Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites University Wilmington (North Carolina)

My husband and I spent two nights here. Because of my Gold Member status, we were upgraded to a Jacuzzi Suite.

The Suite had two rooms. Upon entry is the living room. In the back is the bedroom with the Jacuzzi outside of the bathroom. It was a very comfortable and spacious room.

I decided one morning to check out their free Express Start Breakfast. There was a conference at the time and the hallway was crowded. The small dining room was too noisy so I just went back to my room. It wasn't worth it for some pastries and cereal.

I filled out a comment card before we left. I noted on there that the vent in our Suite was rattling and that the dining room was too small. I received a letter from the manager a few days later thanking me for my feedback. He corrected the vent problem and gave me a card for a free night after 3 more stays.

This hotel has a great location with easy access to downtown. There are a few restaurants in walking distance. It's a good choice if you want a nice, safe hotel within a reasonable price.
