From the first step I took into the lobby, the stay was perfect. Staff was friendly and acted as though they knew me. The lobby, breakfast area, halls and rooms were spotless. Every staff member I encounter from the front desk, housekeeping, maintenance and breakfast staff were friendly and happy. Any time I visit Wilmington from now on, this is where I’ll be staying

In room coffee pot was obviously broken. Bathroom looked tired. Receptionists were nice. I called this property before going to Expedia and was told there were no rooms available for Saturday night. Fortunately, I was able to book through Expedia. On check-in I found out there were still 12 rooms available.
