Travel tips
Because it’s just off I‑495, this property is best approached as a drive-to stop; plan to have a car for reaching Wilmington attractions and parks. If you’re heading to Bellevue State Park, it’s about 3 miles away and can be an easy first or last stop around a short outdoor visit. Guest reports mention noise and hallway conditions, so light sleepers may want to prepare accordingly.
