The staff and the room were great. There was some noise from the people above me that made it slightly less enjoyable of a stay, but overall not bad. Valet in pretty much a must at this place which I’m not a fan of especially since I had to retrieve my own vehicle in the morning since the attendant wasn’t on duty yet and the staff is a skeleton crew in the morning. I was not able to enjoy my free drink since it was storming, but I loved the courtyard and atmosphere of the property.

Wonderful property. Very friendly, helpful staff. The restaurant makes a mean breakfast burrito. This property is very dog friendly. The only problem I had was the person above me was very heavy footed and had a dog and I could hear them walking around all night so try to get a room on the third floor.

Another great stay!

Repeat visit celebrating our anniversary and Arrive once again did not disappoint! Fantastic location downtown Wilmington and within walking distance of the best shopping and dining. We once again used the bar/ restaurant and the staff is consistently friendly and helpful. The valet service is convenient and fast with as many in and outs as one desires. We will be back!
