We stayed at this Hampton Inn because of going on a college tour with my granddaughter. It was easy to get to and very close to the campus. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and the beds were very comfortable. We went to their breakfast in the morning and I was very impressed with their selections and the staff helping with the kitchen was very friendly and checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Due to our limited time we didn’t get to use any of the amenities but overall I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the Wilmington area.
