Our stay was wonderful. Accommodations were clean and well maintained and as a result, this is both a place we would book again and would also recommend to others. The only drawback was the lack of kitchen items. we felt that to be truly useful to seniors or families who have to consider budgets, the kitchen could be better equipped. we know that most businesses are also considering budgets or bottom line as well. To economically equip the kitchen so that it becomes useful, perfectly good kitchen items can be obtained at thrift stores, Goodwill's or discount stores. These are just thoughts from 2 seniors that really enjoyed your property.

While there were stains on the hallway rugs, the room was clean, and the facilities amazing. If you needed something, like a toaster or blender, they had them to borrow. The kitchen [!] in the room had a built in microwave, two burner electric stove, oven, dishwasher, full size refrigerator that was spotless. The drip coffee maker was clean, and made great coffee. The staff members were friendly and helpful, and the breakfast enough to get you going. Coffee all day - a gym, laundry on premises, they allow dogs, beautiful flowers outdoors, a patio with two gas grills and outdoor seating a pleasant shady environment. The king bed was great! no rolling to the middle. I plan to be back!

Comfortable king bed, and clean enough overall (found a stray M&M under chair, and needed to flip cushion over because of worrying stain), asked and received linens for couch bed. Room was spacious and I appreciated the set up with the entry door on the other side of a wall to minimize hearing hallway noise.

Not a 5 star hotel, but a good value for the money, quiet, easy convenient parking, decent room, clean, well stocked. Better than average (included) breakfast, good selection of breakfast foods. If in Wilmington and need a place to stay I highly recommend mainStay suites of Wilmington. It's my new "go to" hotel when I'm in Wilmington.
