Staff was super nice and very accommodating. My room had been incredibly cleaned and included some nice personal touches like snacks and drinks. The complimentary drink from the next door bar was also enjoyable I do have to comment on the nice interior design too - iss cute or whateva ;) Super close to a small convenience store and plenty of restaurants / bars. Basically, you should book here!

Boutique Hotel in Wilmington

Wonderful boutique hotel in the heart of Wilmington. Rooms are tastefully done and the grounds include a gorgeous courtyard Everything about this hotel is five star. Note however that it is a 3 story hotel without an elevator so those with any issues using stairs or if carrying heavy luggage should be advised to contact the hotel to ensure a ground level room.

This was my second stay at Arrive! Friendly staff, beautiful grounds, and comfortable, hip rooms! Love the outdoor gazebo, bar, fire pits, and other sitting areas to gather in the cool evenings of spring! Can’t wait to go back!

Disliked: Cleanliness
A ridiculously expensive stay at what felt like a motel renovated to be hip. Our room was never cleaned. There was no closet, just a hip-height bar to hang pants from. I don’t think I have ever stayed in a hotel without a place to hang a dress… there was nowhere to put anything. The finishes were starting to peel throughout the room. The walls were paper thin. Like others, we had to request refunds for charges that were not ours after checking out. The hotel grounds were cute, and the location was nice, but the price tag did not remotely match the experience. Housekeeping was weirdly standoffish. A very strange stay!

Perfect if there was a lift

Great property. Super close to everything in downtown Wilmington. Only downside is there is no elevator, and the quietest rooms are on the top floor. Be forewarned if you have bas knees.

I had a great stay. The property was beautiful and clean. Unfortunately, I requested my room to be cleaned only one day during my 4-night stay and it was never done. I was also woken up multiple times throughout the night/early morning a couple of nights to loud noises above me.
