Delaware has four hotels ranked nationally in a sleep quality survey.
Four Delaware hotels have been recognized among the best in the country for sleep quality, according to a new national study that evaluated Tripadvisor review data with a focus on one key — and often overlooked — factor: how well guests sleep.
The analysis, conducted by sleep research site SleepJunkie, examined thousands of traveler reviews to identify the top 200 hotels across the U.S. where guests consistently praised sleep-related experiences.
These included everything from mattress comfort and room temperature to noise levels and overall nighttime tranquility.

Topping the list for Delaware was the Boardwalk Plaza Hotel in Rehoboth Beach, which ranked #38 nationally.
The Victorian-style, oceanfront property was praised for its combination of comfort and cleanliness.
Other Delaware hotels recognized for superior sleep quality include:
- Seaside Inn, Fenwick Island — Ranked #61, guests highlighted its cozy beds and laid-back vibe.
- Hotel Blue, Lewes — At #75, this boutique coastal hotel drew praise for its modern amenities and restful ambiance.
- Hyatt Place Dewey Beach, Dewey Beach — Ranking #155, this bayside stay earned accolades for its plush bedding.
The study’s top honors nationally went to Skytop Lodge in the Poconos, Pennsylvania, followed by The Historic Cavalier Hotel in Virginia Beach, and Omni Mount Washington Resort & Spa in New Hampshire.
According to SleepJunkie spokesperson Kristina Hindes, the findings reveal a shift in what travelers value most.
“We often focus on pools, spas, and breakfast buffets – but when it comes to how guests actually rate their stay, sleep quality quietly wins,” Hindes said. “These hotels prove that a great mattress, a quiet room, and the right atmosphere can turn a good trip into an unforgettable one.”
An accompanying infographic released by SleepJunkie highlights all 200 hotels recognized in the rankings, which include properties across beach destinations, mountain retreats, and bustling cities.
