This hotel was great. Really perfect location. Big rooms. Nice staff. Cafe and restaurant on site. Will be my go-to. Only isue was internet was down for 24 hours, but I was told that's not the norm and was also offered a comp for a dinner at the restaurant. All in all, a pretty perfect place to stay.

Beautiful hotel & view of the river. Comfortable beds. Front desk staff were awesome. The valet staff were awesome. ($25 valet/$20self park/per day) No mini frige, coffee maker or microwave in room. No free coffee downstairs. The coffee bar attendant was a little hard to find when you need your coffee 1st thing in the AM. The bartender was missing for several minutes, then when he came back he didn’t greet me or smile. Unfriendly.

Got to the hotel at 4pm for the listed check in time. Was told the room was not clean and would be ready in an hour. We come back an hour later and we are given our room and room keys. When we approached the room the door was cracked open and the room was still dirty. We went back to the front desk and they "upgraded" our room. We had dinner plans so we dropped our stuff off in the room and went to dinner. We explored downtown Wilmington a bit and returned to the room around 11pm. When we got back into the room we found out that not only was our shower not working, but the water in our room was not working at all. We couldn't use the sink, flush the toliet, or shower. With it being so late we decided to suck it up and deal with it, but we will definitely never return.
