Hotel Du Pont
The staff and room service food were excellent. The amenities (private car service, valet, room service) were excellent. The room itself was not what we expected for $800.

Residence Inn by Marriott Wilmington Downtown
The room was good. I didn’t use the kitchen except for the coffee maker which could have used more creamer. Parking isn’t too impressive and I think should be free for guests. The breakfast was not very good and I think you shouldn’t use plastic juice cups or utensils. Just the waffles were OK
