The kids had a blast in this place! The indoor pool was warm, which was a plus. My wife and I walked around downtown, which you can easily walk around from the hotel and back. The staff were amazing and very attentive to our needs. Excellent breakfast and service too! The valet parking is a good option if you’re just staying in downtown Wilmington, but if you’re heading to the beach I would try to find street parking.

There is absolutely no parking on the property it’s self. There is a parking garage but you have to pay to park and it’s 10 dollars a day if you leave your car over night which you essentially have no choice. The meter is free after 6:30 at night till night 9:00 am the next morning and only has three of them. You can valet but again that is 29 dollars for the weekends.

Parking was a bit much. I think the cost is over rated. I am sure it could be made a little better for the customers considering the amount that is changed to stay there. Yes the parking convenient but it could be better.

Huge Inconvenience

I had reserved a room for a guest of ours for a function. The hotel would not let me add this person to the reservation so I had drive to town, check in, and in person add this person to the room. Upon arrival, the front desk clerk,Jessica, could not have been any more rude. She didnt look at me the whole time I was there. She had a horrible attitude and acted as if I had inconvenienced her. This was an extreme inconvenience to me seeing that 80 people were coming to my home within the next hour. I will never book at this Hampton Inn again

Great staff, clean property, small indoor pool

Very pleased with this hotel and the staff were great and friendly. My only complaint was the pool was disappointingly small - pretty much only usable with small children. Knowing the weather would be poor all weekend, the pool was our backup but not much of an option.
