Guests of the Howard Johnson Express Wilmington will find a great collection of restaurants and shops close to home, and can enjoy an easy few minutes’ drive into the heart of the Downtown region as well to sample the best cafes, restaurants, pubs and bistros that the city has to offer. A number of attractions are less than 5 miles away, like the Arlie Gardens and Thalian Hall, and guests can greet every day of exploration with a continental breakfast that’s served in the casual dining room.
