I traveled to Wilmington over Christmas weekend for a "sentimental journey." Not surprising, hotel was essentially empty. Immediate impression of staff was blue collar -- not hotel professionals. They spent more time "hanging out" talking than handling guests. Had requested room in location as quiet as possible (light sleeper). While in process of unpacking overheard children outside room using hallway... more

Great hotel value. Clean and luxurious. Expensive parking fee was refunded because of a noisy party on our floor. Very convenient location to city and surrounding attractions. Only a block or 2 to Rodney Square and to the Opera house; and only 10 min. to Winterthur estate. more

This was my 3rd trip to Wilmington. I always avoided staying in the downtown because of all the bad things I have read about it in a few blogs and reviews. I stayed at Claymont (15 mins north) and at Brandywine (about 20 mins away) during my previous two visits. This time I wanted to stay closer to my friend's... more

There is a Clairon across the street that charges $60 a night and I find these two hotels very comparable, the main difference being Double Tree charges you $150 a night (though Clairon has terrible service and no windows!!!) Pros: The front desk is very friendly. I love those guys. They give you a cookie, the cookie is good but... more

We stayed at the Doubletree Wilmington Downtown,Wilmington, DE. It was a great value for the money. We booked our hotel on priceline for only $50 a night. What a savings! We even stayed an extra night. The room was well apppointed, with many updated features. It was also convenient to instate I-95 and restaurants. If you're traveling with kids it... more

Actually, cookies and Wi Fi are free. The parking garage is owned by the City of Wilmington. That is why there is a fee.

This is not as good as most Doubletrees at which I've stayed. The service is mostly very good, but I've experienced 1 or 2 people with attitude (not on my most recent stay, however--everyone was nice). The room was fine except a slow drain in the shower but kind of drab, and the place was quiet. However, the restaurant isn't... more

This hotel is value for the money. Good clean hotel. The service is excellent. and parking is just $15 unlimited entery and exit. Located downtown. Only thing lacking in the room is a mini fridge. Other than that, it can be recommended to anyone. more

This was a clean hotel with nice, newly renovated rooms on the executive floor. The piano in the lobby never seems to be in use. The nickel and diming for add-ons always seems tacky at a nice hotel like this. They charge for parking and wifi but give away cookies. It should be the other way around. more

Great deal on Priceline for a weekend stay. Mostly a business and conference hotel. Downtown is quiet and Wilmington is struggling to revive the downtown core and river area. Staff was extremely accomodating and did not look down on us for using Priceline. 10 minute drive to get to Concord Pike and WIlderness Canoe Trips and great cheap burger joint... more

The outside of the hotel is OK. Nothing special. The hotel room was large and clean. The staff was friendly. Not much to do around downtown. No restaurants nearby. The hotel restaurant is very average. The parking is not free. I don't mind paying for parking in a major city like New York, Washington, Philadelphia, etc, but paying for parking... more
