The hotel was okay. Location was great, and view was amazing. However the hotel needs some updating. Lots of small maintenance things need to be done, to make the hotel worth the cost. The staff at the front desk was very nice and accommodating.

The hotel was fine and in a good location (along the river walk) in downtown Wilmington. The free airport shuttle service was handy and prompt (10-15 minutes from airport. Staff was friendly and competent. The most negative comment I have is the room amenities. Weirdly, there was not enough drawer space for clothing. And only 4 hangers in the closet. The room should be supplied with a folding luggage rack.

On the riverwalk across from the battleship New Jersey for nice sunsets. Very close to where the walking tours start downtown. Air conditioning worked so well. Lots of excellent shops nearby like The Black Cat. Great restaurants of all types in walking distance. Ice cream shops open late and lots of restaurants and bars open even later. Downtown is quite walkable. Parking available for an additional fee. The parking was close to an entrance neat the pool.
