here again or recommend anyone else stay here. The room had a musty smell immediately when we walked in. The sheets were stained and the shower curtain was moldy. The toilet broke the first day we were there and even though I let the receptionist know immediately, it was still broken when we checked out 3 days later. They said their maintenance person was "out" and didn't offer any sort of comp for the terrible experience.

Super friendly and wonderful staff, quiet and cozy place to stay at Rehoboth with a very clean and rustic feel. They offer a nice continental breakfast and coffee all day. It's a bit of a distance from the ocean, though, and the location is in an area of high volume of traffic, but is very quiet and restful. There was not a single issue. Recommended!

False advertising. The property site notes an afternoon reception that the check in person simply said was no longer offered. Breakfast was very disappointing. I stayed here 2 summers ago and it was wonderful. I chose it based on that experience - lovely breakfast and great afternoon reception. Otherwise, just an ok place.

STAY CLEAR OF THIS PLACE!

Rooms were dirty. Got bed bug bites on feet and legs. They never cleaned the floor of the room and it’s a beach hotel. Doesn’t make sense. I did ask for the room to be serviced so that’s not an excuse. The people who work there don’t know what a clean, odorless stay should be like. And, no towels were replaced so that’s a joke. This seems to be owned by the Waypointe owners who treat Ocean Glass as an afterthought. I would not stay here again.

The shower was a concern as water wouldn't exit down the drain quickly and my daughter was showering with standing water which could constitute a health concern, especially in a publicly utilized bathroom such as a hotel room. I, therefore did not take a shower after we discovered it was not draining properly. Also, the AC unit would not allow us to change the temperature, it was freezing in our room last night. The only option was on or off. Off setting made it feel humid and warm, and on setting was freezing, no in between. There were no coffee cups at breakfast time and plastic cups were substituted in place of coffee cups, no creamer for the coffee, regular milk substitution instead.The one employee we encountered this morning was pleasant and polite.

Enjoyable stay at Ocean Glass Inn

We really enjoy staying at Ocean Glass Inn for our second visit! We liked having a kitchen in the unit. Everything is very clean and the staff are super nice. There is even a shuttle to the beach if you do not want to face the parking madness, Some parts of our unit were a little cramped, so if you have mobility issues be sure to ask for advice from the staff.

No Keurig in cottage as advertised. Coffee machine did not work correctly in office/ lounge. Continental breakfast poor - hardly anything available at 8:00a.m. Rug beside bed filthy. Bed hard to get in and out of. We stayed there last year and loved this place. New ownership now. That was the excuse for any question we had. What a difference a year makes!

Great, low-key beach stay

Service was friendly, prompt, and efficient. They sometimes assist at their other neighbor property, but it’s a literal 2 minute walk between properties so the wait is super minimal. (Still faster, better and friendlier service than most chain hotels.) They have beach equipment that they’ll let you borrow for free—not fancy or brand new, but in working order and saves you the trouble of hauling in your own or paying for the rentals at the beach. (Rentals cost $40/day for 1 umbrella and 2 chairs, so that adds up fast!) We found it a nice touch and it really made our trip easier. Breakfast is light continental (think coffee, juices, apples/oranges, yogurts, mini muffins and things to toast); perfect if you’re not a heavy breakfast eater. If you want something more substantial, there’s a breakfast restaurant literally across the street and several other options less than 10 minutes walk away. The building itself is older, but they did a good job on the renovations. The whole place has a low key, beachy vibe. Each room has its own bench outside, which was perfect for post-beach snacking or morning coffee drinking as well as drying out your beach towels. They have some group outdoor spaces, too, if you want more space. The hotel is right on the main road to downtown Rehobeth, so the traffic is a little loud when the road is busy. The traffic and noise dies off almost completely at night, though. We were at the very end and next to the road, and it didn’t bother us at all.
