I had an amazing stay at this hotel. The room I stayed in had a breathtaking view of the river, which made my experience truly memorable. The staff at the hotel were delightful, helpful, and on top of everything, even though they were short-staffed. The hotel facilities were clean and well-maintained, providing a pleasant and comfortable environment. Additionally, the location of the hotel was perfect, as it was close to everything, including the Riverwalk and other parts of downtown Wilmington.
Couldn't stay longer. Wanted to enjoy this city even more.
