Affordable
We stayed for 3 nights and room was ok. Except under the beds were dirty and we had dogs with us and was always trying to get under to eat whatever was down there. Overall the rest of room was clean. The price was affordable and close to where we were site seeing. The dog station had no bags and no trash bag so we did see a lot of dog poo around the grounds.

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.

We stayed four nights and it was very comfortable. The free breakfast was nice. The patio off of the breakfast room looked great with freshly planted flowers. We would recommend this hotel to anyone.

Very nice.
The room was better than expected. I loved the separation of the sleep area from the living area. The kitchen area was well equipped including cooking utensils, dishes and a toaster. The staff was very professional. If I had to make a suggestion, it would be to expand the breakfast options.

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.

Loud climate control. Hard and lumpy bed. Lots of traffic noise. The staff I spoke with were awesome, but they can’t do anything about a deteriorating facility.

Sharing a pool on the other area and not having enough towels, both times that we went to use it. Also with the Continental breakfast offer, there was nothing for people with bariatric surgery who cannot have carbs or sugars so I was limited to eating nothing for breakfast

Staff was very friendly. Room was clean however the couch and mattress were a little outdated from frequent use. May be time to upgrade some of them. Overall , not a bad stay. The worst thing was the constant smell of marijuana in the stairwell. I don’t care what you do outside but obviously someone wasn’t considerate indoors.
