Nice and clean. First time staying here and I would for sure stay again. I used to stay at another hotel when in the area and they had a pest problem. That is why I changed to the Hampton Inn in Wilmington and I am very happy that I did.

The property was just fine, very manicured, lawns and shrubbery. The front desk staff was very helpful and I visited the bar to find a bartender that was excellent. I had a great time and recommend her services with your company in the future. I will be back.

It was nice; love that the shampoo/conditioner/body wash/lotion were all attached to the wall in dispenser. A much more environmentally friendly way of doing things. However, I was disappointed in that there weren’t phone/USB charging/outlets. Many other hotels have these and it’s really convenient.
