A fine old property to stay for a great price.

Great old building with an elevator operator. Really nice kitchen area with food for breakfast, or any time. convenient parking. This is an old building, so do not expect a lot of modern frills. ai really enjoyed the stay here, and it was a great deal for the money.

Perfect location for visiting Wilmington. The area outside of the hotel was cute, but a lot of empty storefronts and closed businesses. There are church bells that go off at random times and for long periods of time. One morning we counted 42 very loud dings. No fault of the General Denver of course. Their staff at the front desk and restaurant were awesome and both hotel and restaurant were nice. If I go back to Wilmington, this is the only place I would stay!

We gave it a solid c out of a-f. We must have been above the kitchen. It was so noisy. We had people right outside our room having cocktails and we could hear their conversation. And the room was freezing to the point where we couldn’t even take a shower. We would not recommend this hotel.

The building was nice though keep in mind there's no easy elevator access, you are taking the stairs to the 3rd floor. Also the pillows were very flat. Other than that, everything was fine for what we needed.

The 100 year old hotel has been restored and is located in a safe, walkable neighborhood. There are some quirks, like the elevator that can only be operated by employees. Some of the rooms & bathrooms are very small, but sweet. Our only complaint was that there was no one to call at the desk when we needed them. The only phone number is to their reservation service. All in all, a unique, fun stay. The restaurant and staff were excellent!!

We stayed for 2 nights. Our room was 2 adjoining rooms actually which included a very uncomfortable pull out sofa bed. The fixtures need some repair and updating in the bathrooms, shower water cycles from scalding hot to cold at random. The amenities are slight at this property. There’s water damage on the walls, on of the 3rd floor windows in our room was not double pained like the other two, dangerous as hell IMO. If you have a child with you you have to keep the window locked. Which poses another problem because the rooms are not individually temperature controlled, and if you’re warm like we were this weekend it’s uncomfortable. The box fans are helpful, but are obv very loud which is inconvenient. The hand operated elevator is cool, but you have to find someone to operate it, otherwise you must use the stairwell, note: not all staff can operate the lift, so if you have luggage good luck to you. It’s a charming hotel, really. Just not worth the price in our opinion. The hotel manager was nice, the blonde host from the restaurant not so much. Overall the stay was average/good, but we were expecting more hospitality and better quality based on the reviews.

We loved staying at the General Denver! The building is beautiful with a unique charm to it. The staff is incredibly friendly! We unintentionally booked a room too small for three people (the website described the room I booked as a Deluxe so I assumed it had a bed and pull out couch.) when it was determined we were actually in the smallest room in the entire hotel, the manager upgraded us to a two bedroom suite at no extra cost. The food at the hotel was also pretty good! In walking distance, there’s a lovely Mexican place with the BEST margaritas I’ve ever had, as well the TinCap Hard Cider - HIGHLY recommend their Mac Daddy pizza. We will definitely be staying here during our next Wilmington visit!

Enjoyable Stay

Very nice hotel built in 1928. Everything was renewed, clean, and comfortable. We loved the antiques and we were fascinated by the original hand-operated elevator. (I'd only seen those in old movies.) The snack/breakfast bar on the third floor was available 24/7 and was well stocked with was of variety for a nice breakfast. The restaurant was crowded but the service and food were great. We will definitely stay there again.
