This hotel was outstanding. It met all our needs and beyond. The room with the view of the river was very scenic. The staff was welcoming and courteous. We participated in Happy hour both nights which we never do at other hotels. The offerings for breakfast were numerous and delicious. The food was so good we also dined at the hotel for dinner overlooking the river. We most definitely will stay at this hotel the next time we visit Wilmington.
