Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Staff was very friendly & accommodating. Rooms could have been a little cleaner, but I also have a type A personality. Wasn't a fan of the carpet in all of the rooms. The 2 days we were there seem to house a lot of out of state workers, mostly men, left me a little uneasy, especially because it was just myself and my daughter traveling. I understand it's out of their control, however, there were cameras everywhere.

This hotel in Wilmington is a good choice if you’re simply looking for a comfortable place to spend the night rather than a luxury resort or spa-style hotel. It offers excellent value for the price. One of the best features is that the rate includes free parking and breakfast, and the hotel also has a nice indoor pool, which was a pleasant bonus. The hotel is about 25 minutes from the beach, so it’s not the most convenient option if your main goal is to spend your days at the beach. However, if you don’t mind the short drive, it’s a great way to save money while still enjoying everything the Wilmington area has to offer. Overall, the price was very reasonable, the hotel met our needs, and I would definitely stay here again.

overall very nice with a good breakfast included - something getting harder and harder to find. Only issue, always seems that there is only one operating elevator, which can cause some jam ups. Otherwise, very good and very friendly staff as well.
