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!

The location was the best I have seen in a very long time. It was ideal, close to good restaurants and bars, but there was a slight issue with congested areas that caused a minor inconvenience.
Dining

The dining experience was mixed. While some dishes were prompt and delicious, others were just ok and expensive. However, the Cafe package was a nice addition.

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.

The hotel has a beautiful nostalgia look with friendly staff and an absolutely beautiful setting, offering comfortable rooms, but I would not stay here again. Be sure to allow turn-down service.
