Beautiful, comfy, and convenient inn in this nice historic town!
Pros:

Cute themes in the rooms with nice decor. The attached espresso bar was convenient and nice. The two beds were very comfy and the inn is in a great location. It was quiet and easy to walk around. Very friendly staff. We would stay there again.

Cons:

The seating could be more comfortable in the living room and the extra futon bed was springy. Not easy climbing stairs with luggage and it was very bright inside at night and morning.

Great value and good location
Pros:

Nice room, good location close to downtown Wilmington. Good parking options. The staff was nice when I talked with them.

Cons:

It is a noisy location, given that the check-in stand was outside my window and the area has a cafe and and outdoor evening area. For a business trip, this was louder than in a regular hotel, however, for a vacation trip this would have been the perfect place.

We're already planning our next trip.
Pros:

We prefer to park our car and use our feet or public transportation when we visit other cities. The river view from our balcony was a perfect spot to relax after dinner and a great place to enjoy free coffee and baked goods from the farmer's market just a block away the next morning. The bed was very comfortable and we must have been really tired because we slept right through the occasional noisy traffic. We also liked the ease of parking on-site, the online check-in/out and the fresh coffee just steps away. But wait, there's more. Cold water in the refrigerator, fresh baked chocolate chip cookies and placed on the pillow mints were little touches that show the staff really appreciates their guests.

Cons:

Why should we comment about something we didn't like? We think some reviews are helpful but they also demonstrate a lot of people who only comment so they can show how hard or impossible it is to please them. The Front Street Inn isn't new, fancy or pretentious. People half to a third our age patronize The Concorde and the Inn. That's our sign we picked the right place to spend a couple of days.

Disappointing and overpriced
Pros:

Great location. Spacious room.

Cons:

Poorly run hotel or perhaps management just don’t care.

WiFi didn’t work in our room. It was noisy and bright all night as one window didn’t have a blind to the top and the outside light was left on all night. People from the bar were in the hotel hallway taking selfies and shrieking at 11pm.
In the bathroom the toilet rocked as it wasn’t secured to floor! The seat wasn’t secure either. There was a door missing on the TV cabinet and bulb missing from one of the lights.
A paper cup for coffee and a plastic cup in the bathroom was a cheap touch but there was a warning that we’d be charged if any make up was left on the sheets together with a QR code to leave a tip. For $350 a night I expected a good experience but left feeling cheated and grateful we were only there for one night.

Wunderschönes Zimmer direkt in der Altstadt.
Pros:

Wir haben dieses Zimmer als sehr schön empfunden. Die Grösse war für uns sogar zu gross, da wir leider nur eine Nacht hier waren. Da könnte man problemlos länger bleiben, finden wir. Perfekt fanden wir auch die Lage. Da wir mit Auto unterwegs waren, war uns bei der Zimmer Wahl auch wichtig einen Parkplatz zu bekommen, was hier super funktioniert hat.
