Disappointed; but potential is there.

I checked in early as a Choice member for a 5-day stay on the ground floor and was thrilled with the front desk staff. Breakfast was great all 5 days too. But that’s where the positives ended. I’ve stayed here before, never on the ground floor, and requested “wherever the WiFi works best” since it’s spotty at sub-4-star hotels. It wasn’t up to 2025 standards—video quality dropped to 480p to avoid stuttering, and it often disconnected, requiring the guest WiFi password (actually the RouterOS username). Entering the room, I found a coffee stain on a comforter—I don’t drink coffee. Hooking a laptop to the TV for Netflix, I had to reprogram the universal remote (not the TV’s brand) to use the “INPUT” button since the TV had no controls but power. The desk chair was assembled backward—leaning forward dumped me out instead of reclining back. Four screws could fix it, but I’m a guest, not maintenance. On the ground floor, noise from guests and slamming doors (unadjusted, echoing without carpet) was amplified. Cigarette smoke from the side door and occasional marijuana smells flooded the hallway and rooms. A constant ticking in the bathroom wall—maybe plumbing or electrical—persisted even with the fan and light off. With outdated popcorn walls, this hotel needs updates. I paid too much and won’t stay on the ground floor again.
Coffee stain immediately after checking in.

Clean, spacious and best staff in Wilmington!

I stay here all the time and I can tell you this, you will be hard pressed to find hotel staff as courteous, kind and helpful as the staff of the Comfort Inn. The rooms are big enough and they have always been clean. I always book with hotels.com and if this hotel is available it's my very first choice. I've stayed here at least 15 times in the last couple years and I've never been disappointed.

Service provided by staff was excellent

Staff was friendly & professional. One elevator was out of service which made access to room much slower. Our keycards had to be reset each day that we were there, so that combined with a slow elevator wasn’t great. And lastly, our television remote didn’t work in the room and had to be replaced. Overall though, we would give this place another chance because the staff was very helpful in resolving any issues. Also, the hotel was very clean and the breakfast was solid.
