Overall it was ok. The staff was friendly but they will fully charge you BEFORE check in if they are fully booked with no notification. The elevator is aggressive in its take off and landing. The rooms are nice. The breakfast leaves room for improvement. Not a baf stay but also noy fantastic.

First time to Wilmington and loved the location of this property. Definitely needs updated with some paint and carpet. I wouldn't consider this family friendly as the overwhelming smell of marijuana filled the hallways. I know that isn't negligence of the employees, but it made for an unpleasant stay. Next time, we will pay a little more for a privately owned property.

There was a hyperdermic needle by the broken doggie doodle receptacle. The bags of dodo went thru the bottomless receptacle. Also, put a picnic table or somewhere to sit with your dog or kids under those pines in the back. Hallway carpets should be cleaned, then maybe you wouldn’t need so much scented air freshener
