10/10 Excellent

"Friendly staff , clean a lot of food and stores in walking distance "

Baymont by Wyndham Wilmington

2/10 Terrible

"The bed in the room was not clean, we were out late came in to go to bed and had to sleep on the top comforter. It was 2am and I had a 4 hour drive in the morning. This was discussing, urine in the bed. Told them when we left and said we will get maintenance on it. That’s all that was said. Not happy, will never return to that Hotel ever again"
