Nice place but just make sure if you are a coffee drinker to bring your own coffee pot
Pros:

Excellent location

Cons:

Was very disappointed that they just did not have a coffee pot. That’s when the most basic things to put in a overnight stay. The room was nice, but it would have been nice to have had more comfortable seating in the TV area. It was like sitting on a cement block.

Pros:

Location was excellent, close to all the main sights, restaurants and activities. Loved the outside spaces: the garden bar, the seating dotted around the garden and the rocker seats on the porches outside each room. Also, I ate an evening meal in the restaurant and that was delicious. Bar and restaurant staff were very nice.

Cons:

Reception staff were pretty grumpy both on my arrival and exit. The car parking situation is really annoying. Not only do you have to pay $25 a day for parking, it's across the street, it's not clear from the instructions before you arrive where to park so I had some confusion working out where to go before I checked in, which meant I got a parking fine.
The rooms are surface-level stylish. The quality of the decor/painting/furniture is pretty shabby. There's no coffee machine, no ice, a sizeable fridge that's stacked with things to pay for.

This was a super cute change from the monotony of your regular hotels. Don’t be fooled by having your own door like you
Pros:

There were so many cute and thoughtful touches

Cons:

This is not a place to stay long term as it doesn’t have any dressers or things like that. But they do have nice gold hangers and a bar to hang some clothes and a rack for a suitcase

Wonderful anniversary trip and superb staff interaction
Pros:

The location is exceptional. Although traveling for pleasure, my wife had to make a work video call earlier than our check in time. We called the day prior to inquire about an early check in and were accommodated graciously.

Cons:

Absolutely no complaints. A most wonderful stay. We were celebrating our 37th anniversary and all of our favorite Wilmington restaurants were within easy walking distance of the hotel. We have been here before and will definitely repeat in the future.

Good when there aren’t other options.
Pros:

Did not have breakfast there. Location was excellent.

Cons:

The property was way overly curated, affected and pretentious. Its a middle range hotel. The affectation was very offputting.

My go to place in Wilmington.
Pros:

You had breakfast? If so, I didn't hear about that. But there were plenty of coffee shops and diners nearby.

Cons:

No much. It was really convenient for our purposes which was primarily a little relaxing and some genealogical research around the Savage family who dominated the 100 block of 3rd Street in the 1800s.

Breakfast wasn't available because staff did not show up. Had business associates show up for breakfast meeting only to see a paper sign in the windows about being unexpectedly closed.

Pros:

Great location, very friendly staff, super cute rooms and grounds.

Cons:

It was loud at night. It’s an older building so you can hear other guests walking around, and it’s close to the street so you can hear cars and emergency vehicles. Ear plugs will come in handy!

Great location, friendly staff.
Pros:

The grounds and location are amazing.

Cons:

The rooms are on the smaller side. Our A/C unit wasn't working and instead of offering us a different room, they brought us a fan.
