    Friendly staff Pillows were throw pillows, my towels were still wet and I found a roach in the bed

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Really would have appreciated early check in staff was not accommodating. Would rather have spent the extra money to stay downtown.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Amazing service and very welcoming.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    We stay in Wilmington frequently. This was the best hotel we’ve stayed in so far. Convenient, clean, modern, safe. Staff were very friendly. Breakfast was good (basic with hot and cold selections). We will definitely stay again.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Very nice stay. Only thing I would critique was the ac vent was dirty. No hand soap in the bathroom.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The entire staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout my stay. A huge shoutout to the breakfast team—the breakfast was amazing! What really impressed me was how attentive the staff was; they kept the dining area impeccably clean and were constantly replenishing food as soon as items ran low, ensuring everything stayed fresh and fully stocked. As for the room itself: * Spacious & Smart Layout: The rooms are wonderfully large and roomy without being cluttered by useless furniture. Honestly, most people stay for just a day or two and prefer leaving their stuff in a suitcase rather than unpacking into dressers (which just creates extra work)—this room design completely gets that! * Great Amenities: Having a microwave in the room was a huge plus, and they provided plenty of towels, so I never had to ask for extra. Everything about this stay was convenient, comfortable, and top-notch. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area!

    Great stay, thank you! We will return again!

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Parking was free The refrigerator was really loud and kept us up through the night, so did some very noisy neighbors. You’re literally attached to the room next door with a locked door and I can see the light to their room it’s not very insulated. I saw posts about the breakfast but it was awful and I’ve been to a lot of hotels that have breakfast and other than the self serve waffles everything else was not good. This should cost half the price.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026
