Homewood Suites by Hilton Wilmington Downtown

I have never had such a bad experience, even in less prestigious hotels. First, I slipped on the extremely slippery floor, then noticed that the circuit breakers were popped, so no outlet to dry my wet hair, then I realized the remote didn’t have batteries, then the dirt from the overhead fan was falling onto the bed, then they mopped the floor twice to alleviate the slipperiness (didn’t help), then I realized after having slept that the door doesn’t shut automatically like hotel doors are supposed to. When I mentioned that I had slipped and fallen on the slippery floor, the response was, “Be careful.” On my final morning, the circuit breakers popped once again, so no hair dryer! I must say that the people whom they sent up to the room to handle these many issues were very respectful.

This brand-new Homewood Suites by Hilton Wilmington Downtown (located at 820 Justison Street) sits in a well-managed hotel zone along the Christina River, with easy access to the Riverwalk and nearby restaurants. The suite itself was impressively spacious and comfortable—exactly what I’d expect from Homewood Suites. That said, my stay was unfortunately marred by a few notable issues: 1. The HVAC system was a major problem. It directed warm air straight onto the beds and was extremely noisy, waking me up at least five times during the night. This made sleep difficult and significantly impacted my rest. 2. Breakfast was not served during my stay. While I understand this occurred just a few days after a major winter storm, it’s disappointing for an extended-stay property that promotes comp

This is a three star rated hotel but I think it’s only because the rooms are not super fancy. But my room was in outstanding condition and it was pristine clean. The shower had lots of pressure and plenty of hot water. There’s a big screen TV and it had my name on it welcoming me to the hotel. This is a suite so it has a refrigerator and freezer a dishwasher a cooktop And a microwave plus it had enough utensils for you to make and enjoy your own meals. Hardwood floors it’s really nice. And it has a huge picture window that looks out on the Riverwalk and on the river, which is a spectacular view. Breakfast was a buffet style, but it was very well done and the seating was in a picturesque dining area. In addition to regular breakfast food, they also offered a taco bar which I thought was a

⭐️⭐️ Two Stars — Very Disappointing Stay I’ve stayed in the area many times and decided to try this hotel instead of my usual spot. Even though the building looks newer and more modern, the room itself was a major letdown. I paid extra for a river-view room — which was the only positive — but the entire stay was overshadowed by a massive fruit-fly infestation. I’m not exaggerating when I say I ended up killing over fifty of them. I had to put all my food and snacks in the fridge just to keep the flies away. When I informed the front desk late in the evening, instead of offering a room change or sending housekeeping, they handed me a bottle of Lysol and told me to spray the room myself. So after coming back from rehearsal at 10pm, I spent nearly two hours spraying and killing flies, then
