Hotel Ballast Wilmington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
10/10 Excellent
"Everything was great except for housekeeping knocking on our door to see if we had checked out. I’ve never had that happen before. It was very annoying."
"The hotel staff was great. They did not do room service during our stay, but did give us what we asked for. The lighting was poor in the bedroom, however, it was hard to sleep at night. We didn't sleep for the whole week because it was so noisy. The other boarders kept going up and down the stairs, slamming doors, and talking or arguing rigt outside our window. It didn't help that our room was right under the stairs. Unfortunately, we had to have a bottom floor room due to knee problems and all of them were booked up. They had asked me on the phone if I wanted a top or bottom room and I had told them bottom, but when we arrived, they had prepared us a top floor. I then told them we had reserved a bottom floor. They said they were all filled up, only one had just cleared out and was getting ready to be cleaned if we were willing to wait. We shouldn't have had to wait, and he did give us a "treat bag" for having to wait. The smoking section was also situated right outside our room window which let in a lot of smoke. I do not want to sound like it was awful. The biggest problem was the other guests who were going up and down the stairs and slamming down all night every night. Also, the hall light was on all night, which seeped into the room. The beds and pillows were very uncomfortable. We actually were in pain as well as exhausted from lack of sleep. Besides these things, the hotel was fine. The breakfasts were good and all appliances worked as they should."
"Property and room was clean and well maintained. Great breakfast and really appreciated how friendly, courteous, and helpful the staff were. The pet room we were in was near the first floor exit at the end of the hall and it was very noisy anytime there was foot traffic in or out, but we would definitely stay here again."
"Always a pleasure staying at this hotel it is clean and recently renovated. Nice accommodations that are beachfront and even the free continental breakfast is great. I would highly recommend this hotel if you’re looking for beachfront."
"Reasonably helpful staff, but my room (corner, river view) had a broken door lock; when I asked to move, I was told there were no equivalent rooms available, so rather than be upgraded, I was put in a cheaper room with no balcony/view/ etc"
"We really enjoyed ourselves. The beds were super comfy, and the staff went over and beyond to accommodate us. The breakfast was delicious as well. We'd love to come and stay again some time!"
