Beach Hotels in Wilmington

My family and I stayed here for a last minute weekend trip to Wilmington. The location was perfect - easy walk to all the downtown area and riverfront district. Hotel was quiet, comfortable and clean. We experienced no issues with our room. Beds were comfortable and the ac unit was quiet. As always with all hotels, I did not like the pillows. Unfortunately I forgot mine at home. Bathroom/shower were clean and the room decor I thought was modern. Every staff member we encountered was friendly, greeted us and quick to assist. Even the valet staff were quick and friendly. Breakfast was normal free breakfast. Nothing spectacular but the basics were there. Pool is small but clean. We looked at the fitness room but did not use. It also looked clean. Great place for a weekend visit especially if you want to walk around town. Highly recommend.

It's a new building, so it's clean and spacious. There are many restaurants nearby and the staff are friendly. Waffles were even better when I woke up in the morning~

The hotel is located in a prime location. Everything is close by and a lot is within walking distance. The hotel was clean, updated, decor was nice, bed was comfortable and the bathroom was nice. Breakfast was plentiful and a good variety of foods. We would definitely stay here again and already have plans to return within the next year.

This might be weird to comment on but I loved the bathroom in my room at this hotel! It was well stocked with towels, had plenty of hooks and rods to hang stuff on, and lots of surface area and shelving for my hair and beauty supplies. I was camped out there for a few days while my dad was in the hospital and I could not be more grateful for the kind and caring staff. They tended to my needs including extending my stay when I learned my dad would be there a few more days and fixing my key cards proactively so I wouldn't have trouble coming and going. The free breakfast and other little details allowed me to focus on my dad. Thanks so much!

I have had the pleasure of staying here often over the last couple of years as well as many of my work colleagues. I have stayed at many hotels all over the eastern US but none have compared to this one. The hotel itself is great, rooms are spacious and clean, everything is great.. but what really sets it apart is the people. On my most recent stay, Sam checked me in and was extremely personable and polite. Before me there was a lady complaining about some noise that other guests were making and Sam did an incredible job keeping his composure and talking with her professionally and politely. Most of all I am delighted with Michelle Dillers customer service. As I mentioned, I stay often. On my most recent stay, she went as far as to leave me a goodie bag with a personal note on it. I couldn’t be more happy with this hotel and I would recommend it to anybody!

Excellent location and service! I received prompt service and appreciated the local advice received. Safe location and near a number of really good restaurants. I would definitely book here again when in the area. Thank you!

Okay, I am going to say that the hotel itself is clean, comfy and the staff is friendly and efficient. The property is in the downtown area and adjacent to the local college campus and is a River front property... and that ladies and gents is my only issue. What I am about to write will no doubt be read by people who will think Hmmm, what a self-entitled ***** and to that I will correct you and ask you to remove the ”self” part and focus SOLELY on the ENTITLED part. I am and have been for several years a Diamond HHonors member. You achieve Diamond (Hilton's HIGHEST level of guest loyalty) not because you OCCASSIONALLY stay at a Hilton branded property, but because you stay at them CONSTANTLY. In order to get there, you have not only spent nights in their bed's but THOUSANDS of dollars to achieve that level of brand LOYALTY. Among the perks/benefits of that level of BRAND LOYALTY (please note the theme here with that word) you have the right to request a room upgrade at check in among other benefits. For the record, not once since achieving Diamond status, have I requested my room be upgraded to a suite. Primarily because I am in the hotel for one day and on to my next property the following day, most times leaving in the middle of the night due to the line of work I am in. Today, as I arrive at the Ballast, I notice the river and the USS North Carolina museum ship moored just behind the hotel. I get to my room and discover that I am street side in an odd numbered room and would really like to get some upper view photos of the battleship. I returned to the desk and ask if I could be switched to a waterside room. Now, for the record the hotel is NINE STORIES TALL and as near as I can calculate has 26 water facing rooms on each floor. Assuming, that floors one and two and possibly three are event and meeting space that still leaves six floors or 156 water side rooms available for booking. Imagine my surprise when I am informed that ”sorry, there is no way for me to move you” You're telling me that 156 rooms are occupied by folks that are incredibly LOYAL to your brand? That the2 wedding parties that you tell me are in house could not be equally accommodated in street side rooms? So much for brand LOYALTY!

Sam and BJ were absolutely exceptional during the check-in/check out process. Despite what other individuals have posted regarding this location in the past, it is currently immaculate and and even the rate is extremely competitive considering you are only 15-20 minutes away from the beach :-). I look forward to future visits to this location.

I had a good experience here, I liked the breakfast and the amenities. Breakfast included eggs, sausage. (Pork and turkey) whole wheat bread available, muffins, cereal, yogurt. Coffee and tea at all hours in the lobby. Pool, weight room, free guest laundry, computer and printers. Room was large and clean. The only negatives were broken toilet paper hanger and not enough towels had to ask for more. Also one of the maids got angry when I forgot to leave a tip and didn’t really change the beds one day but that was a disgruntled employee. Overall excellent experience. Somewhat pricey but you get what you pay for.
