The Front Street Inn

Geen gordijnen, verf bladdert van de muur door vocht. Erg oud. Geen onderhoud gepleegd

It's more like an Air BNB than a hotel. So many decorative pillows, but only 4 to sleep on. The AC was struggling to keep up and the bedroom could really use a ceiling fan to help. We texted the number we were given for a small issue but never received an answer. I'm most baffled by the complementary coffee in the room. There was a coffee machine and two reusable containers. One had coffee filters, the other had loose, unlabeled coffee grounds..... What?

The shower wasn’t great old Jacuzzi that didn’t work. Large step over to get in the shower making it a bit dangerous

You can hear traffic and people into the late hours because you are right in the waterfront section. But we wanted to be in that area, so we didn't mind. Maybe a white noise machine is a good suggestion.

The photos online look much better than the actual room. We stayed in the Zermatt, the furnishings looked like they came from a thrift store, the sheets looked old & thin, the clear glass light fixtures were dusty, the small table in the bathroom was missing a leg, the shower didn't have an enclosure (presumably because it was ADA, but the floor was incredibly slippery when wet, and a piece of trim kept coming off in the bath; overall the room felt "tired". The outdoor cocktail area in the backyard was never loud, but we heard lots of noise through the wall from the coffee shop/cocktail bar.

While the downstairs was darling- it felt fresh, new and modern, our room did not feel it had been renovated in years. Lighting did not work in the main room. The sofa was uncomfortable. The TV was ridiculously huge for the space. No glassware in the "bar" area. The pillows were hard and we chose to sleep unfortunately without. It was very disappointing. We will be back in Wilmington in November for a wedding and hoped to stay here, we will not. If and when the rooms upstairs match the sophistication and comfort of downstairs, we will be back. I am not sure if we want to risk trying another room until then. We stayed in the Georgia O'Keefe.

My room, the Amsterdam, was very interesting in design but had several functional flaws. It is a ground floor room whose windows are visible from the street but the window coverings cannot provide privacy. They are drapes that are almost impossible to adjust and even if you can, they cannot cover the window. It is weird changing clothes, particularly at night, and not knowing if you are on view.

Reading in bed is almost impossible. The bedside lights give very little illumination due to design and position on the wall, and ironically they cannot be turned off from the bed. There is no desk light at the only table in the room where you can set up your computer if you have one.

The staff is very young and pleasant but seems oddly distributed at the facility. Ordering drinks was supposed to be done from a QR code that none of the three of us successfully could use and the server, while tolerant, stood around while we struggled before she finally told us she could take our order. Even the check in process was strange. There were 4 people at the valet park stand who told us where the entrance was, but once we were inside we were told that we had to go back out to the stand to get room assignments. None of the 4 employees who greeted us bothered to mention that.

The lock codes for the rooms are set to the last 4 digits of your cell phone but mine didn't work, so we had to wait until all these people could find someone who could change it.

ice machine didn’t work

No microwave, electric stove in unit but no pots to utilize it to warm up food.
