It was a very comfortable room. Bathroom sink just isn’t practical and our shower handle plate was loose and swinging. Otherwise nice for the price. It’s right on the waterfront

Window was extremely dirty..called front desk and they took care of it right away. I recommend valet as well as a room with a Riverview. The pool deck and pool could use a good cleaning. Perfect located to enjoy all Wilmington has to offer

Disappointed; not worth the price

Sadly, we were disappointed with this hotel. It is pricey. The location is great and the view of the river is nice. But our room was very dirty. The hotel and room looked a bit shabby. Not worth the price.
Wade, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location on the Historic downtown waterfront. Select a waterfront room (odd # rooms) for a great view. Great a/c, water pressure, and swimming area.

Clean and simple hotel just what we were looking for for two nights.
Shey, 2-night trip

Weekend getaway.

Room was really nice. But no refrigerator. Breakfast was best we've had in a long time. Only problem was the blind was broken in the down position.
Edward, 2-night trip

Won’t be back

For this to be a four star hotel I was not impressed. Hotel room floor had crumbs and dust bunnies around the bed. Carpet in hallways was dingy and smelly. Bar area felt like it was 20 degrees. We couldn’t enjoy our meal.
