"I have to say this is the best Quality Inn property we have ever stayed at. It was absolutely immaculate. All staff (desk representatives, housecleaners, and maintenance staff) were very pleasant and easy to communicate with. They all went above and beyond to accommodate us. The breakfast bar was immaculate with good-quality breakfast items, and my favorite was that coffee was available ALL day. We will definitely be using this particular location when we are in the Wilmington, NC, area in...

10/10 Excellent

Hotel was absolutely beautiful, very clean. Central location to everything whether it is the beach, the stores, or downtown, you are less than 20 min to all. only thing i would say was one of the front desk staff women at night was not friendly at all upon arrival which was kind of disappointing but other than that, the rest of the staff was very pleasant. Would 10/10 recommend for anyone coming to Wilmington !

The Carriage House Inn Bed and Breakfast

Southport

10/10 Excellent

We've been coming to Southport to visit family for 20 years and the Carriage House has always intrigued us but we've never stayed until now. It was absolutely wonderful. Amy was very friendly and knowledgeable and the facilities were amazing. I travel a lot and spend 30-45 days a year in hotels and this was one of my best experiences. I just wished we had more time to just stay at the Carriage House and enjoy it more, but we spent most of our time visiting family.
