The room we received for our stay had an incredibly dirty carpet including splashes of a mystery liquid that looked like blood, no Im not making this up. The beds were very stiff and the room itself smelled like a mix of sweat and urine. The access panel on the bathroom ceiling was rusty and seemed like it might fall off if you bumped it. It seemed that that room needed a good carpet cleaning and overhaul. Not a great place to stay.

The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. There was some kind of scent/air freshener that was used in the lobby that was overwhelming. The room had the same scent, but not as strong. It made me wonder what odor they were trying to cover up.

Super clean, sanitary, and inviting

When I first arrived into the room, it was truly a breath of fresh air. No, literally the room smelt absolutely amazing and super clean I’m like I have ever smelled a hotel room before. I truly knew that they put work in effort into making that room clean For me. The hospitality staff was always friendly from housekeeping, to front desk staff. The open floor locations was always nice and clean and welcoming. Only issue I had was the elevator was tricky. Sometimes it worked, and sometimes it did not. I mentioned it to the Manager though so hopefully they were able to figure out what was wrong with it eventually. It wasn’t an issue for me because it was merely maybe only 14 steps from carpeted stairs within the lobby to the second floor where I was staying. I must offer true kudos to the housekeeping Manager for training their staff well, they do an amazing job, I have never stayed in a hotel so clean before even in crazy fancy hotels. I would most certainly stay here again!!

Location was amazing. Bed was hard and my back hurt by the second morning. White smudges of something on the bed dust ruffle. Floor could use a good vacuuming. Everything else was fine. We didnt eat breakfast, but it was the standard waffles, fruit and muffins. For the price, I would stay here again.

This property was very clean, there wasn't any loitering or panhandling. The staff was very helpful and not that in your face kind of way. Although this stay was a last minute thing they had rooms available and perfect for us. Definitely going back to that hotel our next visit to wilmington
