Be aware. An unannounced $26/day parking fee will be charged to your account. Parking service is so-so. We had one who was excellent, others were disappointing. The concierge manager was defensive & unpleasant.

Love going to Wilmington. Great little town. I’m not sure if the hotel is pet friendly. But it did smell like urine in our room. Did not notice so we came back from out in the evening. Did not want to bother the people at the front desk about it. At that time it was too late for them to do anything anyway. Great staff though.
