Overall great stay. We only stayed for one night with two small children so we didn’t get to explore too much. The hotel was nice, clean and the location was easy to get to. If you don’t want to valet there is a parking garage very close by. It is a little bit of a walk to the riverfront (we never made it there) but lots of food options close by. Breakfast was nice. The lady at the front desk when we check in was super nice and helpful, the guy in the morning was not so much.

We were very disappointed with our stay. The hotel was not clean, the indoor pool was very cold. The entire fourth floor had a horrible smell. The water leaded over the entire bathroom when the shower was in use. We had to beg for fresh towels, and the room phone did not work. The breakfast items were not replenished. When we asked about issues we received no help or lots of attitude regarding our problems. The valet parking was advertised by email at $25 but was $29 on site.

Arrived at 2:10 pm — said to come back at 3 for room. When returned- they said they overbooked and didn't have a room & they were overbooked. I indicated it was not acceptable. We eventually got a room. The AC didn't work, the refrigerator didn’t work and the cable went out u til morning. I will never stay there again. The valet service was excellent— only polite people there.

The kids had a blast in this place! The indoor pool was warm, which was a plus. My wife and I walked around downtown, which you can easily walk around from the hotel and back. The staff were amazing and very attentive to our needs. Excellent breakfast and service too! The valet parking is a good option if you’re just staying in downtown Wilmington, but if you’re heading to the beach I would try to find street parking.

There is absolutely no parking on the property it’s self. There is a parking garage but you have to pay to park and it’s 10 dollars a day if you leave your car over night which you essentially have no choice. The meter is free after 6:30 at night till night 9:00 am the next morning and only has three of them. You can valet but again that is 29 dollars for the weekends.

Parking was a bit much. I think the cost is over rated. I am sure it could be made a little better for the customers considering the amount that is changed to stay there. Yes the parking convenient but it could be better.
