A gilded dump

Property has seen better days. It’s obvious it once may have been glorious, but beyond the lobby, there is heavy wear and tear. Water stains, scratches, beat up furniture, non-working plumbing, ice machines not working. I was placed in 3 different rooms - and all had plumbing issues ranging from toilet not flushing, toilet flowing like a waterfall, stopped-up sink drains, very hot water coming out of both hot and cold sides. Even the upgraded "executive" room was a joke. No different from other rooms except there was a robe in the closet and the toilet flushed properly. Fridge but no microwave. Someone else's hair pins on floor. Bed was comfy and clean, though. And front desk service was among the best customer service at a hotel I ever have received. Clerk did her best to make it right, but the major issues were behind her control. Not even a maintenance worker on-site and not her fault the rooms and common areas need an overhaul.

Not the worst but definitely not the best

Conrad Hilton is rolling over in his grave. This place is falling apart and nothing works. If you go expecting to use their indoor pool, dont get your hopes up. Our room lock didnt work and the heat didnt work. The room was dark because the lighting was terrible. Luckily only had to stay there one night.

NEVER AGAIN!

From when we checked in till the time we checked out, there were issues. When we got into the room, we shortly discovered that sink drain was totally clogged and the toilet wssnt flushing completely. We called the front desk and they sent up a security guard with a tiplet plunger. He proceeded to attempt to plunge out the sink drain. What came up out of thecdrain and into the sink was very nauseating. The work part about it was we had our personal belongings around the sink area. Furthermore, his attemtp was a complete failure. The front desk moved us to anothercroom at 10:30pm. As it turned out the shower drain in our 2nd room was clogged. The bar at the hotel was a total joke.

Very comfortable stay. The "neighborhood" is pretty quiet on Thanksgiving night. The local Chamber of Commerce needs to enliven downtowncquite a bit.

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.
