"I loved the hotel because I can sit on the balcony and rocking their blue rocking chair, slept like a rock and they're comfortable beds, and can't wait to come back again and enjoy the pool. They have Continental breakfast which was okay. The room could use some new light fixtures. But other than that it was just fine for what the price of the room was and the location. Will be back."
Hotel Ballast Wilmington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
4/10 Poor
"We were very disappointed in our room (937) for what we paid for the room. Our tv kept turning off took forever for it to come back on. The room was not clean at all, the mirror in bathroom , the bathtub, the floors. The toilet seat was loose when sitting on it , felt like it was rocking."
"This hotel is right on the Riverwalk. The breakfast is excellent with fresh made omelettes available as well as many other choices. The hotel is bright and airy, and the rooms are in great condition. The only complaint that I would have is in the gym and in the access to outdoor space and there’s a small area to sit outside in, but otherwise there’s no place to just sit outside and look at the beautiful view. Unless of course it’s 4 o’clock and the rooftop bar happens to be open, but you can’t bring your family up there. The hotel should provide an outdoor space that is family friendly. A place where you can go and read a book or get some work done if you’re on a business trip, this does not exist in this hotel. In addition, the Peleton bike was not hooked up to the corporate account so it’s kind of worthless unless you have a Peloton membership and the staff had no idea how to deal with it because it’s an outside consultant taking care of it. Otherwise, it’s a great place. The pool is indoor take note. "
"A very convenient location right along the River walk. The property is a little dated but functional, comfortable and clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful."
"This was a family gathering for a funeral with all ages in attendance. There was plenty of room for everyone to hang out. The kids of all ages enjoyed the game room. The hot tub was warm and inviting. Downtown was an easy walk. Great stay."
"This place is a hidden gem. Clean rooms, off-street parking (although for extra $$$), and a super cool little courtyard with a cabana bar, outdoor fireplaces, and corn hole boards."
