Thomas, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I have traveled extensively through the lower 48 states. For the money, this is the best hotel I have found. The suites are like a one bedroom apartment with a spacious bedroom and two nice queen beds. Kitchen, work area and living room. If they added bananas to the free breakfast the place would be PERFECT!

Clean Room Dirty Halls
The room was extremely nice and clean with the exception of a broken shower curtain rod it was good. The hallway getting to the room was extremely stinky and dirty. There were stains all over the carpet and the cigarette smell was strong.

Comfortable stay for good price
Comfortable, clean suites in Wilmington. I came here for a half-ironman race and this was a perfect type of space and was conveniently located near a lot of shops and restaurants. Great quality for the price.

The staff was friendly, the bed was quite comfortable, the price was reasonable. The only flaw is that the breakfast offerings were pretty meager, we ended up going elsewhere for breakfast on a couple days.
