Great value for the price! The hotel was clean, quiet, and conveniently located just a few miles from Wilmington’s downtown riverfront. The room was comfortable, the AC was nice and cold, and we slept well. The fresh coffee in the lobby and variety of grab-and-go breakfast options were a nice bonus.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The room itself was updated and clean. The staff were nice. The outside of building could use some sprucing up. There was some sketchy people in parking lot all night and didn't feel the safest. Breakfast was not great. Coffee and prepackaged muffins.
Staff was nice, room clean, floor has a bad spot from where it had some plumbing work done so the floor is week. Did not have enough towels/wash clothes for the 3 people that was staying. But for last minute trip and the price, I would stay there again.

Simple, clean, and comfortable motel. Great choice if you are just looking for a place to sleep.
Not a clean environment. Toilet broken, tv not working correctly. Room supposed to be non smoking but it smells like cigs.
Neighbors next door throwing party and phone doesn’t even work to call front desk
The bathroom was disgusting. Black mold in the grout lines in the tile in the shower. The door molding was gross. Some black substance was on it. I called to have it cleaned. They were responsive, but the person who came to clean it thought it was fine. When I pointed it out, he cleaned some areas and was amazed at how good it looked. I assisted with the remainder of the cleaning. The outside doorknob to the bathroom was also missing. We were afraid to sleep in the bed based on the condition of the room. There was coffee but no machine in the room. The continental breakfast was a joke. If there was another hotel vacant, I would have eaten the cost and gone else where. I’ll send an email to Howard Johnson as well hoping for an explanation since I won’t trust their brand going forward. Lastly, the outside picture of the facility when I booked it thru expedia was misleading. This place was a dive compared the photo.

Clean room, unexpected knock on door by random person at 1am. There was not a separate lock on the door other than the key lock, so the door did not have a second door latch.
As a woman traveling by herself, I did not feel comfortable staying at this motel and ended up cutting my time there short. When I returned the first evening to my room, there were several men silently loitering outside right by my room’s door, and I did not feel safe there. Also the room was really worn-out, decrepit and smelly.
The family who run the motel were very nice, but that’s the only good thing I could say.
