Top South Wilmington Hotel Reviews

Sonesta Select Newark Christiana Mall

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, modern, and spacious room!"

Fairfield Inn by Marriott Philadelphia Airport

8/10 Good

"We stayed here the night before our flight. Unfortunately, the pool is no longer there, so there's really not much to do except to sleep, which is all we really needed. Ruby Tuesdays is right across the street which is nice for a quick bite or drink."

Waterfront Inn PHL Airport

"I had a very pleasant stay. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The location was convenient, and everything was exactly as expected. The check-in process was easy, and the staff was friendly and helpful. I felt comfortable and safe during my stay. I would definitely stay here again and recommend this place to others."
