Room was nicely decorated. The property is an older renovated building. You could hear every step on the floors above, every flush of the toilet, and every drip of water from all the showers and sinks above.
On the upside - everything else, fire pits in the courtyard made for a friendly environment. Great restaurant onsite, Dram Yard.
The room was clean and the vibes were high! We loved the firepits at night and the close walking espresso bar a block away! the valet was awesome to not have to worry with our car.
Advertised as a resort hotel. It is not. There are no amenities unless you like corn hole and rocking chairs. No elevator and the restaurant was closed for diner both days we stayed. Great location and a decent motel. Front desk made up for our disappoint they were great.

Beautiful property! Sadly it rained while during our stay so we weren't able to enjoy the lovely outdoor area. Room was very nice and clean.
Staff was friendly and check in/out went smoothly. AC was locked and couldn’t get down to my preferred temp at night. They charged a $50+ fee automatically for discounts at their restaurant and gazebo bar, but neither was open during my visit. Self-parking is $15/night.
Nice room and comfortable bed. Great location with a lot of great places to visit within blocks.

Courtyard and fire pits were incredible. Room was clean and bed was comfortable. Wish the room had a coffee maker but other than that we loved everything.
Room was great. We had lived in Wilmington and fire pits.area for 28 years and never realized there was a place like ARRIVE in downtown area. It was like a mini resort with the outside area and fire pits.
