When spending the extra money on a riverview suite, be sure to ask them if it's a full or partial view. I was switched from my double queen to a single king and the riverview I paid extra for was barely visible. 90% of my "view" was the parking lot and building beside the property. The happy hour was mediocre with crackers, cheese, salsa, and tortilla chips. There was also a bowl of trail mix. There was limited seating so I ended up standing along the wall to eat. The breakfast was pretty much what you would expect from any major brand hotel offering a 'hot breakfast". Eggs, bacon, cereal, bagels... the norm. They did have a made-to-order omelette station which is typical for Embassy Suites. With the hotel being in such a nice area, I expected more as I have visited mulitple Embassy Suites across the country. This one was just ok.

We have now had several occasions to stay at this property. Besides being centrally located in the vibrant heart of the riverfront area it is, in and of itself, a quality hotel of the first order, with a helpful staff and great amenities. Very close to just about anything you might like to see and do in Wilmington or, on a rainy day, very much a destination in itself, including a quite nice restaurant. Highly recommended.
