What are the cheapest and closest hotels for Phish fans interested in attending the Mondegreen festival The Woodlands of Dover this summer?

The cheapest hotel is at the SureStay Plus By Best Western Brandywine Valley near Wilmington for $105.67 per night (about 50 minutes north of Dover).

The closest hotel we found was in Milford, about 26 minutes south of Dover, at the Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Milford for $392.23 per night.

Meanwhile, the most expensive hotel on our list is at Fenwick Shores, Tapestry Collection by Hilton for $660 per night.

We looked up hotel room availability for the dates of Mondegreen, Aug. 15-18, for hotels roughly within a 55-mile radius (or about 1 hour away) from Bally's Dover Casino Resort, which is where day parking is available at the festival.

Trey Anastasio of Phish performs at Bridgestone Arena on the first night of a three day stop in Nashville, Tenn., Friday night, Oct. 6, 2023.

Here are the 40-plus hotels we came up. (Bear in mind, these hotel prices are per night unless stated otherwise, and if you don't see a state listed in a hotel's address, then assume it's located here in Delaware.)
