Great property, SUPER CLEAN, well appointed rooms with everything you need for an extended stay or even just for a few days Staff were awesome and very helpful in acclimating me to the area, as this was my first time in Wilmington I’d definitely stay here again if I’m ever back in the Wilmington area!A good thing to know, pointed out to me by the front desk staff, is there are no parking enforcement officers in the downtown on the weekends, so you can park on the street in front of the hotel or nearby for free and not worry about feeding the meters

Obviously don’t park in front of a fire hydrant or other areas where it’s an obvious “no parking” zone, but no need to worry about time limits on the street Garage parking for the hotel is $14 per day otherwise

Laura Muse McGuire

For the price, this hotel is a huge let down Front desk staff was incredibly unhelpful & unprofessional At check in, we were given no information about parking and had to come back to ask where to park and again to ask how to validate

The front desk staff that checked us out was on FaceTime and had AirPods in the whole timeOur bathroom was not clean Hairs in the shower and all over the bathroom floor The shower did not drain properly so you were standing in an inch of water within 3 minutes The rest of the room and the bed was clean The room had a weird smell thoughBreakfast was barely edible and the location was less than desirable There was broken wood with rusty nails sticking out right out front of the hotel entranceSave your money and stay somewhere else

Galina Frolova

We stayed in this hotel for a night and liked it so much that I booked the next night at the same hotel with points especially because the price in points was really good I asked for receipt after our stay but was told that it will be emailed to me Imagine my surprise when in a few days I see that somehow my reservation in points was cancelled and my credit card was charged instead!! I am titanium elite member and stayed in many marriott hotels before and it’s the first time it happened to me

I submitted a claim on the marriott website last week and nobody reached out to me which is frustrating to say the least

Never againService was subpar There were times when you can’t find anyone at the front desk

The rooms were decent size but the carpet can be filthy They were definitely a bit dated, looked like this was a first generation Residence Inn that was bought out and downgradedThe location was not convenient and overpriced Upscale area this is not

Lornel Tompkins

Front desk very accommodating Prompt in bringing whatever is needed in the room with room service not offered on a daily basis for first three days You can request servicing of the room 24 hours in advance

Adequate parking Great location for a meeting connecting to a convention center Food is good Handicap accessible rooms don’t all have walk in showers or even a shower with a low lip A tub with bars attached to the wall is not adequate

Chintan Patel

The service at this hotel was very friendly The morning manager who prepares breakfast everyday for the buffet is professional courteous and downright one of the nicest hotel managers around We came in from Brandon for a wedding this past week and we’re treated to the kindest service and a delicious breakfast every morning

Thanks for a wonderful stay we really enjoyed our stay

Sylvia Perry

It was ok good is to much and bad isn’t good enough The staff was fine the bed was comfortable but the shower floor was so dirty I wanted to wear shower shoes I made the mistake of trying to split my hotel bill on two cards and the girl completely messed it up

I ended up with pending charges of well over $300 on one card and nothing on the other (Wow) how she did that I’m not sure We had to call to for the error to be fixed We just wanted a one night getaway from our everyday life This place was not worth $230 dollars I did enjoy our dinner and a movie and just a chance to relax

Julie McBride

This hotel is GREAT especially for the price point! Didn’t cost an arm and a leg Staff was very friendly and helpful The pool was the best part, open from 9AM to 9PM and was extremely clean

3-5 foot so was perfect for our kids The breakfast Buffett had some good options including: waffle maker, bagels, little danishes, yogurt, cereal, hot eggs, sausage and biscuits, a juice machine etc Our room was extremely clean basic amenities I mean nothing extravagant but clean and everything worked Bathroom was fully stocked with towels which I appreciated Beds were comfortable and the pillows as well, clean white linensThe only slight issues we ran in to was the toilet clogging up and not having a plunger to fix it I suggest putting a cheap plunger in the rooms since it happened multiple times also the vending machines didn’t take credit cards like most places do cause a lot of people like myself don’t carry cash around anymoreOther then then that, I loved my stay Thanks for the excellent customer service 😊We will return for sure!

Sammy

This Comfort Inn & Suites offers spacious rooms The hotel staff is friendly The room was decent just needs a bit of updating

I’m a stickler for my bathroom areas The bathroom presented clean except the toilet needed to be cleaned much better, I don’t like to see urine drops They also offer a typical continental breakfast, I picked up a frozen Jimmy Dean sandwich and coffee since there is a microwave and refrigerator in the rooms Lastly I really didn’t care for the side road location, but on the plus side it’s not in a noisy area

Bobbie Wu

Tried comfort inn for the first time Worst “3-star hotel” ever Won’t come again

1, Loud noises from next door at 5 am in the morning The rooms are connected from inside through double doors which are not sound proof, so by design you can hear people from next door clearly If you are unfortunate like me who has people next door playing loud rap music at 5 in the morning, your sleep will be ruined2, Horrible smell The room I stayed in smelled like somebody just had a pot partyDefinitely stay away from Comfort Inn in the future Other 3-star hotels like the Hampton Inn are infinitely better

I stayed at Brinton Suites from August-October 2019 whilst in the process of moving back to my native country, England This place is in great location, very affordable and the staff are lovely! The owner/manager is very friendly I would recommend the suites to those considering staying in West Chester! If I could leave more than a 5 star review, I would!

barbie crook

The room and bathroom were very clean However, the bed (room 105) was so small for 2 people and my feet were hanging off the end I was cold, and the quilt was so thin and I couldn’t sleep because of the noise of the fridge

There was only one night stand and lamp and one outside patio chair The entrance area smelt awful, of very strong cleaning productsI would not stay here again

014kaysee

I give this place 4 stars for cleanliness, but there are no staff on the premises that can help with anything We were unable to get any clean towels, and had trouble with the television reception with no one to help fix it The room was very clean with the exception of the microwave, which had what looked to be mold growing in spots inside of it

Overall, it is a beautiful place, but they need at least one staff member on the premises to help guests when they need it

Catherine Roldan

The first thing I look for is cleanliness and I give this hotel a 5-star rating for cleanliness Our room was spotless and the air smelled fresh Continental breakfast in a cute little breakfast room

Centrally located and only 10 minutes to Longwood Gardens Restaurants close by One suggestion put a deflector on the AC The unit is low and the air blows right on the bed I would use this hotel again

Twofor Breakfast

It’s a solid 3 star hotel The hotel doesn’t try to be more than what they need to deliver The location of the hotel is undeniably its best feature

10 mins from the longwood gardens, an awesome bakery just outside the hotel, and some highly rated restaurants down the drivewayThe rooms were clean, dust free, smell free, it does need some updating in regards to carpets and tiles in the bathroom The door didn’t lock properly and needed a little push or pull to lock properlyYour stay comes with a basic breakfast, but if you are staying for the weekend there is a great bakery just a short walk awayThe service was very nice, they try their best given the circumstances

Sammy

Brandywine River Hotel is a nice Historic Hotel located in Chadds Ford PA The rooms are nice and clean The bed was very comfortable

The fireplace in the room we choose was a nice touch although for the room to be called a suite I thought it was a bit on the smaller side The hotel needs to update their carpeting within the rooms and throughout the building The hotel staff was friendly checking in and out went smoothly For breakfast they serve a continental breakfast of coffee, tea, bagels and pastry’s, otherwise I would suggest eating outside of the hotel for better breakfast options Overall this was a decent hotel, nice and quiet located in a beautiful area Longwood gardens it’s just an 8 minute drive away! If you plan to visit Longwood call the hotel and they will offer you a package deal for entry into the Gardens

Charlene Bee

It’s supposed to be a smoke-free establishment, but I could smell cigarette smoke everywhere especially in the hallways like it’s burnt into the carpetingWe choose this location because it was pet friendly and they have an indoor pool, but because of the pandemic, the pool is unfortunately closed I understand that, but I wish they said it on their website or wherever they’re advertised

Also because of the pandemic, there was no daily cleaning/servicing of the rooms so quite a few people decided it was okay to leave their garbage in the hallsThere’s a restaurant and bar available that serves breakfast for an extra fee

Joshua Terenzini

If you look at my review history, you’d see it’s very seldom that I leave a bad review We were treated terribly by one of the front desk employees (never got her name) and the room (147) smelled terrible of cigarettes When I asked for a different room, my family and I were treated absolutely terrible

There were plenty of nice hotels in the area; do yourself a favor and stay at one of those!

My husband and I stayed at this Staybridge for 17 nights with our dog in a two-bed suite We needed a place while we found a rental house and it was a good experience overallPositives: The hotel was dog-friendly which was the initial appeal for us

Dogs can be left in the room alone if they are crated, and it was only $150 for the whole stay The room itself was comfortable and clean Great water pressure in the shower The breakfast was decent every morning The staff was very nice and accommodating, and because of our longer stay the manager ensured we were getting the best nightly rate The location is fantastic and close to shopping, restaurants, parks for the dog, and easy access to major roads Nice pool, outdoor patio, food and beverage area, etcCons: We brought a lot of kitchen items with us, which was good since the kitchenette is pretty small and not a lot provided The internet was slow at times The social hour food left a lot to be desired, but we mainly took advantage of the drinks (For example, their “stir fry vegetables” was only plain steamed broccoli, and “salad” one night was giant, whole pieces of Romaine set out) We considered anything at the social hour a bonus, but I just want others to be aware and not plan your meals around itOverall I would stay here again, and even though it was expensive, we felt that it was a good value when factoring in having the dog with us

Deon A

I was really enjoying my stay at this hotel until the evening of the 2nd day The guest across the hall had a dog which would not stop making weird yelping and scratching sounds It was so continuous and disruptive that I had to call the front desk because I thought that there was something wrong with the dog, or the owner

Sadly, my calls were useless because the awful sounds continued Apparently, the front desk called the room, but there was no response To me it seemed that the dog was in the room alone and wanted out Because of this one bad experience, I will be avoiding pet friendly hotels from now on because this was definitely not human friendly Apart from this incident, the hotel room was comfortable and the staff was extremely helpful Laundry is free, breakfast is substantial (not as many choices as other Staybridge locations), and the hotel is in a great location near stores and restaurants

The hotel was close to campus and thedesk staff were pleasant There was an awful moldy smell in the hallways (several different hallways, over two days) The beds were okay, but not super comfortable

And, the “restaurant” offering breakfast was all microwaved food Overall, the hotel was clean and the rates were great But, I don’t think we’d return unless other options are sold out

Rawlings Vadanga

Friendly staff, spacious and great location However seems a mismatch to have old thermostats in such a modern hotel, especially if they don’t work Got to the hotel at 11:45 pm after a long drive on a winter night

Thermostat did not work Waited for about 30 mins, no luck It was a close to 1:50 am when I finally got another roomManager told me she would call me since she had just got to work when I checked out She didn’t

Laura Forrester

We checked in for our wedding weekend, and learned they gave our suite away to someone else They put us in a normal room, s offered to charge us for a normal room rate (as if this was helpful so we weren’t paying the suite rate that we booked, no duh) and comped the second night Also not helpful since the suite was supposed to be complimentary on our wedding night since we have the Marriott a 50 room block full of paying guests

Next, I went to my room to sleep for night #1 after a long rehearsal and dinner I just wanted to go to bed There was dirt all over the beds I brushed off before going to sleep I will be sharing pictures with the hotel tomorrow Thanks for ruining my stay and grossing me out during my wedding

Husband and I just got to the hotel tonight The property and location is absolutely nice! The place is extremely clean but I have to be honest, my husband and I are globalist members and the lady at the front desk working now does not recognize hyatt loyalty members We booked this hotel last minute since we had a long drive going back home and got in late

We event went out of our way to find a Hyatt hotel since we want the stay to go towards maintaining our membershipWhen I asked if there were any rooms facing the riverfront, the lady at the front desk said there are in fact rooms available for upgrade, but we would have to pay an upgrade charge I told her that I’ve never had anyone tell us that as globalist members, but if that’s their policy at this hotel then it is what it is I just informed her that the perks of being a globalist are free upgrades and more subject to availability Since there was availability then we would love an upgrade She said she could honor the room and it probably won’t mess up their inventory? Whatever that means It was honestly disappointing when I went to grab the key and said thank you and the lady did not say anything back as if she was annoyed that she had to offer the upgrade That was honestly the most disappointing front desk experience we’ve had at Hyatt hotels Is unfortunate that we went out to of our way for this hotel to receive rude service

My family and I stayed here the end of July for a family reunion that was in the area The lobby was clean with plenty of space to chill out and/or watch TV All of the elevators were functional

The pool was small, but it kept the children occupied Our room was clean and equipped with a mini fridge and microwave Continental breakfast offered different types of foods that were good Overall, this place was a good find and I would stay again

Nicole Park

We just stayed in a king room at this Holiday Inn Express & Suites over the weekend The hotel was exceptionally clean Our room was spotless and the bed and bedding were fresh and clean

The restrooms on the main level were also fully stocked and sparkling clean In addition, the décor in the lobby, common areas and guest rooms was updated and comfortable To say I was impressed is an understatement I would highly recommend this hotel when visiting the area and will certainly come back should we pass by this way again

Christina Brogaard

Usually hotel is great But yesterday morning at 9:27, I had my DND up, was getting out of the shower when housekeeping tried to walk into our room I’m not sure why you would try to enter an occupied room with the do not disturb up at that hour

It wasn’t check out time and I certainly wasn’t checked out But we do stay here regularly, which is why I would still give 4 stars But I shouldn’t have to worry about people walking in on you while getting ready for the day

Amazing! Stopped into the historic bar for a drink and it was breathtaking! A walk around the lobby gave us insight on the history and also local attractions currently happening The bar is part of an elegant restaurant, but you will be served if you are casual Lots of activity

Lively room with true craft cocktails Very impressive!

Mark Robbins

Wife and I have been coming here for decades for getaway weekends Why? The place is cool, the gym/sauna are uninhabited, and if not for weddings the entire hotel would be ours alone The people are nice, the macaroons a tradition, and the Green Room romantic (both before and after the renovation)

The bad: prices have been climbing; rooms not getting rehabilitated (yes gold carpet, I have seen you since the 90’s); and room service is often spotty on the weekends (best to get dressed and have brunch in the Green Room)

Sxmply CAS

Lovely hotel with a gorgeous lobby and restaurants on the first floor The staff was friendly and attentive Valet is sometimes slow and I would wait past the time given to get my car

I wish the rooms included a microwave None of the other reviews spoke about the renovated gym It’s probably the best I’ve seen in the hotel The rooms are fine except for the slow draining tub

Nice hotel with huge marble staircase Good check in experience for a late night arrival Room was spacious but bathroom somewhat small

Had to go back downstairs to get makeup remover wipe as none in room Breakfast is on the second floor which is a little odd which I did not eat and there is coffee 24 hours which is fresh grind every time Nice experience and I would recommend to any traveler

Unfortunately our stay at this hotel was the worst hotel experience we’ve ever had There were 20 to 30 people having a wild wedding after party in the room next to ours I went downstairs to ask the manager on duty if he could ask them to please quiet down since it was midnight

He complied with my request and initially the crowd was cooperative but several of the guests became belligerent and told the staff that as soon as he left they were going to resume their party That is exactly what they did The noise made it impossible to sleep until almost 2 o’clock in the morning We specifically booked this hotel because we thought it was a well run facility and would enable us to get a good nights sleep We feel that spending $270 on this type of experience is ridiculous When the guests became belligerent the staff should have called the police and had them removed I asked to speak to the manager upon check out but was told none was available The gentleman at the front desk was disheveled and disinterested and offered only to leave a note for the manager I’ve yet to be contacted Upon check in they make you sign additional paperwork promising to not trash the rooms Evidently this is a recurring issue Stay away if you need a good nights sleep

This hotel is in a great location for getting into Philly, and has many restaurants around We were greeted warmly and the breakfast, although nothing special, was fine Our room was clean and well-kept

So why is my ranking low? Because this hotel is trying to pull the wool over their guests’ eyes in a completely ridiculous wayWhen I registered, I was told that I needed to electronically sign off on a $35 per night credit for any food we might take out of the (very nice) snack closet I did so, and a number of other notices, in tiny print, came up I glanced at them, but the clerk was talking to me at the same time, so I didn’t pay much attention (I know! My mistake!)We were assigned a handicap-accessible room, which was fine, although it did mean that there were only two small hooks in the bathroom, and thus no place to hang up our larger towels I thought that was too bad, as I usually would hang my towels up and save the laundry usage, but we couldn’t So we left our towels on the floor in a pileWhen we returned from our day in the city, we were surprised to see that our room hadn’t been cleaned and the towels had not been replaced When I went to the front desk to report the mistake, the desk clerk informed me, “Actually, we only clean rooms that are occupied by the same people for more than one night every four days” I replied that I hadn’t been made aware of this, and he said that it was listed on the electronic signature form I had signed When I protested that it would have been simple to just tell me when I checked in that this was the policy — like many travelers right now, I can understand that housekeeping help is hard to find, which is what he said the problem was — he said, “Yeah, the owner told us not to tell people, because then people will protest, so instead, he had us just stick it in the signature page so you don’t notice until it’s too late” Then he and the other desk clerk snickered together — yeah, got me, I guessI asked for the manager’s email address to be in touch with him, but I ultimately realized that I’d rather complain to Hotelscom (which I did, as I booked through them) and make them aware of the problem, and to let you, dear reader, know that this is the vibe of this particular hotel As I said, it’s too bad — such a weirdly underhanded thing to do in an otherwise pleasant place Anyway, that’s why they get 2 stars from me!

Such a hidden gem, when we needed a hotel to accommodate our family for a five-month stay it satisfied all our immediate needs Nice sleep, meals, fitness and great staff The suite is like an efficiency apartment with kitchen and living room combo

They have a beautiful lobby area with a fireplace and not to mention the business center to take care of any urgent business matters

Reply to hotel response: yes This is the correct hotel They were directing people to park in the planet fitness lot about a block or two away or to park in the slashed lined areas, including the blue handicap spots

They didn’t have any response when we said we will not park in blue slashed areas that are designated for handicap folks to have space to accommodate physical needs while getting in and out of vehicles There also was no diamond member parking which, my guess is it wouldn’t have mattered anyway Initially though, yes probably one of my favorite homewood suites yetOriginal review:Clean nice hotel Breakfast was not good, no meats at all either Not enough parking – they were telling people to park on the handicap blue lines

Very clean and comfortable place to stay Nicai made sure we where we’ll taken care of and even put a cold beer in my hand as soon as I walked in The lovely lady in the lounge served us meatballs and vegetables for dinner and had served a beautiful breakfast with fresh hot coffee! First time I felt like I was actually on vacation sense we started our trip!

For the price it’s ok Not the greatest hotel What made this place good and I gave them an extra star was the people

Staff was extremely nice They worked with us when they switched our rooms without any notice We checked in our rooms and found one room reeked of smoke, they quickly changed it to a much better room Breakfast was ok, my expectation wasn’t high so I wasn’t disappointed Overall I will not be staying here unless I really had to If you go expecting 5 star hotel experience your in for a world of disappointment

DO NOT STAY HERE Our reservation was not kept This hotel “walked” us to another hotel by calling the day of our stay to say they had moved us to another hotel

However the second hotel had no record of this Went to STAYBRIDGE and the desk clerk told us it was NOT HIS PROBLEM No manager on site despite it being early afternoon Thoroughly disgusted with customer service and no room offered despite having reservation confirmation well in advance Did nothing to help us find a room elsewhere Zero stars, zero chance of booking this chain again
