Very nice, upscale stay in downtown Wilmington. We really liked being able to walk to the riverfront and attractions: they also have one of the best restaurants in downtown Wilmington.
Steven, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I loved the outside area. There were a lot of places to hang out and relax. The room was decorated really cute as well. Very comfortable. An in-room coffee maker would be nice too.

Steffanie, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We loved the location and the setup of the courtyard. The courtyard made you unaware you were in a busy area of town. The staff were great to us and our dog.
Edward, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Enclosed and special property with Gazebo Bar, patios, outdoor fireplaces, rocking chairs, and a delicious restaurant for breakfast and dinner. Love the vibe, decor and friendly helpful staff. Safe and clean which is of course expected. Walking distance to everything but on the edge of Historic Wilmington, just blocks from the river/ riverwalk. Would recommend to anyone visiting Wilmington. Has to be the best place in town!

10/10 Excellent

This is a charming boutique hotel in a great part of Wilmington. There are a ton of restaurants within walking distance and the gazebo bar on property offered unique ,refreshing summer cocktails. There is a restaurant on site, but we opted to eat at a place a couple blocks away. I would definitely recommend.
