The gate agent was able to call them directly from my gate and let them know I'd be walking out. The driver was pulling up as I walked out so I did not have to wait at all. Smooth ride to the hotel. I was able to text to schedule my 3:45am pick up for the next morning. The driver in the morning arrived a few minutes early and again another smooth ride to the airport. The vans were clean and the drivers were great. It was so nice to get such good service in an otherwise kind of stressful situation of being stranded. Would recommend.

It felt really safe riding with her, no sudden stops or sharp turns. I was in a wheel chair so her safe driving practices were very important to me. Valerie made sure that I was strapped in. The PLUS in the name really says it all. This transport service is unique due to its personalized service approach. I highly recommend GPTP for anyone looking for a limousine type ride without the added cost,

For whatever reason, that particular resident's cell phone wasn't working. Offered to take her number if I could get a hold of that resident to give it to her. When I reported that I couldn't reach her, Valerie stooped to blaming me for wasting her time. She also suggested (condescendingly) that I make an emergency announcement to ask this resident to call her before you she hung up on me. If I make an emergency announcement, every single resident hears it - let alone doing it at 9:30 in the morning. We're not a Walmart, I'm not going to use our intercoms and wake up all of our residents for your failing one-star transportation business.

The Brew Bus goal: to venture and promote local Wilmington breweries and teach beer drinkers (novice or well learned) the history and flavor profile of the beer staples. They offer open tours for booking online or private tours by pre-booking. The private tours can accommodate up to 14 people and they will customize to your desires. You can also bring your choice of food onto the bus for your party. The pros: -a wide variety of tastings both on the bus and at breweries -- meaning non beer lovers can actually find stuff they enjoy! -funny and knowledgeable tour guides. These guys make being a beer geek look totally freakin awesome -they know the owners of the breweries and their stories which gives you some insight to their brewing process and flavor passions Tips: They don't have food, so eat or bring some snackies! Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to explore Wilmington and discover their beer preferences.

Fast forward six months, and I just dismounted from my first trip on the Trolley Pub... This, my friends, is something you all have to experience! If you're visiting or a resident of Wilmington and like to have FUN, ditch the ho-hum Aquarium and do something you'll be talking about tor days! I noticed there's a lot reviews here that talk about Jeff, and what a great Trolley Pub guide he is. Well, there's a reason he's mentioned in reviews often. He set the stage for the great time we all had, and pulled a command performance as tour guide for beer drinkers. "You are going to have fun, and there's no going back now," says Jeff when boarding the Trolley Pub. And was that the truth!

TIPS: -It is $16 per adult CASH only or VENMO as of 12/2023. Pay driver at the end of the tour. If you grab a brochure/flyer advertisement at the hotels it has a $1 off per Adult fare COUPON. Be sure to TIP the driver (before the discount) & the company so they can save more horses. -Get there 15mins before posted return time because there's a seating capacity 20-25 people. -When the horses get back they need a 15min break so you have to wait for that, but be sure to get onboard & pick your seat while waiting out the 15mins after the horses get back and wait on the carriage. Driver does take lunch so be aware of that (not sure when that is 12pm or 1pm) -Really the tours start 15mins after what the clock sign says -Tour is about 1/2hr. There's only one carriage.

Friendly and helpful staff with good customer service. A good find! The Deets: In a recent trip down to Wilmington's riverfront area, I tried out the rather new Hampton Inn Wilmington Downtown for my first night there. This property is a couple blocks back up from the actual riverfront but in close walking distance not only to the riverfront/Riverwalk but to all the businesses along the Front St/Market St area. Right off the bat, the desk staff was friendly, positive, helpful in check in and well as check out, shout out to Stephen for great customer service! The lobby/business center/breakfast center was nice, well maintained, and spacious. The room itself was nice with ample space, clean, and comfortable. I enjoyed my overnight stay here. The Hampton Inn included breakfast was just as expected, those little cheese omelets and sausage are not gourmet but did what was needed until going out for brunch later on in the day, with the breakfast staff nice and welcoming while they went about their business. In all, I find this Hampton Inn one of the best hotels I've experienced in the riverfront Wilmington area and would definitely be up for staying their again in the future.

I have traveled for work for over 15 years and I might as well stay at a best western or motel 6 if this is these are the conditions I have to pay for Jessyca and Jeane' were great. Both had exceptional personalities, great customer care, attentive, and just a pleasure to speak with. Too bad the hotel rooms dont reflect their "shine". Also, i'd like to bring attention to the Valet person (in the mornings). I do not remember his name, but he was a pleasure as well. Smiling face, warm greetings, remembers your face and offers local suggestions and advice; just a good guy to take care of your vehicle and help enjoy your trip. Lets talk Rooms; 223 to be exact. NObody, should ever stay in this room. For starters, you dont need a key as you can use the "dont disturb" placard on door handle to break in. The door latch works but the door LOCK doesnt. This door has already been broken into, as is apparent by it's appearance. Hotel maintenance is a joke nation wide, but this takes the cake. I've seen better at Holiday Inn Express'. As you open the door, the stale stench of cigarettes greets you, mixed with a vintage neutralizer smell. Ah yes, the luxuries at Hilton. The bathroom door is a "barn door" style (most reduculous addition to ANY hotel) which does not close because of a screw that the hanger comes into contact with. So, privacy is lost, but then again privacy is always lost with these silly doors (ready for this fad to disappear) that never seat close enough to the wall and surely never extend past the opening far enough. Next, I blindly sat some items on the nightstand. As my fingers released and my head turned to look towards the window, my ears were sang a song of everything breakdancing on the floor. I didn't spend anytime figuring out the degree of "slope" on the nightstand, but it doesnt sit at a 90° . In my pictures, the book is flush with the wall. Being me, I thought "lets see if we can fix this or at least remedy it a little bit. Behind me at this point is the corner chase lounge. I nudge the lounge over in an attempt to create some space and...... it falls over . Apparently house keeping or maintenance figured "just propping the 2 broken feet under would be suffice". Not a single screw "or care" were found . Now, this leads our story to the window blinds. As with most rooms they are partially down. Grabbing the chain and giving a gentle yet firm tug, nothing. Maybe I grabbed the wrong chain, so I grab the 2nd chain, pull, and nothing. Glancing up i determine either chain should be causing something to happen. I regrip the chain and pull with angst and finally, it gives. Looking down to reposition my feet i see the A/C units power supply tucked behind the baseboard; another great motel vibe. We'll jump into the next morning for breakfast. As a recovering Cancer patient I was actually "eggcited" for hotel eggs since "eggs" have been the only thing i'd been able to stomach throughout my treatments and process after. Welp, not today. The "top burnt quiche" that was sitting in egg water just didnt do it for me. Neither did the full pan of gray sausage links. Lastly, the tray of potatoes came in for the win. 1 scoop of potatoes and a bowl of oatmeal (that I brought). Hilton is still using "Quaker Oats" which has the highest levels of Glyphosate in their final oat/wheat products which probably also include their cereals. The Juice machine had 3 of 4 nozzles working which, also at this point, feels glorious. I dont recall the fruit situation, I just know I didn't leave with any. After a great time strolling through downtown Wilmington, next time we'll give Embassy Suites a go before switching to Marriots. Shameful when you think about it, how mundane and ran down Hiltons have become.
