My stay at the hotel was fantastic. The rooms were perfect, with a huge bathroom, large bath, and shower, and a huge TV screen that I adored. The old charm style made me feel comfortable and luxurious. Although valet parking was not included, it added to the safety. I can't wait to have the fantastic brunch tomorrow morning!

8.2/10

The hotel offers incredibly plush and comfortable rooms that are spacious and couldn't have been nicer. The service is generally lovely, but some staff members lack attentiveness and knowledge about the food. The location is very convenient in Wilmington, DE, even though it may have lost some of its charm over time. The dining experience, including a visit to The Green Room, was good, except for some unripened bananas. The facilities are modern and offer great value for money.
