Perfect if there was a lift

Great property. Super close to everything in downtown Wilmington. Only downside is there is no elevator, and the quietest rooms are on the top floor. Be forewarned if you have bas knees.

I had a great stay. The property was beautiful and clean. Unfortunately, I requested my room to be cleaned only one day during my 4-night stay and it was never done. I was also woken up multiple times throughout the night/early morning a couple of nights to loud noises above me.
