The Front Street Inn

First the good points - really cool renovated building, exposed brick, high ceilings, tasteful decor. And it's clean. The only staff we encountered is the young man managing the parking lot, but text instructions on how to enter our room with a code were easy to follow. Disappointed that we had to circle the block 3 times trying to figure out where to park because the parking lot was roped off without any signage to say " hotel guests stop and ask the attendant to let you in!". We had to park in a private home parking lot and walk to the hotel to ask where we park for the hotel. Having a kitchenette in the room is great but there weren't any dishes or cutlery available, not even a spoon to stir coffee in the paper cup provided with the Keurig. No one is on hand to answer questions or provide an extra coffee pod, or whatever you may need as a guest, except for the parking attendant who was very sweet, but obviously limited in his ability to help guests. The hotel seems like an afterthought to the adjacent espresso bar to be honest. Which is a shame because they've clearly put a lot of thought into the renovations and decor, and the location is excellent, a block from the Riverwalk.

We booked a room at the Front Street Inn for 1 night when coming to Wilmington to visit a friend. It's a nice boutique Inn in a very convenient location. We stayed in the Amsterdam room which was very nice and comfortable. The location is close to everything you may need within easy walking distance. The Concorde Coffee Shop is located in the hotel which makes morning drinks easy to obtain without leaving the Inn. You get a discount on coffee if you are a guest at the Inn. Overall, a great experience. This will be out go to place to stay next time we visit Wilmington.

House was super clean and lovingly restored. Perfect location and neighborhood. Breakfast was delightful. Staff was friendly and welcoming. We slept well on a nice mattress. Room was clean and charming. Hope to come again soon, while attending concerts in Wilson Center.
