Great location in a very cool part of town. The room was newly decorated beautifully and comfortable for its size Good facilities on site and heaps of walkable options. Air con works well Only warning many rooms are up lots of stairs and there is no elevator or help if you have heavy bags which is why we chose the ground floor for a one night stay before a flight out.

The hotel is clean and beautiful, and the location is ideal in the downtown a few minutes by foot from the riverfront. The type of service is mostly self service if you don’t mind that. If you need new towels the next day or bins changed then you need to arrange it yourself and follow through with it yourself. The staff are all very nice and it has an eco hotel vibe, where they leave you to your own devices. The Gazebo bar is great for bespoke cocktails.

This was the second time staying at Arrive. We enjoyed our stay. They have nice sitting areas around the nicely landscaped property. We played cornhole and sat in the Andirondack chairs and played cards. They have a cute little bar, and the drinks were very good. It is conveniently located and within walking distance to many fun spots throughout Wilmington. We had breakfast in their restaurant. It was quite good.
