Comfortable stay for good price
Comfortable, clean suites in Wilmington. I came here for a half-ironman race and this was a perfect type of space and was conveniently located near a lot of shops and restaurants. Great quality for the price.

We stayed four nights and it was very comfortable. The free breakfast was nice. The patio off of the breakfast room looked great with freshly planted flowers. We would recommend this hotel to anyone.

Very nice.
The room was better than expected. I loved the separation of the sleep area from the living area. The kitchen area was well equipped including cooking utensils, dishes and a toaster. The staff was very professional. If I had to make a suggestion, it would be to expand the breakfast options.

The staff was friendly, the bed was quite comfortable, the price was reasonable. The only flaw is that the breakfast offerings were pretty meager, we ended up going elsewhere for breakfast on a couple days.

8/10 Very good

Sharing a pool on the other area and not having enough towels, both times that we went to use it. Also with the Continental breakfast offer, there was nothing for people with bariatric surgery who cannot have carbs or sugars so I was limited to eating nothing for breakfast
Sandra, 2-night family trip
Verified Hotels.com guest review

8/10 Very good

Staff was very friendly. Room was clean however the couch and mattress were a little outdated from frequent use. May be time to upgrade some of them. Overall , not a bad stay. The worst thing was the constant smell of marijuana in the stairwell. I don’t care what you do outside but obviously someone wasn’t considerate indoors.

The sitting area in the back is Besutiful. The elevators were very scary, felt like it was going to break down. The room i stayed in had a bad odor when we opened the door, it had an old smell as if animals were housed or kept in the room. Animal hairs were all over the room.

6/10 Good

Cute room, spacious suite, nice staff, good location, easy parking, great price, 10/10. Had an unexpected third tenant by the name of Roach, refused to split the cost. And the front desk nicely told us that we were on our own, -1. Malnourished bed bugs, took us for a feast, -1. Hotel is likely haunted, had random human hair balls show up in bed on the third night, definitely not my hair and not there before. Quit a couple of them pop up throughout the night. Very comfortable bed, but nightmares and constant awakenings for all three of us (roach included) every single night. Totally recommended to be added onto the Ghost Walk location list, -1. Breakfast, yes; hot breakfast, no, -1. No toiletries besides soap, -1. Cop searching for a missing child at 2am, not the hotel’s fault though, bless the family, -0. Very enchanted experience, 5/10, might try it again.
