It's a nice hotel if you're looking for a scenic place to stay. We understand it's considered an historic property, but it could use some updating especially with regards to ease of charging mobile devices and air conditioning

A Great Place to Stay in Wilmington

Was pleasantly surprised how nice this place was. The staff was very helpful, and the restaurant had excellent food. It was only 4 miles from the World Equestrian Center and the Catholic Church was right across the street. I'm planning on staying there again next time I come back.

Overnight stay

We had heard about the hotel on a TV show and it sounded interesting. We stayed one night, a Saturday, as an anniversary getaway. It was very nice, the food was excellent and we had fun on the patio listening to music.

What a charming place! We found this little gem and so happy that we did. Typically don’t stay at a hotel that doesn’t have a pool for the kids, but it was a one night stay and figured they wouldn’t have time for swimming anyway. So glad that we chose it. Staff is super friendly. We ate at the restaurant and the food was amazing! Cocktails were delicious. Our room was cute, we traveled with friends and our room was like a little apartment. We each had our own bedroom and bathroom. Cute little living room. Beds were super comfy and we slept very well. Breakfast was a grab and go, plenty of options to pick from. I hope we find a reason to come back.

Stumbled on to a GEM!!!

We got to the door just in time as they were about to close. The girl at check-in was waiting with our keys and paperwork. She took us to our 4th floor room in the coolest old school elevator, employee only operated! The bed was incredibly comfortable. The room was spacious and clean. If we’re ever back in Wilmington this is where we’ll stay!

A fine old property to stay for a great price.

Great old building with an elevator operator. Really nice kitchen area with food for breakfast, or any time. convenient parking. This is an old building, so do not expect a lot of modern frills. ai really enjoyed the stay here, and it was a great deal for the money.

Loved the unique and historic qualities of the hotel! Rooms and decor were clean and thoughtful. The continental breakfast was well-done for a small space. Only issue was the lack of staff onsite and communication about the check-in/check-out process. Elevator not available without staff. It worked out but was confusing. Would still definitely go back!

Hotel was good the only issues I had was after staff went home you couldn’t use the elevator, you had to use the stairs. And the Wi-Fi in my room wouldn’t work I had to go into the hallway and there is no way to control the ac in the room because the building was central air . No controls in the room. There was someone using a jackhammer inside the hotel till 1 o’clock in the morning my first night . Couldn’t sleep

Perfect location for visiting Wilmington. The area outside of the hotel was cute, but a lot of empty storefronts and closed businesses. There are church bells that go off at random times and for long periods of time. One morning we counted 42 very loud dings. No fault of the General Denver of course. Their staff at the front desk and restaurant were awesome and both hotel and restaurant were nice. If I go back to Wilmington, this is the only place I would stay!
