Thanks for the comment!

Newark is part of the Delaware Valley. It includes parts of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland. I live in West Chester, Pennsylvania, which is a short distance north from Wilmington, just across the state line, so I'm familiar with the area where you stayed. If it's the hotel that I'm thinking of, I think we tried to go to that Best Western for breakfast a couple years ago, but the restaurant was closed.

Also, you're correct that these pictures were taken in a location that you would not have observed if you were just in the area of Wilmington, Newcastle, and Newark.
