Top Cape Fear Museum of History and Science Hotel Reviews

Embassy Suites by Hilton Wilmington Riverfront

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel looks and feels very nice. Beautiful inside, excellent location, several elevators, nice views. Area around is clean, quiet, direct access to the Riverwalk. Our room was large, clean and nice. Beds were comfy, large bathroom and overall nice. The only issue we had was AC - it did not work, but we realised too late. Stuff told us their maintenance crew works 24-7 but we did not bother, it was 11pm when I saw the thermostat temperature. W'eve got 2 free drinks each. Breakfast was great, really appreciate custom omelettes and good coffee. Parking is expensive, $30 for in-out self park, 35 valet. But it's actually $15 for 24 hours in the same parking garage if you just drive in and park one level higher. Which we did."
