A fantastic stay for a quick get-away, and reasonably priced. I especially enjoyed the suite's layout with the island table within the kitchen looking into the lounge area. Bedroom is separate from lounge area with a television and phone in each location. All rooms were very clean and the staff was very courteous. I couldn't have picked a better location... more

We stayed one night at this location. 2 adults and 3 kids. We had a 2 room suite which was great. There were 2 seperate bedrooms and a living room kitchen area. Great place if traveling with kids. Only down side of this room was that it only had one bathroom. It did have a seperate sink area out side... more

We were very pleasantly surprised at this suite! The room was very nice and extremely comfortable. The bed was a dream to sleep on. I think what sold us the most though was the full size refrigerator w/ice maker, two burner stove, microwave, dishwasher and just enough dishes for two people! The staff was great and we are going to... more

I have no idea why this place is #3 on the list. My family and I booked 2 rooms here for a wedding weekend in October after reading the great reviews and because of the spacious rooms. The staff was very nice, but the facility as a whole is not. The entire place smelled strongly of air freshener in an... more

This facility has raised the bar for hotel/suite accomodations. My wife and I found Mainstay Suites on our last trip and were so impressed with the ammenities etc... that we booked a suite for our recent trip to Wilmington. Our "Home" away from home was a king size suite complete with full kitchen, eating/business area & sitting/lounge area. At $117... more

We needed a place to spend a week while visiting family and the Mainstay proved to be a good choice for us. The one bedroom suite with kitchen and living room was spacious and clean. The location was good, with restaurants and a Target nearby. It was also and easy drive to other parts of Wilmington to see the sites... more

We found this hotel after checking in to another hotel and finding it disgusting. This is the best hotel I have stayed at in Wilmington yet. We travel every year and have never found such great accommodations for the price. Price was higher than most but after getting in the room we certainly didn't mind it was huge. From check... more
