Wilmington, Delaware: 17th-Century Colony with Famed American-Art Museum

Wilmington was first founded as a Swedish colony in 1638; naturally, it has no shortage of historical sites. A highlight among them is Fort Christina Park. Though the real ancient fort no longer stands, you can sail the Delaware River aboard a re-creation of the 139-foot Kalmar Nyckel, the settlers' ship that brought numerous Swedes to the area. This full-size vessel features ornate carvings, seven working cannons, and masts that rise up to 10 stories into the sky. The ship docks near the Wilmington Riverfront, which follows the Christina River. A stroll through this green thoroughfare takes you past myriad cultural institutions, waterfront cafés, and art-deco architecture.

But the city's most popular cultural center lies outside of downtown. The Delaware Art Museum is home to a vast collection of American art, including many by Edward Hopper, John Sloan, and Howard Pyle. Pyle is also credited with having started the Brandywine School at the end of the 19th century, a local organization that helped to usher in the golden age of American illustration.

Cold Showers Cold showers every morning, even after reporting this daily. This was a problem earlier this year when my group stayed there, yet it still hasn't been corrected. Found someone else's hair on the bathroom wall, but not enough to make a comforter out of to warm me up. F minus Seriously doubt the Hilton family would stay here.

Book elsewhere. You won't regret it. This was definitlely my worst hotel experience ever. I have to stay at conferences frequently, and I will be avoiding Hilton and any Hilton brands whenever possible. To be fair to this hotel, I'll start with the one positive: the line staff, for the most part, was very friendly. That leads me to believe it is more of a management problem (that extends beyond this one hotel), and - goodness - the problems run deep! So, here are my criticisms: (1) The room was disgusting. There was dust all over the table and furniture, and a mold-like smell everywhere. The floor had a blood-like stain in several spots going from the tv to the bathroom, as you can see in the pictures. (2) I paid extra for the executive floor, and - believe me - you're wasting your money if you decide to do the same. I don't believe there actually is any concierge service (when I tried, I was told I would be contacted later, and I never was). The executive lounge was hardly ever open (even during the advertised hours), and when it was it, was hardly ever stocked. It apparently doubled as the employee break room, because that was all I saw in there on the two occasions my card actually allowed me access to the room. (3) The heating and air unit was broken. When I arrived, the entire 9th floor was 80 degrees. When I tried using adjusting the AC unit, I saw why. The regulator appears to be broken. If you turn on "heat," it heats up regardless of the room temperature and continues to heat up regardless. Same for the cool setting. So you either get 80-plus degrees or 65-minus degrees. It was impossible to get the room at a comfortable temperature. (4) I only received one towel for an entire 4-night stay, and couldn't understand why. (5) The parking situation is terrible. If you plan to ever leave in your car to go out into the town, it will cost a pretty penny because every single time you leave, you're paying $11. (6) I ran into a woman who had an even worse experience than mine in the elevator. She had been assigned a room that was already booked, and walked into the room and encountered another woman on the toilet! (7) MOST IMPORTANTLY, I was with a crew that had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I had called early and spoken to someone (via the 1-800 number), and was given assurances about an accomodation. I asked at the front desk, and was told the manager would contact me about it. I never was. A once-in-a-lifetime experience was ruined, and I don't think I can forgive Hilton brands for that.

Brown water, no body wash The room was nice and spacious. However, when I turned the tub on the water was brown and it left dirt in the tub. I took a picture of what I could after the water cleared. You can see the dirt in the tub. It was too late to take the picture of the brown water coming out. I had to clean it out. Once it was clean and I can’t even say clean because all I could do was rinse out the tub. When I did take a shower there weren’t anymore body wash in the dispenser.
