Not worth the money!
Pros:

The gentleman who checked me in was great!

Cons:

The beds in room 606 were horrible. Too soft & I rolled into the middle. I woke up stiff every day. There was a funny smell and I woke up with a sinus headache, so I assume there is mold. The shower temperature was hard to regular. I ordered room service and the soup was luke warm, which was ok since they gave me a plastic spoon. I had dinner in the restaurant and the chair was full of crumbs, which the server let me brush off myself. The table was sticky from what appeared to be syrup spilled at breakfast and I squashed a bug. I expected more from a restaurant that was $20+ per meal. I will say order bread, it is excellent. The toast points were hard and burnt. To top everything off, I was billed $30 more then what was the receipt, so now I need to file a dispute. Lastly, I expected a nice patio facing the river, but the patio was small and faced condos, Fortunately, the building next door next had really comfy chairs that faced the water. So that was nice.

Nice
Pros:

The location was great and the staff was friendly.

Cons:

Housekeeping was substandard. The supplied conditioner was empty. After the second day, I had to call front desk. Our coffee and supplies were not refilled each day. The glasses were not replaced with fresh ones. Our breakfast dishes were left in the sink the entire stay. The only thing housekeeping did was empty our garbage cans each day.

Wonderful hotel centrally located
Pros:

Location is central in Wilmington. Located near the Riverwalk, Live Oak Pavillion many restaurants and downtown. Pretty much everything is walking distance. The staff was very friendly and professional. The hotel was exceptionally clean. The room was spacious and had all items needed, like in room fridge, iron, blow dryer. Valet parking is available. There is also a rooftop bar and restaurants. While there, ate at the 2nd floor restaurant the food was amazing and the drinks were very good.

Cons:

Nothing. Loved everything.

Exceptional View at a Beautiful Hotel
Pros:

The hotel and the view are both wonderful. The restaurant and on-site bar are both very spacious with excellent service. The breakfast offered was one of the best we have ever had while on vacation! The convenience to the Riverwalk, shops and restaurants were also added benefits of the hotels location!

Cons:

There was some areas of the bathroom that could have been cleaned better - and the bed and pillows were not that comfortable. The bed I would rate higher than the pillows, but overall neither great for restful sleep.
