Wonderful property. Very friendly, helpful staff. The restaurant makes a mean breakfast burrito. This property is very dog friendly. The only problem I had was the person above me was very heavy footed and had a dog and I could hear them walking around all night so try to get a room on the third floor.

Another great stay!

Repeat visit celebrating our anniversary and Arrive once again did not disappoint! Fantastic location downtown Wilmington and within walking distance of the best shopping and dining. We once again used the bar/ restaurant and the staff is consistently friendly and helpful. The valet service is convenient and fast with as many in and outs as one desires. We will be back!

If you want to enjoy the water front area of Wilmington, you'd be hard pressed to beat the location and amenities of this hotel. Everything from the rooms to the service to the outside bar was excellent. Did I mention the outside bar? Excellent! It's within walking distance of everything on the waterfront.

Don't hesitate, book your stay!

First time to Wilmington and this hotel was amazing. The staff from check in, bartender at the Gazebo bar, to Mere in the restaurant made us feel like family. The room was comfortable, beautifully decorated and affordable. I didn't want to leave. I extended my stay another day to just hang out in the hotel. My meal in the restaurant was delicious I ate there 3 times in my 2 day stay.

I was charged $13 for a bottle of water when there was no indication in the room that it wasn’t provided gratis. When questioned the response was “ I’ll suggest that to my manager” The rooms are expensive enough for water to be provided( nice glass bottles-I’ll give them that) but at the least let people know they will be charged. Rooms are small but good.

Ample Ambiance At ARRIVE

The attractive interior decor and cozy outdoor spaces combine to create a refreshing experience. We would have preferred to have complimentary self-parking but Valet service was the only option. Parking is $26 daily. Morning coffee in the lobby was excellent but individual in-room coffee makers would have been preferred considering that you must walk outside to reach the lobby. Thankfully the weather was not an issue and we could easily navigate the stairs from our second floor room. No elevator is available. The $15 daily resort fee is annoying since there is no pool. They provide one complimentary drink coupon at check-in to help compensate for the expense. The ambiance at the Gazebo bar was charming. The location of the property is excellent! Very easy walk to several restaurants, shops, historic sites, etc. Overall we enjoyed our stay. Great if you're looking for something out of the ordinary.
