We were very disappointed with our stay. The hotel was not clean, the indoor pool was very cold. The entire fourth floor had a horrible smell. The water leaded over the entire bathroom when the shower was in use. We had to beg for fresh towels, and the room phone did not work. The breakfast items were not replenished. When we asked about issues we received no help or lots of attitude regarding our problems. The valet parking was advertised by email at $25 but was $29 on site.

Arrived at 2:10 pm — said to come back at 3 for room. When returned- they said they overbooked and didn't have a room & they were overbooked. I indicated it was not acceptable. We eventually got a room. The AC didn't work, the refrigerator didn’t work and the cable went out u til morning. I will never stay there again. The valet service was excellent— only polite people there.

I would give it 5 stars except that the valet parking was confusing, inconvenient and frustrating! The young men working there were outstanding but seemed to be working within a system that wasn’t working. We were late for two events as a result of the valet parking! First time ever at a Hampton Inn without its own/visitor parking ☹️!

The kids had a blast in this place! The indoor pool was warm, which was a plus. My wife and I walked around downtown, which you can easily walk around from the hotel and back. The staff were amazing and very attentive to our needs. Excellent breakfast and service too! The valet parking is a good option if you’re just staying in downtown Wilmington, but if you’re heading to the beach I would try to find street parking.

There is absolutely no parking on the property it’s self. There is a parking garage but you have to pay to park and it’s 10 dollars a day if you leave your car over night which you essentially have no choice. The meter is free after 6:30 at night till night 9:00 am the next morning and only has three of them. You can valet but again that is 29 dollars for the weekends.
