Crosswinds Motel

Most nicer than I anticipated. No, it’s not a five star hotel, but it is very nice. The beach walk can be 15 minutes, however you can catch the bus on state street. Very clean and the staff were friendly. I would definitely stay there again. Much nicer than the dewey beach hotels!!! Loved the keurig in the room!!!

This motel is in great location since its within walking distance of Rehoboth board walk, is clean, and has parking spaces. The staff has been very friendly during our stay. The motel even has nice amenities such as a Kurieg coffee maker, mini fridge, and iPod dock. If we are in the area, we definitely will stay here again.
The downside is since its on Rehoboth Ave, it does get quite loud from the street traffic.

I’ve stayed at Crosswinds multiple times, and each time has been consistently great. They offer great rates considering they are just a few minutes from the beach and the rooms are spacious. The staff is attentive to details and friendly– from the cleaning staff to the front desk.
Not only are they attentive, but they genuinely try to offer you the best deal and service. I had an issue with my reservation and had to contact them about it, but they resolved it immediately and offered me a discount, too. This went above and beyond, because it was such a minor issue and they were so prompt and kind about resolving it, but it only cemented my glowing opinion of Crosswinds.
I plan on making a trip to Crosswinds at least annually. Great location. Clean and spacious rooms. The staff is on point. And the value can’t really be beaten.

Good place! The rooms are small, efficient, and clean, with wood floors to accommodate easy cleaning for all those returning to rooms after time on the beach. (Or at least, that’s how I saw it.) The location is excellent, right on the main drag of shops and restaurants, beside Dogfish Head and several other restaurants and bars within a block or two (let alone all the others within 5 – 6 blocks), and a 15-​minute-​or-​so walk from the beach. The staff is warm and friendly. There’s plenty of parking in the off-​season, although I don’t know how crowded it might get in the summer, especially if people were sharing rooms but not carpooling. It’s noisy being right on Rehoboth Ave., but not awful. (It is Rehoboth Ave. after all!)

Really very few complaints. The staff, Jessica and Rita were courteous and happy to help. I did have difficulty with wifi in our room, 201. After six calls to the office, I gave up. Coverage was sporadic.
The room was clean. It felt like new sheets and new pillows, no odor. No bugs inside. Only one of their ice machines worked, of course it was on the other side of the complex on the third floor.
It wasn’t noisy overnight as some have reported. The office is closed overnight but there is an emergency number posted in case it was needed.
Three loooong blocks to the beach. We didn’t walk it.
We would return again. Prices were under $ 190 per night per room. We had two doubles. Keurig coffee and maker in each room and plenty of shampoo and body wash. Management, if u r reading this, please get better soaps for guests. The half dollar size soap doesn’t cut it. Thanks!

My absolute favorite place to sty in Rehoboth! The décor is fresh and modern, the rooms are clean and cool, and their staff is on point they always go above and beyond to accommodate their guests. I love how close they are to our favorite restaurants and bars and they’re only a short distance to the beach! Will never stay at another hotel in Rehoboth again!

Only stayed here one night but if we come back to Rehoboth, I will be sure to book at Crosswinds again. The purpose of our trip was to check out the Dogfish Head brewery in Milton (HIGHLY recommend), then go to the DogFish Head Brewpub for dinner. The motel is just 2 properties over from the brewpub, so convenient! The motel is clean and the staff was very friendly. We weren’t looking for a pool or any amenities, just somewhere close to DogFish and the beach. It is maybe a 10 – 15 minute walk to the beach but we enjoyed the walk because there were plenty of eateries and little shops to check out. The price was perfect for us and we were close to the beach and restaurants. Would recommend to people who want to be close to restaurants, want to go to the beach and want a quiet place to sleep.

Excellent place to stay. It’s clean, contemporary, and the staff are exceptionally helpful. It is a little bit of a walk to the beach, but after eating Thrashers fries, Fishers popcorn, and hitting candy kitchen, the walk was needed and enjoyed! I would totally recommend this reasonably priced and well kept motel.

My husband and I greatly enjoyed our stay here. They have keycards with microchips so that they can not be demagnetized! Very courteous staff and the room was very clean. I enjoyed the décor in the room, a nice blend between contemporary and beach. The bathroom was a little snug, but there was a makeup mirror that I could bring out in the main room to finish my prep while Brandon took over the sink area. There is a Keurig Machine for coffee! I really enjoyed the Bee Kind soap and body wash, my husband had no complaints about the shampoo. The adirondack chairs were nice for coffee in the mornings. There is wifi avaliable. Grub grocery is right across the street with some snacks, a deli counter, and one of those free library spaces (take a book, leave a book). We will be staying here again.

Crosswinds is the best value I’ve ever found for a hotel. The hotel is clean and updated. It is located on Rehoboth Avenue and food, shops, spa, the beach, and bike rental are all within walking distance. Dogfish Head’s brewpub is within 200 feet. The walk to the beach takes about 10 minutes but is a nice walk down Rehoboth Avenue. With the location, updates, and price, I’m sure I’ll be back!

Was charged $ 20 for canceling a reservation with in 1 hour of making it.
Asked what they are doing with my $ 20 and was told «that’s a really good question, I’m just the manager»
Super lame

Stayed for a few days. Clean, comfortable bed, seemed recently redone. They let us charge our electric car on a wall outlet in the stairwell next to the first parking spot in the lot. We gained about 4 miles of range an hour, which allowed us to explore the area without having to find a charging station.

Had a wonderful stay at Crosswinds this pass weekend. Clean, cozy, and comfortable room. Love the colors and comforts as well as the large TV in the room. Service was excellent and Rita was fantastic. Really enjoyed the close to everything location!
The added bonus was being able to walk to Dogfish Head.

Crosswinds Motel had it all. It was clean, comfortable, cozy… AND…they had a Keurig machine in every room! The staff was friendly and awesome, and gave us extra towels when we came back all gross from the beach. The location was also pretty perfect. It’s right on Rehoboth Avenue, about a 15 minute walk from the beach, and it’s across the street from a grocery store and right next door to Dogfish Head Brewpub. You really can’t go wrong by staying at this place.
I’d definitely recommend this place to any/​all friends traveling to the area. Thanks, Crosswinds Motel! You guys were great.

I stayed at the Crosswinds Motel in May this year. It was very affordable and in a great location (right next to dog fish head on the main drag). The rooms were very clean and had a refrigerator and a flat screen tv. They do not have staff working 24 hours/​day and I think that partly contributes to the lower prices, however, the owner gave me her personal cell phone number and said if i had any problems I could call her anytime. I would recommend requesting a 1^st floor room if you have trouble climbing steps. I did not notice an elevator and I stayed on the 3^rd floor. I would highly recommend staying at the Crosswinds while in Rehoboth. If you are looking for a very fancy hotel this may not be your place though.

In reading the existing reviews for Crosswinds, I feel that there is very little I could add. Everyone pretty much nailed it. Clean, cozy, affordable, great staff, next to Dog Fish, not too far from the beach (but still a hike when carrying all of the necessary gear), quiet, accomodating,…I think I covered it all.
My only separate input would be that I attempted to get a room online about 5 days before my trip. I was only able to get 1 night (i wanted 2). I thought it was odd that I didnt receive any email conformation of my purchase, so I called Crosswinds 2 days before the trip. They had no record of my reservation!!! My heart sank.
Im not sure which staff member I spoke to, but she was amazingly helpful and was able to get me not only the exact room I wanted, but the exact room I wanted… for 2 nights. It worked out well and I was really pleased.
The wi-​fi thing. I noticed that a Crosswindsguest option popped up, but I never got around to asking about it. Through other reviews I see you have to pay for it (note: may not be the most reliable source,) Wifi is becoming an amenity thats almost as important, nay, more important than a TV. This place goes to 5 star if that happens. Like others, I was able to pick up Starbucks wifi when it was open, but I had to be sitting in a certain place in the room and oddly, I had to be naked. Really freaked my kids out.

What a lovely hotel! And the staff are so friendly. It was clean. It’s in a perfect location to the downtown and beach area. And what bonus that it’s next door to one of the greatest breweries on earth — Dogfish Head Brewery. I’d recommend anyone to stay here. It’s a great place!

I went here in Summer 2011 but I just thought about doing a review. This motel is excellent, the price was great ($ 200 for 3 nights), the staff was super friendly, the location was good for what I wanted and the room was nice.
This hotel is about 2 blocks away from the beach which was fine with me because it wasn’t as loud as a hotel on the beach might be. The walk wasn’t bad for me or my 4 and 6 year old boys.
Each room has a Keurig coffee machine which is a nice little touch to have. They have free Wi-​Fi but it wouldn’t work no matter what I tried to do, but most of the time I could just tap into Starbucks’ which is right across the street. (SHHHH don’t tell them!)
I’m already looking at prices for this year so we can go back.

Clean, not very noisy as i could tell. Good restaurants DIRECTLY next door. The lady up front was nice, even had a spare wine bottle opener! They have Keurig machines in the rooms — fantastic and a mini fridge even!
Reasonably price given the location — and only 3 blocks from the beach.
They werent open in the morning when we went for checkout at 10am. it was mothers day, so i’m not sure if that had anything to do with it? We had to leave our keys in the mailbox. Very uhh. not secure.
Private lot too, which means you dont have to fight for parking.

Decent motel with excellent service in Rehoboth Beach. My wife and I decided to take a spur-​of-​the-​moment overnight trip to Rehoboth. I looked up hotels in Rehoboth Beach on Unilocal and the few options available were either booked or required 3 night stays. So I resorted to using another review site which shall not be named and began calling from #1 down. I ended up at Crosswinds Motel, which was #4 on the list, and they had one room left. They do require a minimum stay, it was after all the end of the summer season, but since they only had one room left, they were willing to take us for one night. She even gave us a 10% discount, which was an unexpected, but definitely welcome surprise.
Location — Located just across the street from the Cultured Pearl, the website says it’s 3 blocks to the boardwalk. I’m not really sure how long a city block is, but it took us about 15 – 20 minutes to get down to the boardwalk, so my guess is it was a little less than a mile. Cloud 9, Summerhouse, Fins, Dogfish, and Cultured Pearl are all very close, and there are enough shops to look at that the walk down to the boardwalk doesn’t seem overly long. There aren’t very many parking spaces, so each room is given one parking space. The main lobby is very tiny and located apart from the rooms. Several other notes:
1) I only noticed one room on the first floor and I didn’t see an elevator, so I wouldn’t recommend this location for those in wheelchairs or have general disdain for taking the stairs.
2) Non-​smoking — YAY! The designated smoking areas are located near the stairs, so you have to walk by. Boo!
3) Paid Wi-​Fi = no Unilocaling in your room
Service — the staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable of good places to eat in the area.
Room — the room was clean and typical of most motels. There was a small, flat screen TV but the reception for many of the stations was poor, but we don’t watch much TV so that wasn’t a big deal. They provided plenty of towels and there’s a hair dryer in your room. The beds were fairly comfortable but the pillows weren’t too great and the top flat sheet felt like high grit sandpaper.
My two gripes with the room:
1) Not very soundproof. We were located right next to the stairs, so every time people went out for a smoke, we heard their entire conversation.
2) The condition shampoo was terrible. I have pretty thick hair, so the texture of my hair ranges from brillo pad to slightly softer brillo pad. In fact, I once broke a clipper at hair cuttery b/​c the guy improperly lubricated it. But I digress. This shampoo made my hair feel like a used brillo pad — ungood. My wife commented that it seemed like dishwashing detergent. So unless you want huge knots/​tangles, I’d recommend bringing your own shampoo.
Overall, a great motel in Rehoboth Beach. I would definitely recommend this place for those looking for a basic room, who don’t mind walking, and would rather be located closer to the nice restaurants. For those that don’t want to walk and would rather be closer to the boardwalk, I’d recommend the Atlantis Inn.
