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.
Arrive was lovely. The hotel itself was fun, with many special touches. The Dram Yard the restaurant on the property was pretentious and we were rudely turned away by a hostess. “We have an hour wait and you have no reservation, so…” we decided to walk to eat somewhere else to eat. All that said the Arrive staff
Was amazing .
This was one of the cutest properties I’ve ever stayed at. I typically like to change up places I stay, but I’d stay here next time for sure! The grounds are great! Beautifully done! Staff was superb!
This is a go to location!!! Bar, restaurant, near everything!!! Staff was amazing!!!! Perfect for our mini moon! You are going to want to stay here. I will see you soon!
Very nice, upscale stay in downtown Wilmington. We really liked being able to walk to the riverfront and attractions: they also have one of the best restaurants in downtown Wilmington.
