Hotel was overpriced ($161/night). Room was shabbily-maintained (old fixtures left attached, torn wallpaper, tub leaked, bathroom dirty. Bathroom door wouldn't close. White sox stained black from filthy carpeting. No microwave.) Lobby was spacious and attractive. Front desk staff pleasant and helpful. But upstairs, basically a Motel 6 at 4-Star hotel prices. Wilmington is not traveler-friendly. Main streets poorly-lit and everything closed after 5. No restaurants in walking distance of hotel.

The old Bait & Switch
I was told that there was a shuttle available at this Double tree and that is why I stayed there. Turned out that they say the courtesy Shuttle was in for repairs… I wound up spending 14.00 dollars on and Uber. And when I return I’ll have to pay an additional 14.00 dollars to take me back to the hotel.
