1 STAR REVIEW——-THERE IS NO COFFEE IN THE ROOM. THERE IS NO COFFEE IN THE LOBBY. IF YOU WAIT UNTIL 7 AM YOU CAN BUY A CUP OF DRIP COFFEE FOR $4 plus tax. (The local coffee shops are less expensive.) The welcome drink costs $15. (Read the find print when you get a bill for $15 and a tax rate of 13% for an additional $1.95.) I will not be welcomed back.

Brand new and very nicely decorated. Comfortable bed. Great location. Cute property with hang out areas and nice restaurant. However, I wasn’t greeted upon entering reception area, and there were multiple staff members with their backs to me hanging around the desk. I felt like i was intruding by trying to check in. The room felt very clean initially but then i noticed a few hairs on the shower wall, and the small lotion near the sink (that they give to you) had been used and was half empty. I also saw there was someone else’s eye glasses left on the floor just barely under the bed.

Enclosed and special property with Gazebo Bar, patios, outdoor fireplaces, rocking chairs, and a delicious restaurant for breakfast and dinner. Love the vibe, decor and friendly helpful staff. Safe and clean which is of course expected. Walking distance to everything but on the edge of Historic Wilmington, just blocks from the river/ riverwalk. Would recommend to anyone visiting Wilmington. Has to be the best place in town!

Beautiful Updates

Love the updates to this hotel! Decor is beautiful and love the thoughtful extras (umbrella, makeup washcloths and additional toiletries, bathrobe, steamer). Grounds are also beautiful and there is cornhole. Had dinner at the restaurant (Dram Yard) and the duck breast was superb.

Stayed here 8 mos ago & fell in love with this place. Its got so much character! The courtyard is gorgeous! Lush andscaping with cozy fiepit groupings & cornhole. Onsite restaurant with unique offerings (I recommend the Aussie Waygu). The tiki bar was manned by John, bartender extraordinaire in addition to being a delightful conversationalist. The room was comfortable, clean & stocked with goodies. When I'm in Wilmington, I won't stay anywhere else !
