Beautiful decor and very unique. Good communication when we were having to travel far and required late check-in. We were surprised there was a very loud dog barking when we arrived - and continued to bark for a while. That was not pleasant. The only other complaint is getting up in the morning and looking forward to breakfast. We weren't greeted at all by staff (the one person). We had to find him and ask him what was what and tell him what we wanted to eat. Another guest was even confused as to where everything was. I had to point things out for him. I like minimal, but it was just a bit too minimal.

I had a wonderful overnight in Wilmington and am happy I chose Dreamers. The quaint little town was walkable, and I loved being surrounded by the staely homes. The owenrs were very kind and accomodating. Breakfast was outstanding and they gave me a parking pass so that I was able to park right in front of the gorgeous building. And the bed- wow! I slept great and will def be back.

Our stay was wonderful! The checkin was the only hiccup as we didn’t receive instructions as we were arriving after hours.Once that was cleared up - it was Amazing!!! Easy to get into our room- perfect setting -just as described. Walked everywhere— excellent breakfast each morning. We really enjoyed our stay and plan on coming back soon!

Top floor and no elevator. Very noisy air conditioner so it was hard to sleep (thermostat was outside of the room to shut it off). Breakfast was vegan, which we didn’t mind, but only 3 choices. This is not a hotel or b&b that caters to everyone or different generations

The property needs some updates and attention, especially for the rate. We came in to a very hot room. There’s only one vent in the room and lots of windows making it like a greenhouse. Luckily it is fall and so at night opening all the windows works for keeping it cool enough. I adjusted the AC in the hall but it never seemed to cool the room we were in below 80. A smoke detector battery was low and so the smoke detector was loudly beeping every minute. We alerted the staff as soon as we were in for the night, around 8pm. They told us they couldn’t come out and the host was gone and just to remove it. Luckily my husband was barely tall enough to reach it when standing on a stool in the room. The next day they came to replace it. We got back after a wedding and the smoke detector was beeping again. My husband again had to pull it down and said it had the same battery as before. They didn’t even change the battery. I told the staff and they said they would take care of it. Not one single word of apology for any of it. Also, the bathroom window did not close and continued to bang back and forth with the wind. That’s a lot of issues for a place that is demanding luxury hotel prices. I’m all for a fun experience and the quirks of historic charm, but I’ve stayed in hostels with less maintenance issues.

This is an hidden gem that I will be back again! We had some unexpected personal issues arise that the staff assisted with sincere support. They did above and beyond with a smile from pre-arrival to the bumps in the road we faced during the stay. The area was beautiful with picturesque street views of the homes in the area. It was like postcard moment as you just took in the surroundings day and night. Thank you for the beautiful experience during a not so beautiful day.

A Dream Come True
Although I was initially taken aback that the space was smaller than appeared online and that there was no in-room frig or coffee pot, I fell in love with the space. Upon entering Dreamers,I found the ambient music and aromatic scent soothing and inviting. Check in was quick and efficiently done via iPad until I was greeted by Oceana. She graciously brought in my bags, set them in the room, helped me put my refrigerated items in a mini frig designated by a magnet matching the shape on my room door. Communication via text was consistent and responsive. At no point did I feel as if I needed something and didn’t get it. The room itself was beautiful! The lighting was sparse and positioned throughout the room with minimalist yet artsy lamps. The ac was perfect but the retro mini fan was just as powerful. Also in the room was a diffuser with an aromatic essential oil named for one of the Dreamers, Traveler. There was also a glass carafe of cool fresh water with 2 stemmed water glasses on a table in front of one of the windows near a comfy reading chair. The bathroom? OMG! Rainfall shower with bear claw tub. Knobs adjusted water flow: tub, shower, or handheld. Can’t forget the Google cast through which you can stream music and the TV “hidden” under a beautiful had crafted throw. There were also short descriptions of accessories and the cost in case I wanted to purchase. All in all, I loved the Dreamer by DW.

This home is beautiful, but my husband and I have some mobility issues and some aspects of the house (uneven floors, no handrail on front steps, high entry into tub, low bed, trip hazards) made it difficult to navigate. Also, the room was not particularly comfortable and would benefit from a second chair. We did enjoy sitting on the large and comfortable front porch watching it rain. We had minimal interaction with staff.
