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...

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.

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.
