Hotel staff was friendly. Pool had great hours, 5am-10pm, and checkout wasn't until noon. They have suites for larger families that are reasonably priced. The free breakfast was good. Great value for the price!
Excellent rooms. Breakfast was decent. Only gripe I have is that when we stayed at marriott they allowed juice to be given all day long but here the Juice machine was locked off once breakfast done. Small gripe but still. The room and bathroom was clean.
We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Wilmington-Newark and had a great experience. The location is excellent—right next to Christiana Mall, so shopping and dining options are just steps away. It’s also very convenient for getting around the area. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the included breakfast was a nice bonus. Overall, a great choice for both convenience and comfort—we’d definitely stay here again.
Wonderful stay just off of 95! Room was clean and fully working, jacuzzi suite was DEFINITELY a plus as you don't really see those anymore! Staff was friendly and helpful and all amenities were great, pool and fitness center were well kept and clean!
Great customer service, the front desk is very friendly. Nice hot tub too. Fitness center is a bit small but has all you need for yoga/cardio. They only put the cinnamon rolls out for one of the days I was there, but the breakfast was still pretty good overall.
Stayed here for just a night passing through. Cat at the front desk was super friendly and helpful! Rooms were clean, the sheets actually smelled amazing compared to most hotels. The free breakfast was great, coffee was as good as you can get for free coffee. No complaints! I would stay here again if I was passing through.
We spent one night here while exploring northern Delaware. The hotel was clean, and our room was spacious and quiet. The location made it easy to get around, which was a big plus. One of our favorite features was the coffee machine in the lobby—it grinds the beans and brews fresh coffee 24/7. A great perk! I just wish there had been a better selection of teas. Breakfast was pretty standard: eggs, sausages, muffins, and a few other basics. Nothing special, but it did the job and gave us a solid start to the day.
Had a really nice stay here. Was excited to find somewhere with a tub in the room. Tub was clean, filled fast and had no issues with the hot water. Room was also clean and spacious. Would stay here again.
This classic choice off I-95 and Highway 273 is 2.8 miles from the Christiana Mall and 4.1 miles from the Delaware Park Casino & Racetrack.
