Home away from home.
My stay was satisfactory, I only needed a place to lay down and wash and for the price I couldn’t beat it, check in is always fast and convenient.

I’m going to rate this based on what the price is and not compare to higher priced hotels that I normally stay at. I was here for Amish bike ride. It was just me and I’m very easy going. The good: - Cost - Fast food. Walk to Wendy’s and McDonald’s are couple doors down. - Convenient stores. Wawa is 5 min drive. - Fairly quiet. I only saw a few cars parked there though. - Non smoking. I got non smoking room and no smell of smoke. - Air conditioner - worked. - No bugs. I didn’t see anything. - Microwave and fridge worked. - Parking - got space in front of room. It was a little empty though. - Businesses - it’s on a busy street so lots of other options if looking for something. Bad - No shampoo. I asked for and didn’t have. - There was dirty towel or was clean with dirt marks. - Visually looked clean but if look closely little dirty. There was actually some dog throw up or something in corner under chair. - Tv - not sure if expecting too much at this price point but tv had no HD. And seemed to only have access to basic channels. I gave it 4 stars based on the price. Would I stay here again - possible but may check out other cheap hotels down the street. I wouldn’t bring my family here unless needed to.

My Stay
We come to Dover each year for a special event. We stay at First State Inn.This was our third year and we will continue to stay there. Good value for the money. It lacks the bells and whistles such as a pool and gym...we have no time for anyway...it is clean and the air is strong. Both the microwave and fridge worked. It was quiet. Many places to eat and/or shop nearby.

Phish Festival for the win
When 50,000 people descend on Dover to attend a phish festival and you decide to go late in the game, don't wanna camp in the muggy weather, you pivot and take a room with air conditioner. That was the best part of the room. Normally $75 we got $250 rate because they could. Room hasn't been updated in 20 plus years. Reached of cigarette smoke and air freshener. Carpet had cigarette burns everywhere. Bathroom was stained and gross. But there was a hot shower and a fridge. Normally you get what you pay for... not in this case. Would I stay there again. Maybe if I was as desperate as I was this time around.

The motel is very clean checkin was very good even though we didn’t get there till midnight. The only thing is that the bed was very hard. My husband said it was fine but not for me

2/10 Poor

I assume because the surrounding area was close to several stores and diners that I would experience a great motel for its price, but the stench of the cigarettes was horrible. I don’t understand how this hotel is still up and standing! I traveled 3 hours away for a gathering but ended up in hospital at 2 am from the Stich of the smell on the room. When I asked to exchange room, the old man did not understand how horrible the smell was and how it affected my asthma. I would never recommend anyone to visit this place…
