    We have stayed at the Terry House many times but this was the first time since the new owners took over. Simply amazing! The hospitality and the beautiful rooms were exceptional. We cannot wait to go back time and again to watch the progress.

    The Magnolia Room, our favorite.
    Steven Jon K.

    I have always been delighted with the Terry House for two decades, with my favorite room being the Magnolia Room on the second floor with a view of the main street. This is an excellent and surprisingly quiet place to watch the folks of New Castle going about their daily business along with some tourists. Sue serves a delicious homemade breakfast each morning and helps you to catch up with the latest local gossip. Ms. Deemer is still around at the age of 99 and is amazingly sharp. In some ways it feels like a trip back in time although you are always in the present with excellent modern wi-fi. This house is conveniently located in the center of town within a few blocks of everything. I plan to keep returning here.

    The location is a true old colonial waterfront town - and Jessop's Tavern - VG & reasonable $$ fare - is a 1/4 block walk.

The breakfast buffet was good, but at $22.95 is a bit expensive. They let you put your own cheese on the eggs which is fun. I've never seen that before. I like a lot of cheese and they never put enough cheese on but I did! Because I like cheese. One of the elevators was down, but you can easily use another one in a different place to get to your room, no problem. Parking is $10/night which is annoying, make sure to pick up your permit at the front desk. There's a huge, spacious lot, there's no reason to charge $10/night to park. If parking were free, this would be five stars since everything else was wonderful. But it's not so it's four stars. Still good.

    I spent this weekend hitting Diamond status at two very different properties. First, a shoutout to…read morethe Tru by Hilton Ashburn. Regardless of status, they treat guests like gold. The service is awesome, there's zero "nickel and diming," and we even received a lovely welcome basket. Truly a seamless experience. Unfortunately, the Hilton Christiana was a massive disappointment. We've stayed here for years, but under GM Brad Wenger, the culture has shifted toward extreme nickel-and-diming. Despite being Diamond members on a paid stay, we were charged an early arrival fee (for getting there just 30 minutes early) and a parking fee. To make matters worse, we gave up our confirmed Executive Queen room to get in early, and the room they gave us was subpar: right next to a noisy elevator, a broken shower, and no tissues. It's clear management is prioritizing fees over loyalty. Save your money and stick with the Tru.

    This was hands down one of the most disappointing hotel stays I've ever experienced. We had barely…read morewalked in, and I was already counting down the minutes until I could leave and write this review. The staff were shockingly rude--especially the woman with red hair in the cafeteria, who seemed irritated by the mere existence of guests, snapping at people like we were a burden rather than paying customers. And the room? Absolutely unbelievable--in the worst way. It was so dirty it felt like it hadn't been cleaned in weeks. I had to drape sheets over the couches just to sit down without feeling gross, thanks to visible stains, what looked like layers of grime, and an alarming amount of dog hair--despite specifically booking a hypoallergenic room. The kitchen was practically useless, with barely any equipment to prepare even a simple meal, and to top it off, the coffee machine didn't even work. The bathroom sink was clogged and emitted a strong rotten egg smell that filled the room--it was impossible to ignore, even when trying to sleep. We're supposed to stay here for a few more days, but honestly, it feels like a nightmare I can't wake up from. I've never been so eager to check out of a place in my life.

    This Homewood Suites was our first destination that I could rest and stay for a couple of days. On…read morethe way to Delaware, I got on the Hilton app and asked if they could upgrade me. 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.

    Fantastic hotel in location!…read more I was pleasantly greeted upon walking in this scentfully welcoming lobby by Stevie. He was bright eyed, bushy tailed and excited to assist. He checked us in quickly as well as gave me fantastic restaurants ideas for dinner. We went to our room and I was overjoyed with the décor in space given. I loved everything about our room so much so that I didn't even wanna leave back out. Everything went well, perfect temperature, clean, and visually attractive. There was plenty of parking, on site business center, indoor pool and jacuzzi, outdoor courtyard and indoor bistro that served breakfast and dinner. The one and only gripe I have about this place is the ceiling in my bathroom (Room 232). We had the most comfortable shower head but right above the shower head, the ceiling looked like it had a recent repair any wasn't smoothed out properly so you could actually see where the damage was to the ceiling in the poor patch up job. Despite my one and only gripe, I'd definitely stay at this hotel in the future making a my 1st choice!!

When I…read morechecked in the clerk was quite attentive and professional... however the morning crew seemed a bit excessive,since I assume it would be busier in the afternoons when people are checking in compared to mornings when they're only checking out. The rooms are on the outside rather than all on the inside like some locations. While that could be good in that you don't hear kids running down the halls or the smell of weed or late parties in the rooms...a big downside is that loud vehicles were coming and going all night, which obviously made sleep more difficult.

The suites and skyway are the pictures they are showing. What they don't show you is the dive, the picture attached below. We got two rooms that were supposed to be adjoining and they weren't. Our room is clean but the second room while it is a non smoking room stinks to high heaven as the maid was smoking as she was cleaning. We did complain, we shouldn't be charged for the cleaning fee. With the exception to our second room, the room we stayed in was clean. Beds were odd, you could feel the springs in one but not the other almost frumpy. There is a funky smell, maybe change the carpet. The shower on the other hand was seriously one of the best I used in hotels. I think the room was either designed for or by little people. I am 5 ft 10 inches and everything is at or below my thigh, very strange.
