Embassy Suites by Hilton Wilmington Riverfront

10/10 Excellent

"Spacious, well-equipped, comfortable rooms. Great food in the STEAM restaurant. Fantastic cocktail hour that provides 2 free alcoholic drinks per adult each day along with snacks (cheese and crackers, vegetables and hummus, pretzels or chips). Indoor swimming pool is on the small size, but still a lot of fun. Rooftop view is lovely. The complimentary breakfast buffet with eggs/omelets to order was amazing."

Hotel Ballast Wilmington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"I really like this hotel. We’ve stayed here at least six times in the last six years. It’s not the most welcoming of hotels on the facade, but it’s modern, clean, orderly, and they do their best to maintain it despite being right there on the unforgiving salt water. The staff has been great, helpful, friendly. The valets even remember my husband from previous visits. The restaurant is somewhat better than a lot of chain hotels’ food. The outdoor patio space is very attractive: comfortable, well-appointed, and able to accommodate many different groups and couples at once. And the price is generally VERY reasonable. It’s a good value."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Wilmington West - Medical Park by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"I was having a rough morning, flight cancelled and I needed a place to stay at 8 am. I tried 3 other hotels, all turned me away. This hotel told me they could get me something but I had to wait, so I sat and waiting for about an hour, then the hero at the front desk(she knows who she is) says " hunny I can't see you waiting like this i know you're tired, were gonna do something for you" she gave me a free water, delicious cookies, and found me a room. Massive thank you to her, the cookie maker, and the owner."
