Wonderful

We loved our stay. The location was amazing with a spectacular view of the river. The room was clean, the bed was so comfortable we wanted to take it home. The pillows weren’t the normal small flat pillows we usually find in hotel rooms. The front desk ladies were super nice and helpful.
The only thing negative I would have to say is I didn’t like paying to park in their parking lot. A pool would have been nice even though I knew it didn’t have one when I booked it. There wasn’t enough towels in the room and if you wanted the room serviced you had to request it. I always take our own towels because no hotel gives you enough. These are not reasons I would not recommend staying there.
I’d recommend it to anyone and will definitely stay there again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Very nice hotel and great location on the Boardwalk. Great little dog run, too. Our room was not very large, but everything fit well and was designed just right - there was a place for everything.
The good points were good location and nice desk staff. Room size was adequate, which included a small fridge and coffee maker (no tea). AC had to work hard in the summer heat but room stayed cool. Bed, linens and pillows were OK but showing signs of wear. The Riverwalk behind the hotel was lovely. Unfortunately, the shower had very moldy grout that badly needed replacing. The outlet in the bathroom was not functional (we informed the desk clerk of these problems after check in ). Bathroom doors showed evidence of prior water damage that had been painted over. Deadbolt to room did not engage. Room service was not provided daily but perhaps this was due to short staffing on a holiday weekend (additional towels and such were available at front desk). Breakfast area is very small and options were just OK. For those interested in cooling off, this hotel does not have a pool.
This Hotel is very clean, quite, and a great location on the riverfront. My wife and visit Wilmington alot, we have just found a perfect location for a quite getaway. We loved our room located on the 1st floor looking out on the river, and across to the U S.S North Carolina. Yes we will be staying here again in the near future. 10 out of 10 Stars.
The staff was super helpful. The room was clean and looked to be updated. The location was great. I only had two issues. One was parking. While it did have parking it was limited because it was a small lot that was shared with two other places.
The second was the pet charge. One I had a service dog so normally I don't need to pay those. But most places have a cleaning fee anywhere from 30-70 dollars. Theirs was 150 and it was not posted anywhere when I reserved the room. Hell when I stayed at the hyatt a few months ago theirs was only 50. I didn't find out till I checked in the the fee was $150.
So be aware of that if your traveling with your pet.
The pictures are deceiving! The property does not look like the pictures at all. In a very sketchy area with people constantly passing your room for no reason
Good visit. Elevator was out while we were there and had to walk up several flights. The door to the room did not latch and therefore the room could also not be locked. Discovered this after sleeping overnight. Door open outside to balcony so this made us feel unsafe in retrospect. River view and location were great tho!
Very friendly staff, and great location. The only issue we had is that our room had a strong musky scent. As the hotel sits on the river, this may be common, but I would think that the hotel could do something (eg de-humidifiers) to improve this situation l.
Great location for concert. We walked as it was so close. Def staying here again. When arriving to hotel first time The road you are to pull into is EASY to miss as it’s like a long skinny parking lot. Just turn in when you see the black train lol
