Top Wilmington Hotel Reviews

Best Western Plus Wilmington/Wrightsville Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Loved"

Comfort Inn University

10/10 Excellent

"The staff is friendly and check in process was very easy. I believe the front desk lady’s name is Trinity - she was very nice and helpful. She helped me check in an hour early at 2pm. I was very tired from traveling and she definitely helped me out and made the experience positive and great! I would definitely stay at this location again."

Fairfield Inn & Suites Wilmington / Wrightsville Beach

10/10 Excellent

"the Staff at this Fairfield Inn was outstanding. From the woman who checked us in initially to the day staff desk lady to the evening stay gentlemen, all three were helpful, went beyond what was asked. I wish I knew their names so I could identify them personally. One thing which could identify them was that my daughter and I were moving her from NC to UT. WE had 2 containers of a great Grandmother's china which we were delivering to friends in NC to store until cousins from Richmond, VA came to retrieve the china. We had not been able to connect with our friends in a timely way. The young g man at night checked the meeting g schedule and helped us get the dishes stored for one day. He was so eager to help us and to make this work. WE also have to mention Val in the dining area. She knows how to cook eggs and bacon correctly! I told her I travel a LOT and she is a "first" to not serve runny scrambled eggs! She was also very pleasant and friendly. Out hotel stay was SUPERIOR!!!!"
