Amazing service and clean. They upgraded my colleague and found him a piece of cheesecake for his birthday. Room was immense yet dated fixtures. Could use a refresh. Very clean and well appointed.
Hotel DuPont always exceeds my expectations. If you are looking for a place in Wilmington, don’t bother looking around, checking out prices on the river or other places, just pick this hotel. You won’t regret your decision. The staff is wonderful, Kara especially. They have deep soaking tubs for two in some rooms and they are worth the upgrade and you feel at home there.
