No AC & No TV & TINY Bathrooms
This hotel has a serious AC problem. I’ve stayed at Arrive Hotel many times so I’ve experienced many of their rooms. The AC lets you set it to as low as 65 but it’s just an illusion because the actual AC will not go below 72 degrees. The rooms are humid (because of no AC) and you will be very uncomfortable. The TV is there for looks only and no channels work. The bathrooms are laughably small. I thought New York had small rooms… Arrive Hotel has them beat. Very upsetting because this hotel could actually good if basic issues were fixed… but this has been an ongoing issue with Arrive Hotel. Highly recommend staying at a different hotel in the area.
AC in hotel does not work.

I love staying here! Quaint and charming. I have stayed once with my 6 year-old for a fun getaway, walkable to restaurants and drove to the aquarium. I also stayed with my husband for 2 nights and we had a great time. If “Mr. Serious” says he had a great time more than once, you know it was fun! I will absolutely recommend and be back.

This is a great small hotel ! We wanted a place close enough to a wedding that we could walk and this fit the bill. Arrive is so centrally located in the historic district that we walked to the venue in 3 minutes.The room, although small, was very clean and attractive and the bed, bedding and pillows were cozy and super comfortable. It was easy to use the valet to drop off the car and have it brought to us the next day. All the staff were very helpful and accommodating . While we did wish there was coffee in the room, as in every other property we have stayed at, there was a decent size mini fridge where we were able store our cold things. If you need a place to stay in the historic district, where you can easily walk to attractions and dining, I think you will like Arrive.

I've stayed at this hotel on multiple trips for work and this was my first time staying as a vacation. I really enjoy this hotel. The staff is great and very responsive. The location is great and just a 5 min walk to old town. The standard rooms are small, but if you're not going to be in the room much, it doesn't matter. I love the firepits and grounds. Makes for a nice relaxing evening.

I had an amazing stay at the ARRIVE hotel in Wilmington, NC. The mix of mid-century vintage and contemporary design made the place feel warm and cozy, with every detail thoughtfully crafted. The social courtyard was a great spot to relax, and the breakfast and brunch were delicious. The location is perfect too—right in downtown, so I could easily walk to Seabird for dinner and back. Highly recommend!
