Wilmington, Delaware was first settled by the Swedish in 1638. Over time, the area has also been home to the Dutch, the British and the Quakers, a long diverse history that has left its mark on the surrounding area. Visit Fort Christina and experience what it was like to be one of the first colonists in Wilmington. The Delaware Art Museum, with a extensive collection of American art, celebrates the Brandywine School, a style of painting named for the nearby Brandywine Creek.

This hotel is in a great location in this town (which is a rough place to visit). It is centrally located and near a rejuvenated part of the city, with a river overlook (at least from my room). The included breakfast was great, and everyone was friendly and polite. Hotel is located next to some very popular restaurants, which has its pos & neg. Hotel is right near a running/walking path along the river. My room had a lot of physical plant noises (fan motors and an HVAC system) and was quite musty and dank. King bed was comfortable, and the sitting areas were fine. Couldn't get the streaming service to work with the TV. If I HAD to return to Wilmington, I would stay again.

Hotel Du Pont

Eloquence and class

Reviewed By Richard_197409

I'm grateful that hotels like this do still exist. Hotel Du Pont obviously has high regards for "customer care". Most importantly to me, the rooms are impeccably clean. This is huge in my book. Secondly, the staff is kind, courteous, and attentive. We needed sheets for the pullout - door rang in less than 10 minutes. The comfort and the quality of the furniture, mattress and sheets - high. Similar to ritz c. The hotel and some furnishings may be old, but it's not old in a broken/dusty/worn way. It's old in an eloquent, "made-well" sort of way. I would highly refer this hotel.

Stay was fine but had way higher expectations for being a DoubleTree Hilton brand. Staff was extremely friendly however the rooms were very very small with one of the tiniest hotel bathrooms I've ever seen with the Hiltons. Cleanliness was probably my biggest factor as everything from the hallway floors to the elevator having crusted up discolored buttons, penises carved out on the elevator panel, rooms were bit dirty & you can tell they don't clean under the mattress or behind the bed well as tons of dust was caked on & debris/trash. Only reason I didn't request another room was due to the late check-in we had would have been to much of a pain to swap out that late. The positives were besides the friendly staff, shower pressure was FANTASTIC & location of the property.

Expected More from a Hilton

Reviewed By SkateGirl314

Even cookies can’t excuse our stay. The first night we arrived and check in later after traveling and were ready to just get to bed. We had a king bed that was broken, it had unbelievable sage in the middle causing my husband and I to keep rolling into one another making it difficult to sleep. The next day we changed our room. The bed was better but we were right by the elevator which woke us up when some party goers returned loudly to their room. We also could hear the guests in the adjoining room who had a child that would not stop yelling in the morning. Hotel could use a refresh. Best time we are in the area visiting family we will most likely stay elsewhere.

Must say, when my brother-in-law chose this motel I was less than delighted because of previous bad experiences with Holiday Inns. This one was a great exception. It's new and had everything, even a tasty breakfast! Mattresses/pillows comfy, staff extremely nice, can't say enough good things about it.

I’m enjoying my Starbucks coffee (from the lobby restaurant) on my balcony, overlooking a park-like setting, as I write this. I slept like a log on a comfortable bed in a quiet, dark room. I rarely write reviews (and I travel a lot), but my experience here has been so perfect that I feel compelled to do so. Marcia at check-in was outstanding—friendly, efficient, and helpful. Ditto this morning when she served me in the restaurant. My stay here has been perfect. I know I’ll be back!
