The check-in staff were not friendly or welcoming at all. Our first time in Wilmington and we asked them for a lay of the land and we’re basically were handed a map and pointed in a direction. After the first day our room key didn’t work and we were informed that upon check-in the receptionist only put in one day stay when we clearly stated we were there for 3 nights. Lastly, there was a sign in the room that said our room would be cleaned every other day but after 2 1/2 days our room had not been cleaned and when I asked the front desk they said we needed to tell them if we wanted our room cleaned. All I all the hotel did not make our stay a good experience which is why I will never stay there again and I will think twice about staying at another Hampton Inn.

Overall great stay. We only stayed for one night with two small children so we didn’t get to explore too much. The hotel was nice, clean and the location was easy to get to. If you don’t want to valet there is a parking garage very close by. It is a little bit of a walk to the riverfront (we never made it there) but lots of food options close by. Breakfast was nice. The lady at the front desk when we check in was super nice and helpful, the guy in the morning was not so much.

We were very disappointed with our stay. The hotel was not clean, the indoor pool was very cold. The entire fourth floor had a horrible smell. The water leaded over the entire bathroom when the shower was in use. We had to beg for fresh towels, and the room phone did not work. The breakfast items were not replenished. When we asked about issues we received no help or lots of attitude regarding our problems. The valet parking was advertised by email at $25 but was $29 on site.

We eventually got a room. The AC didn't work, the refrigerator didn’t work and the cable went out u til morning. I will never stay there again. The valet service was excellent— only polite people there.

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.
