This property suits travelers who want extra space and predictable full-service perks, thanks to its all-suite layout, pull-out sofas, and included made-to-order breakfast plus evening reception.

Travel tips
If you’re visiting for a game or campus event, plan to walk to the Bob Carpenter Center and Delaware Stadium—both are within roughly 10 minutes on foot. For nature breaks, White Clay Creek State Park and Lums Pond State Park are a short drive away, while Wilmington museums and venues (around 19–20 km) typically require a drive. Philadelphia International Airport is about 34 miles away, so allow extra time for airport transfers and traffic.
What guests say
Guests frequently highlight consistently friendly, helpful service across check-in, breakfast, and the evening reception. The lobby atrium makes a strong impression, and comfort—particularly beds—is mentioned positively. Complimentary perks like the made-to-order breakfast and nightly drinks/appetizers are often appreciated, though some guests report the hot breakfast items can be inconsistent. A recurring criticism is that some rooms feel worn or show housekeeping lapses, with occasional reports of tired furnishings and uneven towel quality; staff responsiveness (such as switching rooms after an issue) is also noted.
