8/10 Good
"Charged $2.00 for one doze of alkaseltzer was rediculous. Elevator was not the best experience"
Baymont by Wyndham Wilmington
2/10 Terrible
"The outlets where sparking, the phone was both broken and disconnected from the wall, the refrigerator was at room temperature, the only chair in the handicap assessable room was a wheeled office chair on hard uncarpeted floors. The staff was belligerent and did not keep promises. The walls are paper thin so expect to hear all your neighbors' goings on. The room also did not have a bathroom sink you will need to wash your hands in the other room. Also, the hot water did not work the second night.
On the upside the sheets and towels appear to have been laundered, the door locked, and the room the seemed to be waterproof. And if you are into it there are plenty of ladies of negotiable affections at hand."
