Wonderful property. Very friendly, helpful staff. The restaurant makes a mean breakfast burrito. This property is very dog friendly. The only problem I had was the person above me was very heavy footed and had a dog and I could hear them walking around all night so try to get a room on the third floor.

Another great stay!

Repeat visit celebrating our anniversary and Arrive once again did not disappoint! Fantastic location downtown Wilmington and within walking distance of the best shopping and dining. We once again used the bar/ restaurant and the staff is consistently friendly and helpful. The valet service is convenient and fast with as many in and outs as one desires. We will be back!

If you want to enjoy the water front area of Wilmington, you'd be hard pressed to beat the location and amenities of this hotel. Everything from the rooms to the service to the outside bar was excellent. Did I mention the outside bar? Excellent! It's within walking distance of everything on the waterfront.
