My water didn’t run hot, someone was banging on the wall constantly, I called the front desk to complain and the staff said there was nothing they could do and hung up. I am very disappointed in my stay.

Very good

The bar was closed both nights due to not having staff show up to work…during the Memorial Day weekend. There was a dog that pooped on the carpet and the floor on the second floor. They were overbooked, however the customer service was outstanding and their rooms were very clean and updated. My bad experience was a one off… if it wasn’t for that it would have been a perfect stay.

It was nice; love that the shampoo/conditioner/body wash/lotion were all attached to the wall in dispenser. A much more environmentally friendly way of doing things. However, I was disappointed in that there weren’t phone/USB charging/outlets. Many other hotels have these and it’s really convenient.

The property was just fine, very manicured, lawns and shrubbery. The front desk staff was very helpful and I visited the bar to find a bartender that was excellent. I had a great time and recommend her services with your company in the future. I will be back.

Nice and clean. First time staying here and I would for sure stay again. I used to stay at another hotel when in the area and they had a pest problem. That is why I changed to the Hampton Inn in Wilmington and I am very happy that I did.
