Omar who was manning the front desk was so very helpful. I was beat when I got to the hotel driving up from North Carolinas. I was greeted by Omar who after checking for my booking informed me that I was supposed to have checked in yesterday. I showed him my conformation to the contrary. He worked with me and also with your support person and cleared up the mistake. I am grateful for everyone’s help, I am sorry I forgot the woman’s name who was the representative from Expedia, if you find out...

The staff was phenomenal, any questions I had were answered immediately, The grounds were super clean and nice. Breakfast was out of this world, I couldn’t ask for a better place to stay and will be recommending it to all my family and friends.

Very nice hotel. One breakfast complaint: As with so many hotels, no sense of what tea-drinkers want. A wide selection of flavored "teas" (which are not actually teas), but no simple, normal tea, such as an English Breakfast Tea. This may seen like nit-picking, but it isn't to tea drinkers. You would never treat coffee drinkers this way.

We were in the area to attend a hockey tournament and needed a two-night stay. Everything was very good. The room was clean and the hotel was very close to shopping and restaurants. Breakfast was fine with eggs, bacon, cereals, yogurt, fruits, muffins, juices and coffee.

We make a trip each year to M&M Hunting and Shooting Preserve and get 3 rooms for 6 guys. The hotel is only about 3.5 miles from M&M. The rooms are clean and very comfortable. The beds were so comfortable I didn't want to get up in the morning. Hubert and Anita and all of the front desk staff were very friendly. We will definitely be going back again next year.

My husband and I were traveling with my 91 yr-old mother, and then my son joined us at this Staybridge in Delaware. I booked a 2-bedroom suite with living room and kitchen. It worked out perfectly in so many ways. Very sound proof. We all got up and went to breakfast at different times without disturbing the others. Breakfast offering was the best I've had at any hotel, when traveling. Enjoyed having all the amenities of home. Would definitely stay here again.
