    The hotel has a lot of historic charm that truly enhances the experience. The room was spacious and comfortable, making our stay pleasant overall.

    The property feels dated in several areas, which can detract from the overall experience.

    historic charm
    great food court
    spotty internet

    Staying here was a blast, especially having access to the cool food court and the charming historic vibes of the place. The pool and lounge area were perfect for winding down after our adventures. The only hiccup was the internet being a bit spotty, but overall, we really enjoyed our stay! 🙂

    stunning chandeliers
    vintage mail chute

    We just wrapped a fun two-night stay in a Superior King Room. The grand architecture, including stunning chandeliers and a vintage mail chute, added a charming touch. We loved the proximity to local eateries and the spaciousness of the suite was a huge bonus!

    Felt so at home, no complaint.

    comfortable bed
    helpful valets
    missing cash
    unpleasant manager
    room change issues

    The king room featured a comfortable bed and helpful valets. However, an unsettling experience arose when I discovered cash missing from my car, raising concerns about valet security. Additionally, a change in room revealed a less than ideal response from the night manager. These factors overshadowed the pleasant atmosphere and service experienced in other areas, leading to disappointment during a celebratory occasion.

    spacious tub
    beautiful sunset
    difficult air conditioning

    I felt like a queen in my king room, enjoying a relaxing bath in the spacious tub and watching the beautiful sunset from the 10th floor. The only hitch was figuring out the air conditioning, but it didn't ruin my amazing stay. 😊

    Spacious rooms with elegant decor. The bar closed early and there were limited food options at night. Try the cooking class for a fun experience.

    elegant decor
    comfortable bed
    separate tub
    maintenance issues
    noise disruptions

    The lobby greets you with stunning architecture and elegant decor, creating a welcoming first impression. My room featured a large king bed and a lovely sitting area, providing plenty of space to relax. The bathroom impressed me with its separate tub and shower. Fluffy towels added a touch of comfort. However, my experience took a turn when I found the bathroom sink clogged. Additionally, the door didn’t shut properly, leading to some noise issues that disrupted my peace at times. The hotel's dining options were good, and the staff provided decent service, although there were minor hiccups with room service. Overall, I appreciated the charm of the hotel but felt it fell short in maintenance and attention to detail.

    great location

    great central spot for exploring wilmington's parks and landmarks

    I loved my stay in a spacious room at this beautiful hotel, which was perfectly situated just a short walk from both Rockford Park and the Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts, allowing me to fully embrace the city's parks and vibrant art scene.

    spacious rooms
    riverfront path
    lack of pool

    We had a fantastic time walking along the beautiful riverfront path, taking in the sights of Wilmington. The spacious rooms were perfect for my family and our colleagues, making our stay both enjoyable and comfortable, especially after long days at meetings.

    My kids wished there was a pool for them to enjoy during our stay.

    delicious brunch
    stunning decor
    poor breakfast service

    My stay was disappointing. the decor didn’t match the stunning photos online. The food was also inconsistent, with great brunch but subpar breakfast service. Definitely won’t return.

    historic property
    spacious room
    personalized tour
    dated decor
    maintenance issues

    The historic property is filled with charm and has great character. I really enjoyed the personalized tour of the hotel, particularly the magnificent ballroom, which showcased its rich history. Even though the room was spacious and clean, it was starting to show its age, and there were minor maintenance issues. The dining experience at the restaurant was pleasant, although the service could have been more consistent. Overall, it provided a nice atmosphere while we celebrated a special occasion.
