We found this place by chance when arriving late at night into Wilmington in January (midweek) and were delighted to get a beautiful suite (kitchen, bathroom, living space and big bedroom) for $70. Receptionist was lovely, and there was muffins and coffee for breakfast. Such good value for money and so comfortable. So later that week we broke our drive... More

My boyfriend and I stayed here one night this past weekend to break up our trip to Charleston, SC. I picked this place because Front Street Inn was unavailable and they had recommended this instead since it was dog friendly. Average check-in, receptionist seemed preoccupied, but she was friendly. We stayed in the Country French room and like previous reviewers... More

We're sorry to hear of your bad experience. We do have an older property. This particular building was constructed around the turn of the 20th century and we've tried to keep it faithful to that period. The electronics are currently being upgraded. This building is also where our pet friendly suites are located and occasionally the pets are noisy. We... More

We're sorry we didn't meet your expectations. We are an older property (some buildings 19th and early 20th century) and we have tried to design many of them to match the period. We hope that you will contact us with further details so that we may better address the other issues you mentioned. More

I have stayed at the Wilmingtonian many times and always look for a different room type. The rooms (in the original section) are all theme decorated and just plain fun. It is not a Marriott or Hilton and you shouldn't expect the cookie cutter hotel room. Many of the furnishing are aged, the beds are great (some require a step... More

We stayed here for 2 nights while in town for a wedding. Our suite had a full kitchen and a very nice bedroom with a four post queen size bed. We had plenty of room for our pack-n-play crib and with separate rooms we could stay up and watch some TV after our son went down for the night. Not... More

I was in Wilmington to see if it would be a nice place to retire. I stayed at the Wilmingtonian for a 2 night stay. I was on the second floor in the Lighthouse Suite. It was very clean with comfortable decor and conveniences. It's only two short blocks from the river and right in downtown so I could take... More

We stayed here one night and found the room to have plenty of space for the price (~$100/night). We were in the Trafalger Suite in the Marine House which had a fridge and microwave along with all the dishes we could want if we had been inclined to fix something. There was a living area with large couch and small... More

This was my first visit to Wilmington and I couldn't have picked a better place. The hotel was very quiet, I sat on the porch and listened to birds singing at dusk. The room was excellent, very clean and comfortable. It had a full kitchen, even a dishwasher and a washer and dryer! It was within walking distance of the... More
