This is such a nice place to stay. It is a little apartment! We really enjoyed the location. It’s a 5 minute walk to the riverwalk. The place is very clean and quiet. The appliances were modern and high quality. It even has a reverse osmosis water filtration system! For us, we love that it is dog friendly and hope to return with ours someday. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom is large and has its own heater from the fan which was also amazing.

We absolutely loved our stay here! The room felt more like a stylish studio apartment — super spacious with its own living room and kitchen. The ambience was really cool and modern, and the shower was amazing. The location couldn’t be better: right in downtown Wilmington, NC and walking distance to tons of great restaurants, bars, and shopping. It was so convenient to just park once and explore everything on foot. Overall, a perfect stay. We’d 100% come back again!

Stayed here last weekend with a group of friends. Loved the hotel and all the unique decor of each room. It is downtown and close to walking distance of multiple restaurants and the river. Highly recommend for a unique boutique hotel experience.
