I took my 2 kids to see a concert in the area, so it was just us 3. The room was larger than expected. Very clean and cozy. Location was ideal for downtown Wilmington access. We had a great stay!

Lots of room, clean, well appointed, good location in northern residential area, but within 15 minutes of shopping. Stayed the weekend while we moved our son into a new home nearby. Will be back.
