    The king bed with a luxury bedding
    Jessica H.

    A great renovated old hotel. We were "upgraded" to a deluxe king but on the backside so we saw the HVAC system out our window. The bed was comfortable. Getting the TV to work well was an issue and we had to use the Google cast from our phone feature. Great place to stay if you booked a show at the playhouse attached; you don't have to go outside! There is a food court inside down a hall as well as an attached restaurant

    My sister in law got married here on 12/28/24. It is a beautiful place and perfect for a wedding or any kind of celebration. My husband and I loved our room, especially the giant bathroom. Huge shower stall and a nice big tub. The ceremony was decorated beautifully and the reception room was absolutely breathtaking. The food and drinks were delicious. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The hotel was still decorated for Christmas and the decor was beautiful. Everyone loved the tree in the lobby and took advantage of taking lots of pictures in front of it. Everyone had a great weekend!

    We didn't stay here, but we did visit the space because we love historic venues and this hotel is full of great stories! The bar was fantastic and the staff here was friendly and willing to tell us about the history.

    Need a piece of history? Feel like walking through a museum that you can spend the night in? Look no further Hotel Du Pont is your place! Greeted by a stunning lobby, ballroom and restaurant incredible preserved. Read the history of the hotel and then take a second look of the spaces and you see things in a different light. Enjoy!

    I have such mixed feelings about this amazing historic hotel. On the one hand, she's such a classy old lady who has been holding her own for 100 years or so. On the other hand (as with any hotel) there is good staff and not-so-good staff. One front desk person is wearing a suit and tie and has a professional demeanor, the other a track suit, and far less professional demeanor. Evening valet guy was lovely and patient. A.M. valet guy...not so much. Bar staff was awesome and accommodating. It was Valentine's weekend and, unless you had a res, you were SOL, but they were willing to serve you a bev out in the lobby despite being fully booked and clearly running their butts off. When I got to my room after check in, I noticed water damage on the ceiling - and not just a little - then I noticed the full on dripping leak in progress. Called the front desk, and some guy answered with 'Oh, ok, let me see if I can find you another room on the same floor and I'll bring you a key.' [Awesome!] Then 30 minutes went by and when I called back to follow up the same kid answered with a patronizing 'Yeah, look, we're really busy so you're just going to have to wait unless you want to come get the keys.' [Wanker!] So I did exactly that, and was met with the same 'tude. (To be clear, this was *not* the same gentleman who checked me in - looked more like head valet for the evening?) Off-putting, and not what this hotel deserves. She is a grand dame, and deserves better representation, even when they are short staffed and all hands on deck. Find better hands! Still glad I got to see her though. No regrets.

    Beautiful jewel in the heart of Wilmington, clean environment, customer service depends on who you are dealing with.

    Having our daughters wedding at the Hotel Dupont was the best decision we could have made. The DuPont is old world classic hotel that is not replicated anywhere else in Delaware. The event spaces were iconic. Each of the event venues presented their own personality and charm. We had a welcome party, ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, after party and a brunch utilizing four unique spaces. The staff at the hotel especially Sandra could not have been more accommodating and professional. At every turn the staff was available to help in anyway they could. The food at every event was raved about from all of our guests. Jamie Christinzio, Director of Events, was my "guiding" angel. Jamie led me through every step with such ease, and her suggestions were always spot on. As far as I am concerned if you want a truly magnificent and memorable wedding, there is no other place than the Hotel DuPont. the magnificent floral arrangements were created by Fernandfeme.com, and the fabulous music was performed by The Jack Faulkner orchestra. WE WISH WE COULD DO IT AGAIN!

The AC is great and allows you to set it to 60 degrees. Shower pressure is a little weak, but the water gets HOT and the bathroom fan actually works to help remove the warm air. The shower toiletries are heavily scented. The window shade exposes around an inch of window on the sides, so it's not ideal if your room faces the parking lot since it lets light in from the parking lot. The attached photo of the window shade was taken at night. The included breakfast was standard. There were coffee, meats, eggs, potatoes, yogurt, fruit, cereal, and some bread. The breakfast and seating area were clean and spacious. Breakfast is served Monday-Friday 6:30am-9:30am, and Saturday/Sunday 7:00am-10:00am. There are ice machines on the second and fourth floor, and on the main floor there is a water bottle refill machine. There are bikes that you can borrow as well. There is a small bar, and a small convenience corner where you can purchase travel essentials along with beverages and snacks.

We stayed for a quick weekend getaway, and felt safe, welcome and cared for. Free breakfast was convenient and good quality, parking is free and room was quiet and well-maintained. Great location for waterfront, ballpark and downtown, easy access to highway. Downsides: parking after dinner could be tricky, blackout curtains not great. Great value, and would stay there again.

Someone answered and said that they could. When I arrived later that day, Jeannette checked me in and gave me a great room on a higher floor with a great view of the Christina River. Jeannette later told me that she had replied to my text. Our room was perfect. It had everything that we requested starting with a king bed. The room had a small kitchen area. There was plenty of desk space and a small sofa with a computer desk. The bathroom was adequate. The view from the room was great. It was nice that we could see a high school rowing race one morning from our room. Breakfast is served downstairs. They had a pretty good offering of breakfast items. They had the usual items like scrambled eggs, sausage and potatoes. One of the mornings they served a smoked chicken for smoked chicken burritos. It was different and good. Along with these breakfast items, they also had coffee and juices. The gym is located on the first floor. They had sanitizing wipes to clean the machines before and after using the machines. A large screen tv was there for watching. Ellipticals and treadmills are available for you to use. It was enough for a good workout. The Homewood was a good hotel for me. Both my wife and I liked it. If in this area again, we would stay here again.

The hotel rooms are well equipped with a sizable mini fridge and a microwave. Unfortunately, my room was a bit shoddy. The sink drain was stuck and didn't drain, the shower was a bit dirty and on the ceiling you can see paint peeling from water damage. I requested to have the sink drain inspected and fixed the same night I arrived, within 10 minutes or less a maintenance worker comes by to check on it and he said he would get it replaced and fixed the next day. When I came back the next day it wasn't fixed so I called again, and it was fixed later in that day. I do commend the hotel front desk for great customer service, I think it was the manager who called my room to check up if the sink has been fixed or not.

The cleaning staff was extremely helpful and the bistro afternoon workers were also excellent. The bed after a long trip was so comfortable. Things will be really improved. Once all renovations are done and rooms are consistent. The reason I didn't read a five is because it's not good when you call an 800 number and the information discussed on that call is not communicated to the actual hotel. I had requests that were resolved when I got on site but I thought when I called into the 800 number they would documenting my call for the front desk of the actual hotel. Marriott could begin with connecting or improving the communication process between the 800 number, the online application and the Front Desk of the actual hotel where you are staying - this would remove a lot of frustration and confusion from the customer/guest.
