The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Dover By IHG

Comfort Meets Convenience Near Dover’s Top Venues

Modern and hassle-free, the Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Dover offers a comfortable stay just minutes from Dover’s biggest attractions and music events. Positioned near North Dupont Highway and less than 3 miles from Dover International Speedway, this 2-star hotel balances convenience with comfort. With a sun terrace, outdoor pool, and free buffet breakfast, it’s a low-key spot to recharge after a big night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is key—and this hotel delivers. Just a short drive from Dover’s main concert venues, including the Speedway, it’s a smart pick if you want to avoid late-night travel dramas. Check-in starts at 3:00 PM and check-out isn’t until noon, giving you flexibility for those late-night shows. The hotel’s quiet setting and no-smoking policy make it a peaceful place to crash post-concert.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a convenient and affordable base
  • Solo travelers attending big-ticket shows
  • Couples planning a low-stress weekend getaway
  • Fans needing downtime after a loud night out
  • Budget-conscious guests who still want comfort and amenities

Food and Drink Options

The hotel offers a daily buffet breakfast—perfect for sleeping in after a late night. While there’s no full-service restaurant on-site, you’ll find several fast food spots and casual dining options within walking distance. The hotel also has a shared lounge area with vending machines for quick snacks.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel keeps things quiet on-site, you're not far from local bars and casual nightlife. Whether you're heading out for a nightcap or keeping it chill in the lounge, the location makes it easy to do both.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the friendly staff, clean rooms, and great value. Many mention the convenience to the Speedway and other local attractions, making it a reliable choice for event weekends. The breakfast selection and easy parking also get high marks.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel isn’t flashy, and there’s no on-site restaurant or bar, so if you're looking for a buzzing nightlife scene within the hotel, this may not be it. Some guests note the decor is a bit dated, but it's clean and functional.

The Bottom Line

If you’re seeking a budget-friendly, comfortable stay close to Dover’s concert venues, Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Dover is a solid, no-fuss choice that gets the job done.

Very Good - 4.0 out of 5

Robert L, Chesapeake VA Mon, 26 March 2012

Price and location was good for me to go to the Casino and visit the mall. I will come back again in September for my birthday and will be in the right place.

Liked: Room was great. Having breakfast free for two days was good - good on my wallet and prevented me eating at McDonalds.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Leslie Sun, 18 May 2025

Disappointing

Disliked: I found two unnecessary charges on my debit card. When I spoke to the gentleman at the front desk about it he explained to me that I was somehow double booked which still didn’t make since because I only booked one room that I was presently staying in. I seen the 50 dollar charge for incidentals on my account which was from May 9, the next day I checked my account again which was Saturday May 10 I had another charge of 140.92 cents on my account. On Sunday when I checked out on May 11 it was another 50 dollar charge on my account that shouldn’t been on my account! The gentleman at that front desk was not pleasant with me when I addressed him about the unnecessary charges on my account. I explained to him that I had spoken with the other front desk agent and he admitted to over booking me he wanted to argue with me about it instead of trying to resolve the issue for me! The unnecessary pending charges that were added to my account finally came off of my account on May 14. I will never stay at this hotel again, because no one should be adding unnecessary charges to someone’s account and you also need to hire someone more suitable, knowledgeable, professional and customer friendly when assisting guest at your hotel!
