Douglas A Sep 30, 2025 11:38:35 PM
Summary: Nice stay with good service throughout the hotel. The location, on the water, is excellent with easy access to the bars & restaurants in downtown. WiFi and smart TVs were both very strong and prided great variety and access. Tge pool is really good overlooking the river.
Joyce Sep 30, 2025 07:56:01 AM
Summary: Clean and well maintained. Excellent location. Food was adequate, not exceptional. The room and dining area was frigid.
Ben Sep 29, 2025 07:08:09 AM
Summary: Amazing water views and friendly staff. Room was comfortable but the hotel is in need of some love. A lot of room features are quite old and dirty.
Harry Sep 18, 2025 06:06:28 AM
Summary: Very noisy at check in
Nisa Sep 17, 2025 08:28:08 AM
Summary: For this to be a four star hotel I was not impressed. Hotel room floor had crumbs and dust bunnies around the bed. Carpet in hallways was dingy and smelly. Bar area felt like it was 20 degrees. We couldn’t enjoy our meal.
Jacqueline Sep 13, 2025 11:09:20 PM
Summary: It was a very comfortable room. Bathroom sink just isn’t practical and our shower handle plate was loose and swinging. Otherwise nice for the price. It’s right on the waterfront
Mark Sep 10, 2025 06:38:14 PM
Summary: Could not ask for a better location. We had a 4 day getaway and staying on the water in downtown Wilmington was just perfect. The hotel is great but we noticed a lack of detail to cleaning. The hallways our floor had not been vacuumed the entirety of our stay. One day our clean towels were just all stacked on the back of the toilet. Also the pool is not heated so don’t plan on swimming in the fall.

Summary: The room was decent, but it was a bit dirty. There was hair in my bed and in the bathroom. Everything just looked old and dingy. No microwave or fridge in the room. About the only thing this hotel has got going for it is that it’s near the waterfront and downtown. They should do a better job of enhancing their space, since they’re in such a prime location.
Wade Sep 5, 2025 03:26:15 AM
Summary: Sadly, we were disappointed with this hotel. It is pricey. The location is great and the view of the river is nice. But our room was very dirty. The hotel and room looked a bit shabby. Not worth the price.
Karen Aug 30, 2025 05:10:19 AM
Summary: We are remodeling our home. While my husband stay at home and supervise. I decided that I want to stay in a fresh clean environment staying at a place were excellent is achievable. Everyone was very helpful. Everyone were professionals . It was refreshing. It was like walking in and all my problems and concerns was left at the door. The hotel left lasting impression. My husband was also impressed with the hotel when he stopped by for a late drink.
