Strangely, there was the sound of a cell phone on vibrate that sounded frequently both nights. Probably unique to room 108. I searched repeatedly. I was not any device that I had with me. Perhaps a vibration carrying through from a neighbor or from the floor above. It didn't taint the quality of my visit, BUT if it is some mechanism that is part of the facility, I am sure that some would be bothered.

I do NOT recommend Sleep Inn or affiliated hotel MainStay across the parking lot. If you are someone like myself who has any autoimmune disease/ asthma you will suffer the consequences of these properties, allowing guests and employees to smoke inside the hotel rooms and there designated smoking area is the front entranceway. The vibe overall is very negative. I am disabled and struggled with my luggage. Neither place ever offered a helping hand. I also advise if you go DON’T smile or be happy because they’ll ask you to leave. A manager actually said to me earlier today “Go spread your love somewhere else”. Even though it was morally wrong, and threatened to call the police, I did not respond in anger. Instead I stayed calm and polite. I responded with OK I’ll leave, I understand. There is a lot of tension even between employees. When I made both places aware the room next to me was smoking pot, I was told I had to prove it. It’s posted everywhere if you smoke you will pay a $250 fee, yet they allow it. I’m connecting the dots. Since they allow it because if they didn’t, they would hardly get any business and therefore housekeeping don’t really clean. It’s pretty sad you pay to stay somewhere and one of the days you stay you spend cleaning. I have never been anywhere where you have to “beg” for replacement towels when you put the used ones outside your door. Employees argue n complain guests are stealing. How they have to bring tp to work n so on.

Pros: they have given some good amount of thought on what their most probable customers need and made arrangements. You have ice dispenser, soda vending machines, ice container at room, glasses at room, small fridge at room. Basically things you need to make a drink. They also have coffee machine, coffee is not bad. And breakfast. Parking is good. Cons: Cleanliness. Carpet is of dark brown colour and smells of old socks. Not sure if they shampoo wash it even once a year. Infra: no handwash inside washroom, you have one in the room itself. However tap on that was placed too far back and it was very inconvenient to wash hands. No handles on the bathroom doors. Service and staff: i found my initial room smelly so they changed it, that part was good. However, around 9 the Air conditioner stopped working. I called front desk and they said they can help only in the morning. It was suffocating my kids and they refused to provide any sort of help. They said controls on the AC don't work, but you can control it via thermostat. It was other way around. After spending some time I was able to start the AC using controls on AC. Otherwise I would have to find another hotel at late night

Meh
The room was ok for just a quick overnight stay, but only because I had my own sheets. The bed linen had old stains and marks on them even down to the mattress cover. There were stains on the walls, ceiling. Hair is a few places. The water didnt stay hot for shower. The sink was stopped up. The mattress is way too soft, i woke up sore 😫. The staff were friendly tho. I didn't chance going to breakfast.

You get what you pay for.
The hotel was not very clean. Apparently there was a boxing event going on in the area and they were registering at this hotel. It made it very uncomfortable for my daughter and I being both females walking around the hotel. In the morning I went down for coffee and the entire lobby was full of the people registering for the event we couldn’t even get to the breakfast area and we got ready and just checked out.

Wilmington is nice but this hotel not so nice. Had to switch rooms because of musty smells. One of the front lady's, not sure if it was a manager, instead of knocking, opened our door and came in because it didn't close correctly. Breakfast was lacking badly. Just overall not a nice stay.

The property needs renovations. The hairs dryer wire was reconnected by hand and that's a safety issue for any traveler. The toilet did not work so I was give another room. Constant noise from the fridge all night long kept me awake. The breakfast has no meat... terrible. Unfortunately I will have to find a newer hotel to stay in unless this is renovated immediately.

The chair was broken when we entered; only one partial toilet paper roll was in the bathroom; light bulb over the desk was broken; it appeared that a good check on the room had not been done. Upon returning to the room Saturday, odor of smoke was all through the hallway. The room was basically clean; beds were nice, plenty of pillows on the bed; shower was good, and nice to have a step-in. Staff at front desk were not all that friendly; the manager who brought a new chair was very friendly. Breakfast was poor; bagels hard and very little selection. Not up to par with a Sleep Inn establishment!
