Baymont by Wyndham Wilmington

8/10 Good

"First off I had to go because my daughter was in hospital. That being said: when we finally got to the room at 1030 friday night only lights that worked were the bathroom lights. We were so tired we didn't care. Before the trip to hospital saturday we told them and was told it would be fixed in about 20 minutes, but when we got back still no lights. When I told staff AGAIN it was fixed in a few minutes. The room was extremely clean. There was not a lot of noise. Beds little hard. All in all it worked for a weekend family medical emergency. For me it would not work for extended stay."
