Top Bear Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Downtown Wilmington - Legal District

8/10 Good

"Well, it is good place to close the downtown street just 1 block and about 4 or 5 blocks walking to Amtrak Station! It is okay with Wilmington see-sighting and an hour drive to capital (Dover) see-sighting was cooler!"

Brandywine River Hotel

8/10 Good

Sonesta Select Newark Christiana Mall

Best Western Plus Newark/Christiana Inn

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel. Beautiful pool and spa. We got in late so didn’t get to use the pool. Was awakened at 5 in the morning to equate as the hotel was flooded. A water main break! We waited outside for an hour. Everyone started to leave.’no one told us anything. We drove to our next destination in a pouring rainstorm."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Newark Wilmington South

10/10 Excellent

"TGIF was connected to the hotel watch the football game was great. We were staying at hotel to drop off camper to get work done they had plenty of parking and very accommodating. Great stay"

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Wilmington

8/10 Good

"Upon check-in we were welcomed by Corey who was professional and courteous. There was an issue with the main corridor was extremely hot as if no ac was on. I came down to the front desk and a manager who I believe was Mr. Brown took care of it immediately. Upon checking out the woman at the front desk (don’t recall her name) was also very nice, professional and eager to assist. All staff was professional and courteous except the woman bartender who had more interest with her phone than she did with assisting customers. I waited and watched her and a man discuss something about her phone for over 15 mins while I waited to order a drink. When she finally did approach me, she was not friendly and showed no customer service. Room was fine, bed was comfortable, but attention to details in the bathroom are needed. Wallpaper peeling and nicks on the wall under the left side of the sink and can be seen while using the toilet. Due to hotel being so busy and noisy due to a catered event (wedding I think) and main door didn’t work. Overall hotel condition is 3, but all of the staff (except bartender) is a 5 which brought the rating up to a 4."

Super 8 by Wyndham Pennsville/Wilmington

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean, back parking lot really needs to be cleaned up but going there for 3 years and never had an issue. Breakfast is ok even though milk was sour 2 out of the 3 days had to ask for new then it was just fine and as usual the staff was very helpful n doing a great job."
