The guests next door has kids crying until 11:30pm. The room was so humid and the carpet felt moist. We thought it would clear up after a couple of hours but it was still in incredibly humid. The room smelled musty. The bathroom had a hook that was about to fall off. There wasnt enough hooks to hang all the towels.

The bathroom sink overflow was dirty( appeared to have mold). The desk staff ( 6/28 day shift) left the desk and I observed her smoking just outside the main entrance. The smell of cigarette smoke was very strong at that entrance.I think it is not appropriate for anyone to be smoking where others will have to smell it.

Nice hotel, excellent location, easy walk to many shopping and dining options. The Wilmington River district area seems to attract some unhoused people, but doesn't feel unsafe.

The check-in staff were not friendly or welcoming at all. Our first time in Wilmington and we asked them for a lay of the land and we’re basically were handed a map and pointed in a direction. After the first day our room key didn’t work and we were informed that upon check-in the receptionist only put in one day stay when we clearly stated we were there for 3 nights. Lastly, there was a sign in the room that said our room would be cleaned every other day but after 2 1/2 days our room had not been cleaned and when I asked the front desk they said we needed to tell them if we wanted our room cleaned. All I all the hotel did not make our stay a good experience which is why I will never stay there again and I will think twice about staying at another Hampton Inn.

Overall great stay. We only stayed for one night with two small children so we didn’t get to explore too much. The hotel was nice, clean and the location was easy to get to. If you don’t want to valet there is a parking garage very close by. It is a little bit of a walk to the riverfront (we never made it there) but lots of food options close by. Breakfast was nice. The lady at the front desk when we check in was super nice and helpful, the guy in the morning was not so much.
