I had a good experience. This was a mid range hotel. The staff were welcoming, professional, and friendly. The room could use updating but was clean. Bed was comfortable. The highlight was the included breakfast and coffee. It was surprisingly very good. I would stay there again

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I like the room, the free parking, the location was great and Continental breakfast was good. The only thing was there was a weird smell when the heat would turn on.
From the first step I took into the lobby, the stay was perfect. Staff was friendly and acted as though they knew me. The lobby, breakfast area, halls and rooms were spotless. Every staff member I encounter from the front desk, housekeeping, maintenance and breakfast staff were friendly and happy. Any time I visit Wilmington from now on, this is where I’ll be staying
Staff was very friendly and helpful. Bathroom floors were somewhat sticky, but overall the room was clean. The complimentary breakfast was tasty with lots of options.
Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was clean but housekeeping cleaned only on the second night of my three day stay. Breakfast was minimal, plenty of coffee, teas, etc. Oatmeal and the usual waffle maker.

Very nice place to stay good breakfast clean and quiet
Really lovely hotel. Amazing staff from the front desk to housekeeping and the breakfast staff. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and always providing a smile to the guests. The breakfast was better than other hotels at double the price. This is the best value in Wilmington, and it's not even close. We are building a home in Wilmington and will always stay at this hotel until our house in completed,
Staff was super friendly and professional. Breakfast was great the lounge area had a great ambiance and good setting. Didn't have enough tome to check out the pool area but did look around the corner and it looked just as good very clean and nice outdoor seating
Hands down best included breakfast we've had. Staff was so helpful, brought back a late dinner and forgot forks! They kindly showed me where I could grab some. We brought our dog with us. All staff had a smile whenever they saw her. We will be back!
