"The lady that checked us in was absolutely precious. The rooms were quite nice, the bed very comfortable. I did not eat breakfast that morning and didn’t even look in there so I don’t know what it was like, but it was probably great too like everything else was."

"Great hotel in a busy location. It can be hard to get in and out of the parking lot due to being right next to a Costco. Otherwise, the stay itself was great! We only stayed one night, but our room was clean and bed was comfortable. Shower was hot and had plenty of toiletries. Breakfast was also nice, with the omelettes coming in to surprise as a favorite. Overall, if we're staying in Wilmington again, we'll definitely consider here."
