Pros:

Paper thin wall between our room and the next! Very small room such that we banged into furniture. Love the historic building, but I might consider somewhere else on future trips to the area.

Pros:

The General Denver Hotel is a historic site. It looks like an old ski lodge. We find it to be very cute. There is a restaurant and 2 bars downstairs, the food, drinks and service are really good. This is our go to place when we are in Ohio for tue ren faire.

Would stay again and again
Pros:

The comfort was phenomenal, those needs were amazing and with the atmosphere around it feels so cozy! The old fashioned elevator is available during active work hours because a staff member has to run the old fashioned crank, but it just adds to the charm. They have TVs with a whole ton of streaming services. You can either watch or log into your own on amongst all the old fashioned stuff.
There is a room on the third floor that constantly has access to free coffee and snacks in a continental style, the options were nice and more diverse than I was expecting. They also have a Keurig if you wish to bring your own pods from home.

It's a very popular place among locals, the live music was fun and the food tasted amazing. I got the mile high steak and it came with shrimp and it wasn't too bad priced either, food was hot and the workers were kind.

Now what nobody tells you is that this is in the coziest little neighborhood. There's an ice cream and froyo place across the street that's the cutest little thing, very friendly neighborhood and a theater for plays right around the corner.
You'll think you're in a cozy movie.

Pros:

Wonderful Hotel, the first room that they gave us was not very nice. It was stuffy. It did not have a mini fridge but they gave us a different room when we complained oh and by the way, the first room had a step up into the bathroom and step down into the tub, which I didn’t care for for safety reasons, but they gave us a different room and it was absolutely wonderful. My friends stayed as well in a different room in their room was wonderful as well.

Beautifully historic and comfortable
Pros:

This is a really lovely hotel that feels both historic and designed for comfort. The bed was one of the most comfortable I have ever been in in a hotel.

The breakfast is basic, but was open throughout the day to grab snacks when needed or in advance of the next morning.

Pros:

Told was the oldest hotel in Ohio.
It has a manually run elevator.
Staff operates it for you. Three floors of hotel space. Very quiet & quaint & served my purpose well. It has a bar restaurant within the hotel & is in the heart of downtown Wilmington.
Rooms are smaller but functional. A rich heritage awaits you.

Pros:

Hotel was good the only issues I had was after staff went home you couldn’t use the elevator, you had to use the stairs. And the Wi-Fi in my room wouldn’t work I had to go into the hallway and there is no way to control the ac in the room because the building was central air . No controls in the room. There was someone using a jackhammer inside the hotel till 1 o’clock in the morning my first night . Couldn’t sleep

Pros:

The hotel manager is excellent! Seth went above and beyond to make sure our stay went well. The hotel is unique and historical, and we liked that aspect. The room we stayed in could use some updating. The walls were thin, and the bed was pretty hard. And I’m not sure there’s air conditioning, though they do provide a floor fan, which helped a lot. It was spotlessly clean and obviously well taken care of. And the fruit at the continental breakfast was a lot fresher than you expect from a hotel breakfast. I would stay here again.
