We had to walk in the rain to sister property for breakfast as B&B inn restaurant was not yet open. Absurd considering the price of the stay

Exquisite Gem of an Inn in Wilmington
What a gorgeous boutique hotel! This restored mansion is being renovated in both exquisite and attention to detail. Everything from the mattresses (Nectar) to small amenities like the spa-like towels, Moulton Brown shampoos and soaps, luxury bedding and spacious rooms all work for the comfort of the guest. They are going through some construction right now installing a restaurant and speakeasy pub. And rates are a little lower than they will be in the future. Take advantage of it and just go. You won't be disappointed. We stayed in both the Magnolia and Monarch rooms which were both wonderful.. (We had only booked one night and decided to extend to stay but had to move to the other room.) Staff was extremely attentive and helpful. After 8:00 p.m. there's self-check in.(managed through emails where they give you the code to the property in your room) but in the future there will be 24/7 on-site staff. I look forward to returning one day. This is one of the loveliest B& B's I've ever stayed in.

Was granted a late checkout of 200 pm and then on location they denied it and kicked us out at 100 pm. So they didn't keep their word. I was competing in an ironman and needed that time. Then my car was vandalized out front of their hotel. Very expensive expected better. They take about 5 minutes to answer the door as you wait outside liek a salesman even though you are giving them 4 bills per room. Plus I didnt get to have the dinner because they are remodeling and have no kitchen. Not doing that again.

This is a truly lovely inn perfectly located for enjoying the Wilmington waterfront areas because it is only several blocks away from wonderful food, breweries, the riverwalk and art studios/shopping. We loved walking everywhere. The inn is under new ownership and will be undergoing extensive updating, but the staff and managers there were wonderful in making our stay most comfortable and enjoyable! We will for sure return again and again as I cannot imagine a more lovely spot for a relaxing extended weekend!

We absolutely loved our stay August 2021! From the minute Dale let us in through the majestic front door with his wonderful Southern hospitality! The property is beautiful and well maintained throughout. Our room was meticulously clean and comfortable. The common areas were charming and well appointed with Colonial furnishings. Our breakfast was delicious and our compliments to the chefs! Damien took extra care to ensure everything was perfect throughout the morning! We loved every minute of our stay and look forward to making this an annual event.

Our stay at Greystone was extraordinarily charming, romantic and relaxing. The owners and staff were exceedingly helpful with the facilities but also great local recommendations for food and things to do. The breakfasts were Southern classics served with kindness and attentiveness, and the Inn itself is filled with beautiful history and design. Highly recommended stay, especially for couples of all ages looking for a romantic getaway.

This ol' girl has some age on her, but what a treat it was to stay here. It's recently under new ownership and it is evident they are committed to providing a great experience for the guests. ENTIRE staff was absolutely amazing and made sure we had everything we needed and more. Felt like we were leaving friends when we checked out. And bonus, the morning breakfasts were fantastic. Will definitely stay here again.

The house is beautiful. Staff were all super friendly and helpful. There are no refrigerators or freezers in the rooms and the TV situation is weak. The choices for breakfast were decent. It would be cool if there was always a waffle or pancake option for people who aren't very adventurous with breakfast food.

This is a beautiful property. The service was friendly and helpful. It is walking distance from waterfront. Parking was fine. You just have to park somewhere on the street out front (not the side street). The only downside is that the wifi only really works on the first floor. It's a little pricey but a nice stay.

I remembered this place when I was a child as opulent and elegant, but it seems to have fallen on hard times. The yard is as weedy and neglected as the house. The downstairs is really beautiful, but the rooms are in need of serious renovation and they need to establish a clear system to contact staff after hours in an emergency. We didn’t find out until after we booked that 1) we would be charged a cancellation fee by the hotel regardless of notice and 2) we MUST check in by 7pm or we would be unable to check in at all. We also discovered when our toilet broke at 7:30 that there was no one at the desk or manning the phones after 7 either. Fortunately, they responded quickly to an Expedia check in report and moved us. The original room had dirty carpets and an ancient mattress. The new room was cleaner, much more comfortable, and less a hodgepodge of chipped and frayed accessories. The claw foot tubs are fantastic and I hope they keep those although a step stool into them and grab bar would have been nice as they are a steep climb in a wet area. Everyone was very nice and to be clear they did move us quickly and with apologies, but it was not fun to try and fix a hotel toilet on vacation, the whole place needed a good cleaning, and it wasn’t clear how to get help when we needed it. They need to drop the rates until they can properly renovate and clean.

The facility and breakfast were amazing! The owners were wonderful and gracious! The other gentleman that works there, however, is far from personable and we found to be incredibly rude. I would stay there again if I knew I didn't have to interact with him - but otherwise it was quite lovely and fabulously clean. The claw-foot tub was beautiful in the bathroom (but hard to get in & out of - be aware).

Hotel was generally clean, but we were put on the third floor below the eaves(no elevator), carpet was threadbare and stained, had only two flat pillows on the bed and no extra ones. We felt like the poor relations, or maybe in the servants quarters. Liked the bathroom, which was almost as big as the room. Breakfast was very nice, but did not outweigh the uncomfortable room. Will try somewhere else next time we are in Wilmington.
