The Georgetown Inn

The Georgetown Inn is a modest budget accommodation at 110 Pine Street in Georgetown, Delaware—the county seat of Sussex County and a small historic inland town approximately 12 miles west of the Delaware coast. Georgetown's downtown is anchored by the Circle, a historic public square surrounding the Sussex County Courthouse that dates to the town's 1791 founding as a planned county seat. The inn is a straightforward traveler's property providing Standard and Double Rooms with the essential amenities required for an overnight stop: free WiFi, free parking, air conditioning, and cable television. No pool, fitness center, restaurant, or spa is on-site. The Georgetown Inn serves primarily contractors, county government employees, legal professionals with business at the Sussex County courts, and budget-minded travelers who prefer a quieter inland location to coastal resort pricing during summer. Delaware's Atlantic beaches—Lewes, Rehoboth Beach, Bethany Beach, and Fenwick Island—are each accessible within a 25 to 40 minute drive, making the inn an affordable base for coastal day trips without paying peak resort accommodation rates. Georgetown itself maintains a small but authentic downtown with locally owned diners, the Sussex County Courthouse complex, and the historic Nutter D. Marvel Carriage Museum. The town also hosts the annual Return Day celebration, a unique Delaware tradition held after every election in which political opponents formally bury the hatchet in a symbolic ceremony at the Circle—an event that draws visitors from across the state. The Georgetown Inn is valued for its no-frills reliability and convenient access to Sussex County's diverse landscape of agricultural communities, state forests, and coastal destinations.
