Homewood Suites by Hilton Wilmington

Although the hotel had recently had a major renovation, we didn’t see much of a difference from this past January. It was extremely clean, and their breakfasts outstanding. For those two things I give five stars. My only complaint was we had anticipated the same room style as January. I reserved the king suite and asked for an upgrade if possible. They told me to ask again as it got closer. I called the day before arrival to confirm and again asked for the upgrade and mentioned how happy we were in January. I understood the gentleman to tell me we already had the largest room. When we arrived, there was no fireplace like last year and the room, although a nice size, much smaller than last time. With a husband and two teenagers, we prefer the largest rooms possible. At checkout, I mentioned it. Apparently, we did not have the upgraded largest room we requested and learned they removed the fireplaces. Wonder why as we thought that was pretty awesome during the winter, and certainly made the room more homey.

I didn’t understand why only 97% said they would return. Then I figured it out.
The other 3% must have stayed and never left!
It was a wonderful experience. Ryan and David at the front desk were fun and efficient.
The bedroom (2 beds and 2^nd TV) was clean and fresh.
The kitchen had a 2 burner stove, micro, full sized refrigerator and dishwasher.
The living room was large with a sofa bed couch and 1^st TV.
Everything was clean and nicely organized. There were plenty of outlets for our too numerous electronic gadgets.
If we hadn’t had appointments back home, we would have stayed forever.

My husband and I stayed here for 4 days this past week. Since this was a Hilton hotel we were expecting big things and this hotel delivered!
Our suite was large, clean, and spacious. There was a living area with a sofa bed couch and chair, a dining table, and a kitchen equipped with a 2 burner stove, refrigerator, microwave, and dishwasher. The refrigerator came in handy as we had traveled with some snacks that needed to stay cold. The bedroom had a large king sized bed and the bathroom was a decent size. We were happy with how clean and large it was. On the refrigerator was a dinner menu for the week.
Another great thing about this hotel are the meals. It’s not that they are anything special but having a hot breakfast and dinner everyday was really nice. We didn’t have to spend the extra money and the food was decent. For breakfast they have bagels, oatmeal, waffles, fruit, juice, and cereal everyday d then a rotation of eggs, egg scrambles, breakfast meats, potatoes, etc. so everyday is different. Dinner is served Monday through Thursday and everyday there is a salad bar, cheeses, and fresh vegetables. One night we had chicken, potatoes, broccoli, dinner rolls, and lemon meringue pie. Another night the staff grilled out hamburgers, hot dogs, BBQ ribs, and BBQ chicken with potato salads, macaroni salads, coleslaw, and fruit salad for dessert. It’s a really nice display.
As others have said, the man with the red hair always seems to be around and he is wonderful. He’s friendly, makes sure things are running smoothly, and handles the food.
One of the days we were there they were having maintenance done on the pool and it was closed all day. We were very disappointed but spoke with the manager James. He took our concerns into consideration and gave us passes to a lovely nearby pool. He was very apologetic and did everything he could to make it right. He was also a huge help in the business center when the printer wasn’t working. I felt that he wanted us to enjoy our time and made sure we did.
The pool is very nice. It is fairly large and has lounge chairs and tables surrounding it. It was the perfect place to lounge throughout the day.
The hotel also has a 24 hour beverage bar complete with coffee, hot tea, and hot cocoa. It was nice to be able to grab a beverage no matter what time of day it was.
This was a great hotel and we will definitely put Homewood Suites on our list of hotel in the future!

We were disappointed with this hotel.
— Our carpet in the room was soaked when we arrived
— Front desk staff was unprofessional
— Business center printers were not working properly. Front desk did not know how to help. I was told I could «try» the office staff computer, but there was no ink or paper. The staff couldn’t help me.
We do not recommend this hotel.
WILL STICK TO RESIDENCE INN by MARRIOTT hotels

Great location, Great staff, Great food, Great Room!!! One of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept on. I will definitely stay there again.

Rooms were clean and spacious and well taken care of, each room, the bedroom and the living room had flat screen tvs. the location is great too. Noise level was pretty good for the hotel. I couldn’t hear the people next door or anyone around, so it was Quiet. Also close to Longwood Gardens. There are many stores in the vicinity, I particularly noticed that there was a Trader Joes nearby and a Whole Foods, which comes in handy for families.

We are staying here right now. We’re on our way down to Myrtle Beach but decided to stop in Wilmington to see the Winterthur Museum first. We are in room 413. The room is quite a surprise, it’s big and it’s clean! The bed last night was very comfortable and it had 3 pillows, 2 small and 1 large feather pillow. There are 2 large tv s in the suite also. The small kitchen area is a nice convenience, it’s really not that small. there is a 24 hour free coffee, tea, hot chocolate bar in the lobby. Coffee is a bit weak but not a big deal. The pool area is very nice. The hotel is set back off the road down a driveway and is nice and quiet. We will be coming back here when we visit the other mansions and Longwood gardens. Haven’t had breakfast yet, that’s included too but when I went down to get coffee the staff was setting up and it looked like there was going to be a big selection if food. You can’t go wrong for this place, with tax we paid $ 132.00 per night.

We stay here a couple times a year. Rooms are clean, comfortable, spacious, and quiet, with good showers. Very nice having a suite with a kitchen, especially since the grocery store is a short and pleasant walk along the back roads.
We try to be early to breakfast because it can be crowded and chaotic later. They don’t have quite enough seating for peak capacity (we ate in the lobby one morning). It’d also be nice if there was a place to sit away from the TVs, for the few of us who prefer quiet, conversation, or music instead of TV news.
Very easy to overeat at breakfast. Oh sure, I could have lowfat yogurt and fruit. I usually do… right after I finish my french toast, eggs, potatoes, sausage, muffin, and cereal.
Pool is great, free internet is nice, staff are pleasant. We used the exercise room once, that was fine. Good location, too; almost anything we think of to do seems to be a short drive (or walk!) away.

VERY clean. Maid service daily. Nice exercise facility with state of the art equipment. Hot breakfast daily (not your typical continental breakfast). Dinner Mon– Thurs (although not a lot of vegetarian options). Convenient location to many restaurants and shopping centers.

Clean, spacious rooms and friendly service. Breakfast bar was okay — nothing special but it’ll get you going.

Clean, quiet, comfortable. The bed was super comfortable. The room was huge and had a kitchen in it so we were able to cook some meals there instead of going out. Have coffee/​tea/​hot chocolate downstairs at all times. Large buffet breakfast provided but often so crowded with people it’s hard to get a seat. Have washer and dryer that you can use (pay with quarters). No complaints but nothing to make it stand out as excellent either.

I called this place my home for over 3 months this past summer, in between jobs and locations. My family stayed with me 2 of those months. We very much enjoyed our stay: the friendly staff, the pool, meeting some folks spending part of their life in between jobs and locations. We also enjoyed breakfast there. Dinner was not very good, but the hotel is very close to Route 202 and its numerous restaurants, some franchises but many unique offerings

I thought that the room I had (King Suite) was extremely nice. Full size refrigerator with stove and microwave. Very spacious. Breakfast was very good as well… eggs, bacon, make-​your-​own waffle, crepes. Great experience.

Homewood Suites presents a pretty consistent brand. We had a king, non-​smoking suite w/​a fireplace. Very nice touch. This particular property, ask for a room in the back because the front faces another hotel and late check-​ins are noisy. Also, this spot uses powdered eggs for the breakfast buffet. Yuk! Very close to Longwood Gardens and other Dupont related museums.

We have fmialy in the area. When we visit we always stay here. Actions speak louder than words.
Pros:
Good location
Staff friendly and available
Breakfast very elaborate, bacon, eggs, belgium waffle maker. Not just continental
Dinner. Have not attended but glad to see they have since many do not
Spacious rooms.
Very Clean
Very comfortable beds– wish we owned one
Location– off Concord Pike convnient to shopping but set back enough that there is no traffic noise, In fact, Homewood borders on two sides a forest preserve. Our 4 your old likes feeding the horses that come to the fence.
Cons: none
We will go back again.

Great customer service in combination w/​clean, comfortable accommodations. This place *surpassed* my expectations.
Here’s why:
— 5−7pm reception w/​food and beverages (M-​Thur). For those on a budget: Free Dinner! Today, had bbq ribs and chicken, corn on the cob w/​mash potatoes, dessert… and should I state: free beer/​wine?
— Free Shuttle service w/​in 5 mi (rarity over here!)
— Free breakfast includes buffet style eggs and bacon w/​the usual continental style accompaniments
— warm, friendly staff that makes you feel at home
— Free wireless (although not the fastest.) + free *printing* (absurd!)
— comfy beds and spacious rooms
— swimming pool to beat the heat
