by davecallahan We needed a motel reasonably priced that was near highways to get to both Wilmington and Dover, somewhat near I-95 for arrival and departure and near relatives living in the Wrangle Hill area of Bear. And we found this great little motel right on route 13, right near where it meets US40. Route 13 was convenient to get to Dover and Wilmington and US40 was good route to get to relatives home over in one of those cul-de-sac streets with an italian name. The motel price was below average for the area ($62 including all charges, in 2004) and yet had all the amenties we needed. The rooms were average size, two beds, desk, table with chair, TV cabinet, night stand. The bathroom was tub with shower and was very clean. There was a small refrigerator and a microwave and a coffee maker. All of the furniture and room dressings were old style but not nicked or frayed. The rugs were new and the walls had been painted recently. The staff was very friendly and efficient at keeping the room clean and stocked for our 5-day stay. It appeared that they were all from one large family who owned and operated the premises. The only problem we had was a slight language barrier; they had problems with our New York accent and we had difficulty with there Indian accent. But with a lot of "pardon" and "could you say that again, please", we got along just fine. A continental breakfast was supplied each day in the hotel: toast, coffee, danish, u-make waffles, juice. Unique Qualities: It was conveniently located for our needs and priced within our budget. One minor problem was getting into the motel driveway from US40 heading east. You had to slide over 4 lanes (two from US40 and two from route13 where they merge) from left to right in a block and one-half. This was tricky during traffic times. Often we would bypass the motel and get the U-turn at the next light and approach the motel from the east. Then we only had the two lanes of route 13 to cross to get to the motel.
It was conveniently located for our needs and priced within our budget. Theme: MotelPrice: US$20-40 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than averageAddress: 232 S Dupont Hwy, New Castle, DE 19720Directions: right on route 13 near where it meets US40

 The Terry House by tpangelinan

by kooka3 This is a typical Motel 6. Rooms were big, but simply furnished with a queen bed, a small desk with a chair, a little table with another chair, and a tv. They have about 15 channels, including HBO. Bathroom was nice with soft towels. Don't expect a lot of little toiletries left there, though - they only had soap. The shower stall was kind of small, but the water was hot and it did the job so I can't complain. People were very nice, and they even called my room about 10 minutes after check in to make sure everything was all set and to see if I needed anything - I never had that happen at a hotel/motel before! They had security guards in the lobby and I had show ID when I checked in. I'm really not sure what that was all about - but nice that there is security around, I guess.
They didn't really have too many extra facilities - there was an ice machine and vending machines in the lobby, and they had free coffee from 7-10 am. This is pretty much the cheapest place in town to stay, and it's right off the highway.
