Honestly don’t want to give this a 5 star, only because I don’t want it to get booked up when we come back to visit! This place is amazing, from service to staff to rooms! 10 out of 10! Will absolutely be back.

The low stars are for the breakfast part...it was awful some of it inedible.... servers the same low quality hotel meal 3 days in a row....very upsetting the eggs where crap the sausage was a banquet microwave style. The coffee was colored water no effort put in to what shiuld be the most impressive part.... we booked expecting what was shown on the website but it all lies... its more like econo lodge buffet bueatiful rooms and building a d that's it ...
We didnt feel welcomed wont be back... because a quality meal is just as important as nights rest
This is the most perfect place you can stay if you’re visiting Wilmington. Beautiful rooms, wonderful service, walking distance to all things downtown/riverwalk. I will definitely stay again! 5 STARS
