An Award-Winning Hotel & Wedding Venue

On our way from Virginia to New York last week, we decided to get a head start on Memorial weekend traffic and stay ½ way close to Wilmington Delaware and as a Hilton Gold member chose the Christiana Hotel close to 95. I have stayed at Properties managed by MJH and reached out to the GM to request a nice room blocked for late arrival. After a few tries and then marketing arm of the Property that responds to reviews and MJH, I heard back from GM Wenger that he would hold a room in a quiet location. We arrived a little after 10:00 PM and could see it’s a large property that holds conferences. We checked in with the evening front desk supervisor and 3 tips for my fellow travelers. First ask for the closest elevator to your room. We walked and walked until a kind employee showed us which elevator to use and then I found a bank of elevators that took us right down to the parking lot. Second although the website asks you to choose between points or a continental breakfast, you are given $15 each for a breakfast buffet which costs approx. $19. And third ask if an upgrade is available based on your status. I assumed because most Hiltons provide w/o asking but on checking in the room was exactly as the website. Overlooking the pool, nice room but not an upgrade. During the week I have similar status with Marriott and Hyatt and both provided upgrades. So too did the Home 2 Suites also branded by Hilton. Parking was easy around the building and we food a space near a light. The next morning we went to breakfast and decent for the price. The omelet bar was the signature part of an otherwise small buffet (no bacon, potatoes and turkey sausages rather than pork or beef). Check-out was easy with an e-bill sent. Courteous staff in general. A decent stay but nothing out of the ordinary. I anticipate future trips and may stay again or try another .

Great place for conference.

It would be nice if they had coffee and hot water available 24/7 in the lobby. Other than that it's good enough

The entrance to the building was rather awkward. Some doors had the key lock and some didn't. Made it a bit tough getting in late at night or with luggage. Other than that, the hotel was fine.
