Stayed one night. Given a smoking room (by accident) on the 5th floor right next to the elevator. Entire hallway reeked of cigarettes. Carpet had burn stains; white sheets had a few stains. Touble with room keys. There were 5-throw-sized pillows on the king bed- very awkward to sleep with. Did not even want to try the morning breakfast. Older... More

We were recently at this hotel and as a whole was very pleased with it. It was clean and tidy. The breakfast was decent but what I wanted to make a note of was the friendliness of the staff. They were all very friendly and helpful, but One young man in particular I would like to single out. This is... More

The staff was very helpful and friendly, but the room was not so nice. We had to switch rooms during the night because the toilet overflowed. The ceiling needed some repair. The water in the shower never got hot, we took barely warm showers the 2 nights we were there. We will never stay there again.

I wanted to write a review of the helpfulness of the staff at the Comfort Inn since I didn't actually stay due to canceling my reservation. I had booked a room through Priceline for a non-smoking room as I was in town for business. When I arrived at the Comfort Inn (at approximately 2pm) I was told they did not... More

Stayed here for 2 nights while visiting Wilmington. Our room was "tired". The popcorn ceiling looked as if it would fall on us during the night but we managed to escape each morning. The rugs were equally as tired and worn. The "dresser" drawers stuck and were very difficult to open, the cabinet which held the microwave and refrigerator must... More

SO CONVENIENT. I really couldn't ask for more- we were close to the beach, downtown Wilmington, a ton of restaurants within walking distance... Really, for someone who is on-the-go, this place is ideal. Breakfast was also convenient and well-made. The staff members were excellent from the moment I arrived, and very responsive to my requests, as well as knowledgeable about... More

I couldn't believe this is a "Choice Hotel". First, if I hadn't asked to see my room in advance... I would have flipped out after I checked in. The room the front desk employee cared to show me had a used condom behind the fridge. It was clean, half assed cleaned, with a used condom in it. Seriously? I expect... More

I can't imagine who wrote the good reviews!!! This location of Comfort Inns is a disgrace to the brand. My husband had been staying here because he needed a cheap bed to sleep in while setting up a new store. I flew down to spend a few days with him, and went running out in my pj's to find another...

Very nice spot. Great price for the value. Breakfast was delicious. My father and I had a great time in this hotel. It's luxury at a bargain rate. It has everything you need and plus some. Staff goes above and beyond to ensure the guests are a priority. Great for business, family, vacation, weddings, graduations, etc...
