Top South Wilmington Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn by Hilton Philadelphia International Airport

8/10 Good

"Was able to check n early and great breakfaat No bar and only one restaurant nearby"

Sonesta Select Philadelphia Airport

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and spacious. The staff were very helpful and honest. I had left a pair of valuable earrings and the housekeeper turned it in to the front desk. Front desk staff I spoke to was also very cordial. It is very rare to have such trustworthy staff (Monica and other housekeeper that took care of room 117) so I hoped the administration realize how fortunate they are. Kudos to your hiring team."

Sonesta Select Newark Christiana Mall

8/10 Good

"The hotel has obviously been newly refurbished. The rooms are spacious, well appointed, clean, and well designed. They had a small continental breakfast with coffee, juices, and pastries which was a nice touch and the staff said that they are planning to have a breakfast with more options in the coming weeks. The lobby and breakfast area were really nice. Beds were comfortable, but pillows were the basic small, square pillows that most hotels have decided to go with these days. Our "ding" for this property is that the doors seem to be having issues (we really had to push to get our room door to open both entering and exiting.) Staff said that because they are new, the seals are extra stiff so hopefully this is something that will improve over time. Overall, this is one of the nicer hotels in this area, and we would stay here again if in the area."
