• Nice, clean, and very accessible. Friendly and courteous staff and a secure location.

“The staff was prompt and courteous. The location is ideal for visiting Wilmington as it is right off the main highway. The Courtyard is near many areas of interest such as the beach, malls, and the college. Downtown is but a short drive away. Also, there are many convenient restaurants and fast food establishments.”

• The beds were comfortable.
• The room seemed run down, and not well taken care.

“My room was acceptable, but the toilet did not flush properly, there were no buttons on the phone, and there was no complementary breakfast. I felt as if I was given a sub standard room.”

• We loved the blackout curtains. The pool/hot tub area was very nice. It's in the internal courtyard and is well landscaped.
• We didn't eat the breakfast buffet. I felt it was a bit overpriced for the quality of food. But it's nice that they offer it.

“It is located in an area which is very near to a Wal-Mart, Cracker Barrel, Carrabas, etc, but yet you are not crowded up against them. There is easy access off of I-40. It is only a 5-10 minute drive, considering traffic, to the historic Downtown area.”

• The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful, their attitude was exceptional.
• The pool did not seem to be clear enough, perhaps the rain affected it.

“The bed was terrific, my multiple pillows were just like home. The decor was appealing. The AC worked great. I loved my stay at this hotel.”

• Large Screen HD in room.
• Expensive breakfast, smoky smell in non-smoking room.

“This hotel has a pleasant pool space with outdoor hot tub and large HDTV in the rooms; however, breakfast will set you back $10 per person. And if you want a clean-smelling room, this is not the place.”

• Very convenient to many types of restaurants & right behind Wal-mart.
• On-site restaurant should be full service all day, instead of breakfast only.

“My sister and I came here for a girl's weekend, and had a fabulous time. It is centrally located, close to many restaurants, great shopping: Wal-mart, Target, and Mayfair Town Center. The hotel staff was mostly friendly and accommodating, and the hotel itself was very quiet. There were two computer stations available for use, which came in handy for directions, etc. The breakfast buffet was very nice, and the hostess was quite pleasant. Overall it was a wonderful experience!”

• The staff was friendly and tried to be helpful.
• Wireless service to slow for some applications. Needs updating.

“The staff is friendly and will try to help if they can. The hotel only has breakfast on site but is within walking distance of several options for dinner and lunch. The lobby could use an update. The wireless service is fine for mail but lags too much with complex applications and gaming. A small fridge in the room would be nice for those left over carried back. The vanity area is a bit cramped but over all an excellent stay!”

• The room came with the comfiest king bed and a sweet flat panel TV!
• We were on the ground level, so our patio door led right to the parking lot.

“This hotel exceeded all of my girlfriend and mines expectations. It was cleaned excessively. The staff was nice, friendly, and willing to help you find a restaurant, good spot on the beach, and bar to get hammered in. As well as the comfy beds, sweet TV, and fast WiFi internet. We are moving to Wilmington and needed a home base as we looked for a house, but if we ever need a good spot in town or to put friends up this will be it. No question about that!”

• Friendly, clean, convenient.
• For sanitary reasons, they should have plastic, individual wrapped cups in the room, instead of glass ones. I heard of horror stories.

“Hotel was 2.5 stars, friendly staff, clean rooms and convenient location. I wish they had disposable individual wrapped cups instead of glass for sanitary reasons. Double sinks would be nice when 2 people are getting ready in a hurry but all in all everything was fine. New pillows would be good too!”

• Housekeeping knocked on our door at 8:30AM and 10AM on checkout day. Checkout time was 12PM. They were rushing us to get out.

“Excellent location but it is difficult to find from the main roads. They need better signage because it is hidden. Housekeeping staff should not come to the rooms on the checkout day until customers are checked out. Overall it is an excellent hotel and a great value.”

• There weren't any.

“I loved this hotel because everything were in place, very convenient to everything but far above anything that I loved the most because it was the first hotel that I stayed in that was smoke free and the TV just spoiled me. I never had a TV in any hotel that played as good as that one and are a wide screen one. I would greatly love to stay there again if Im ever in Wilmington again. The bed was wonderful and the carpet was so fresh looking. You really keep things so neat. Keep up the good work.”

“Had to change rooms, first room had a sink that would not shut off and the bed was so saggy it forced you to roll to the center. The new room had a strong moldy smell and a bathtub drain which was broken. Found black curly hairs in the bathroom which were not ours since we are all blonde.”

• I felt the hotel was in a great location for restaurants, beaches and historic downtown.
• Our walls were a bit thin, we heard the party of teenage girls rooming next door singing a karaoke rendition of I will survive".

“I found the front desk staff to be very friendly and helpful. We were not familiar with the area and they provided useful information regarding dining, attractions, and directions complete with maps! We also enjoyed the coffee and cookies at check in. The walls are a wee thin, and the doors slam when leaving. But, all in all a good place to stay. I would stay again.”

• I liked the design, with the pool in a central courtyard, nicely landscaped.
• I did not like the "marble" in the shower- at first I thought it was dirty stained, but it was made to look that way!

“Very clean, with nice public areas. Nicely landscaped central courtyard pool area with small pool, however the spa had some green staining. The staff was attentive and helpful. While comfortable, the pillows/comforters weren't luxurious. The rooms were very comfortable though quite small. I was surprised to find the TV didn't have a DVD or VCR. The ground floor rooms have sliding outside doors instead of the usual nonfunctional windows. Although we didn't use the doors (since I didn't notice them at first) you could use them to move things from your car to your room without having to keep unlocking the hallway entry door into the hotel. It was very quiet.”
