8.2/10 Very Good! (1,315 reviews)

The staff was very friendly and welcoming from the moment we stepped into the hotel. They accommodate to an issue we had and took care of it right away. The hotel is beautiful, the view of the river walk was to die for. The hotel has different locations to exit and enter the building making it easier to get to the river walk and parking lot. There is not one bad thing I can say about this hotel. I’ll definitely be back to Wilmington and will sure be booking with them again. Highly recommend staying here for leisure or business.

8.6/10 Excellent! (56 reviews)

The hotel itself is not bad. But as you turn into the parking lot you will find many signs saying you must pay to park. Next to some of these signs you will see a sign that says park at your own risk not responsible. So not sure what you are paying for. You will pay $12 a day to park. As I was surprised to see this because I did not read the fine print. I went back to read other reviews and I am not the only one who is surprised. I read the management’s response to some of these reviews. They require you to pay so the parking lot is not used by people who are not customers of their hotel. Easy solution waive the fee for people who already paid to rent a room. So I will probably not be back to this hotel.
