Okay for the price

We booked connecting rooms for our weekend stay. Check in was a breeze. However, we got to our rooms and there was a very unpleasant odor. We figured the rooms had been closed and unused for a couple days. We spent the majority of the day outside of the room. The next morning we let management know and they moved our rooms. We did not get connecting rooms once they moved us. The new rooms were definitely better but overall not great. The rooms have carpet which seems to contribute to the smell. There were obvious places where the hotel house keeping do not clean very well, if at all. The vents to the ac had lint and dirt build up. There was dust on the door ledges, mold on the pocket door, stains in the carpets, etc. The towels had a slighlty sticky film on them. The hotle is a 2 star and on the cheaper end, and you get what you pay for. Lesson learned. There are so many great food options close by, as well as shopping. It is also very close to the River district and a short drive to the beaches. The front desk was very pleasant but we will probably not stay here in the future. The hotel could definitely use some cleaning up and modernizing.

UNCW college visit

Room was clean and available early. Air conditioning worked great, room was clean. Pool was pleasant at night. Neighbors were very loud late at night, but this was no downfall of the hotel. Breakfast was very nice and the dining area was very clean! Staff were all very pleasant and helpful.

The buffet breakfast was lacking. Dry cereal, waffles, juice, a few bagels and English muffins. None of the other regular fare of this type of hotel. Room was supplied with 2 towels which is insufficient if a lady is one of the occupants. The room was clean and recently updated. One item of inconvenience was the bath sink faucet was too short. It only extended past the edge of the sink about an inch. Not nearly enough to wash your hands easily. Maybe a minor inconvenience hurt aggravating anyway

It was just ok. Felt safe and was conveniently located. The beds were comfortable. The room smelled of smoke, it was dirty and there was mold on the window curtains. The free breakfast was pretty bad. Very few selections and dining area is tiny. Cold fruit and a waffle station. No bread or pastries or yogurt - certainly no hot items. Elevator felt shaky. There are a lot of contractors staying there which made us uncomfortable as 2 women traveling alone (didn’t feel unsafe). There are much better options in Wilmington. We won’t stay again.
