Room was great. We had lived in Wilmington and fire pits.area for 28 years and never realized there was a place like ARRIVE in downtown area. It was like a mini resort with the outside area and fire pits.

Arrive was lovely. The hotel itself was fun, with many special touches. The Dram Yard the restaurant on the property was pretentious and we were rudely turned away by a hostess. “We have an hour wait and you have no reservation, so…” we decided to walk to eat somewhere else to eat. All that said the Arrive staff Was amazing .

Just okay. Somewhat disappointing. The room was cramped and there was no elevator. There was not enough body wash in the shower. Just thought it would be nicer. Again, just okay.
