While Comfort Inn University in Wilmington, NC was a convenient location to everything, the hotel itself was very poor. The facility was dirty and unkept. The furniture in the room was dirty and had spills all over the place. The room microwave had not been cleaned. Food was splattered all over the inside. The bathroom was semi-clean but had missing racks. The room floors were wet and moldy and we could hear sounds and noises from the room next to us into the early morning. Breakfast was subpar and the toaster was broken.

The first night of my stay, someone was banging and shouting expletives on the door next to us. Started about 1 in the morning and lasted for hours. We called the front desk and Jonathan said he knew who it was and gave him a key. He obviously was not able to get in because the banging continued. We had just driven almost 800 miles that day and needed a good nights sleep. I was given a very small credit which, in my opinion, was not sufficient.

Noisy Neighbors

The bar next door played incredibly loud music until midnight Thursday-Saturday. After complaining several times and two nights of no sleep, we asked to move to the other side of the hall. If you stay there on a weekend, ask for an odd numbered room!

We had a wonderful stay! The staff was wonderful as well as the food and room! We had to switch hotels after a long day. Arriving at 11pm, our room was clean and comfortable. We will likely look to stay here again when we come back to Wilmington!
