Amazing hotel and best value in Wilmington

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,
