This place is spectacular! Over three acres to play, lots of play features and water play. The folks policing the dogs were attentive and they made me feel like my dogs were in a safe place. The space was clean, packed full of features, and the dogs were well behaved. My only suggestion is that the dog menu have a sampler trio option. Five stars for sure!

Love this dog park! Plenty of shade, an agility course, a stick library for the pups and even a doggie pool. We are traveling 1,100 miles and this has been our favorite stop so far.

When we checked in they said they were out of welcome treat bags for dogs then never got us one. It was one of the perks they advertised that wasn’t available. Glad that they allow dogs and are in a prime location. We have brought our dog with us pretty much everywhere in Wilmington, including restaurants. Since this is a dog friendly hotel we brought her to breakfast (it was a Monday and there was only one other person in the dining area). We were told only service dogs were allowed. The grassy potty area was a postage stamp sized Astro turf area with smeared poo on it. Was disappointed no grassy area for bathroom breaks. Breakfast was mediocre, limited selection and coffee didn’t taste good. The gym only had one 10 pound weight then 30, 40, and 50 pound weights.

We sat on the peaceful back patio with our pup. The hostess spoiled her with a doggy bowl of ice water and the server brought her a duck liver pate dog biscuit.

The market has lots of local foods, fresh produce, and ice cream. There are some benches outside but I couldn’t bring my dog inside and there wasn’t really much for my dog to do here.

There are many winding paths, little bridges, resting spots, and all kinds of things for my pup to sniff. We spent our afternoon here and had a great time. I also got some frame-worthy photos of my pup with the beautiful flowers and plants all around us.

There are two nice sized grassy areas with poop stations for your dog. It was so nice to have a spot to walk the dog away from traffic and distractions to do her business. Our room was clean and seemed either new or recently remodeled. Breakfast was fantastic with lots of options and waffle machines. The workout room has a Peleton bike, elliptical, weights and medicine balls. My only complaint is that other Hampton Inns like the one in Pleasant View, TN (30 min away) spoiled us and had doggy welcome bags, dog/cat treats and a water bowl at the front desk but this location didn’t have any of that. Front desk staff seemed annoyed by our presence or busy on their phones. They didn’t even bother to give us our keys at check-in until we asked to get into our room. On the other hand, the breakfast staff was super friendly and worked hard to refill food stations. I was even offered help to carry my food to my table!

Oversized, new, clean rooms with comfy beds. Breakfast options were really impressive—so many options and they had waffle makers. They have a grassy area to take my pup along with poop stations. There is a fabulous 11-acre dog park nearby with a diving pond, separate fenced areas for reactive dogs and areas for small, and large dogs. Also, a sand area for dogs to dig.

Our room was dirty with food crumbs and white crusty stuff on the carpet. Holes and tears in the carpet and stains on the chair and lampshades. I asked for a new room and we were moved to a cleaner room. Breakfast options were limited. I’m used to my dog being spoiled at the Hampton Inn where they greet us with a welcome treat bag but there was nothing like that at this hotel. There was a grassy area I could take my dog to do her business.
