This is an exceptional hotel, the room was beautiful and very clean. We prepaid for our trip and was asked to submit a credit card for 'incidentials', we made sure not to incur additional expenses. We checked out at the front desk and was told there were NO additional charges. Much to my BIG surprise I noted a $100.00 charge with no ...

Wedding nightmare
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/18/07
I recently had my fairy tail wedding reception at the Hotel Dupont in Wilmington, Delaware which ended in a nightmare. It was like a dream wedding that exceeded every expectation I had except for one; the safety of my wedding gifts. Unfortunately, upon arrival back from our honeymoon my husband and I had received proof that many of our wedding ...

More than I expected
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/03/07
I was pleasantly surprised!! The room was beautiful, the bathroom serene. The service was stellar. I have absoloutely nothing to complain about. I would reccomend this Hotel to a couple wanting to get a way for a weekend or perhaps a night. The only problem I had was there isn't much to do in the town itself, which is not the Hotels fault. ...

1 YEAR LATER!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/28/07
My husband and I were married there in mid February of 2006 and it was GORGEOUS! We held our ceremony off site and then had our reception in the Gold Ballroom. The Ballroom is absolutely STUNNING! You really do have to go there to appreciate the artistry of the room. As a gift to my husband and I -the hotel gave us a complimentary Honeymoon ...
I thought the hotel was very luxurious and the room we stayed in was very beautiful. The price was great and food was just OK for me. But I would reccommend the hotel to others.

Menu, New Year's Eve
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/03/07
Although the decor and entertainment were first rate, the menu was below standard and there was an unnecessary delay between the serving of each course. Courses which should have been served warm were cold, and other courses screamed of pre-prepared garnishes.
The first of the five courses existed of three asparagus spears garnished with a ...

DONT EAT THE FOOD!!!!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/20/06
I HAD A VERY IMPORTANT BUSINESS APPOINTMENT IN WILMINGTON, DELAWARE IN THE LATE AFTERNOON. I WENT TO THE DUPONT HOTEL TO SEE IF A RESERVATION WAS NECESSARY FOR DINNER. SINCE I HAD THE ENTIRE DAY, I THOUGHT I COULD SEARCH FOR A RESTAURANT FOR THE AFTERNOON OR THE EVENING. I ARRIVED AT 10 AM. I WENT TO THE LARGE DINNING ROOM. I HAD TO WAIT 20 ...

Good,but....
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/13/05
It's a lovely building,freshly renovated and comfortable,but the food is a disappointment.Not terrible,just very average,and not cheap either.We were actually a little happier with Mountchanin,a bed-and -breakfast/lodge/conference center just outside of town where we stayed last year.
