Hotel Ballast Wilmington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and the bed comfortable.. but the hallway and elevator area showed age… not an issue. Restaurant was delicious!!"

Best Western Plus Coastline Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Ok so first… the elevator was broken but we knew that going in that we would have to take the heel toe express up the stairs. BUT we had to bring our dog at the last minute and they accommodated us with zero issues. They comped our parking to make up for it. I LOVE staying at this property. The breakfast was not great because of being in the lobby but that’s not usually the case. The people are so nice! Highly recommend."

Aloft by Marriott Wilmington at Coastline Center

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and organized well. Bed was comfortable. Parking was convenient and affordable as we just used the parking garage across the street. Bathroom was kinda open lift style so unless you are very comfortable listening to your guest use the bathroom, the room is best for single guests. Cafe and restaurants on the premise. Centrally located. Would book again if I was alone on a business trip."
