Horrible and unprofessional
1) When I was checking in, the clerk asked for a credit card and was talking on his cell phone the entire time. When I gave him my credit card, he argued with me and said it was not a credit card. He acted very arrogant and unprofessional. 2) The hotel advertised an indoor heated pool. It was not heated and when I did ask for towels the same clerk said he would get me some, and instead he plopped on a couch by the pool and commenced to talk on his cell phone. 3) Housekeeping did not come clean our room for our entire three-day stay. The clerk said if I gave him my used towels, he would bring me clean linen.I gave him the dirty and never received clean linen. 4) The door to our room would not completely close. To get it to latch, we had to lift on the door when we closed it. 5) When I told the clerk at check out about all the issues and asked for a partial refund, he replied "No refund for any reason."

The air conditioner never worked correctly. It was warm and humid in my room despite several attempts by staff to fix it. Finally on the last night when I was given a new remote for it. That night the room was cooler but returned to warm blowing air in the morning. The breakfast offerings are subpar. The second morning there was no coffee in the urns, no cups(warm or cold) on the counters. There were crumbs, wrappers, etc left all over counters and tables. The hotel does not have enough help. The same young man was there from check in to check out 3 days later. I feel the Downtown Dover Inn is very poorly managed.

The pool is not heated and had an abundance amount of Chlorine, the tv did not work, our room smelled like a lot of smoking was happening and when we asked to switch rooms, we were told there was nothing they can do. The pictures online must be from ages ago, that is not how the place looks currently. Not a pleasant stay.

This property had some good points. The pool looked clean and nice so if you had kids or loved swimming that’s a perk. We stayed in 2 rooms, beginning and end of trip. Both had been updated and seemed clean. You could walk and find groceries, restaurants, stores and even a cool museum complex just 15 min walk away. Now the bad points. The rugs in the rooms were filthy. The ice machine was not working and the breakfast provided was bagged muffins, bread, fruit, and instant oatmeal. Coffee wasn’t always ready at opening either. No microwave in the rooms. For a one or two night stay when flying into Pease Airport, it’s fine, only a 15-20 minutes ride and the cheapest option around. I wouldn’t want anything longer though.

Would never recommend
This was one of the worst places we’ve stayed at all summer (we’ve traveled a lot!). The write up promised a continental breakfast, heated pool, and decent looking rooms. We discovered a DIRTY floor (my daughters feet were BLACK) so I asked the front desk worker if someone could run a vacuum real quick, no big deal, he opened the door and pointed at a vacuum and said “here” signaling that I needed to vacuum the floor myself. There were bugs on the floor, flies all over the place, and homeless people all over the place. The continental breakfast was not much of a breakfast, the bananas had flies on them, there was no coffee, and the room was dirty

The rooms weren’t horrible. The breakfast area was awful. There was very little food available. There was moldy bread in baggies available for toast. One kind of cold cereal, and very few hot cereal packages available. It was dirty and the toaster was not in working order. There were only a few pieces of fruit. The hotel was the bad part of the town. The parking lot was pretty sketching after dark and many people just sitting outside smoking on the stairways. The town itself was very quaint and seemed great!

This was a necessary stop as we were travelling through the state - this was the only accommodations at a reasonable price in the area. Although, they tried, and we could see the effort - this inn missed the mark. The room was ok - bed was comfortable enough, but the carpet left something to be desired- shoes indoors are a must in this place.the bathroom in our room looked like it was newly redone, which was nice. Parking was limited, but free. Pool looked nice and clean, but due to our short turn around we didn’t use it. Check in was simple enough and we were greeted, which was nice. At check out, no one was available. We called as per their sign and waited but still no one showed up. We had to just leave the key cards on the desk. There is no smoking in the rooms, which is a given, but smoking took place every other place, including on the stairs, out front of the office - as non-smokers this was a little off-putting. Our room came with free breakfast, but upon arrival in the small room hosting breakfast, it was extremely underwhelming and we opted to eat on our way out of town. In all honesty, small changes to this inn (changing out the carpets, variety for breakfast/don’t put food items in zippy bags, no smoking in front of rooms) would make the world of difference.

Overall good experience at the Downtown Dover Inn
Overall it was a good stay. The gentleman running the desk was helpful and polite, especially when we had an issue with the door. The room looked like the photos and was clean. Checking in and out was easy. The website claims there are streaming services available which is not true. The hotel attracts people that are openly using or buying substances.
