Staybridge Suites Wilmington-Newark, an IHG Hotel

The hotel is old but we got a great room! It was a two bedroom suite and perfect for our family of 4 adults and a small dog. The location is good. Close to food and shopping. There's an Acme and Walgreens right across the street. The only bad thing is it's right near a toll so we paid the toll several times going back and forth for activities. There's probably a way around it but I didn't take the time to figure it out.

The property and staff were very friendly and accommodating. Convenient location. We were on the 1st floor and it was a little noisy at times because people were outside smoking -but- other than that a great place to stay!

We got a room with a kitchen. Wish that it was a little bigger than it was, but we made due. Dishware, cookware, u the utensils, etc was supplied. Our room didn't have a table with chairs so that was a bit of a bummer, but only the big suites do. Pull out couch was small, but my kids' were able to sleep on it. My husband and I slept on the Queen bed It was too uncomfortable for me as I could feel the springs in my back, so I had to sleep above the bedding. Breakfast served daily was free, some tasted great, some not so much, in my opinion. Mon-Wed evening, they have a social with dinner, so we did that a couple of nights. Love that they accept ESA animals so the pet fees were waived. The staff were very friendly. We didn't get to use the pool due to the water being green. We also didn't take advantage of the outdoor grills or fire pit, so I can't say about those. Overall was a great stay. Oh yea, one little minus was that the fridge kept making a loud noise, and it took a bit for the maintenance man to be notified but when he was, he came up to check it and stated that it was the fan motor. He sprayed it temporarily and ordered a new one, so as soon as It came in, he came up and fixed it so no more loud noises at night.
