Top South End Hotel Reviews

Baymont by Wyndham Wilmington

10/10 Excellent

"All good"

Hampton Inn & Suites Carolina Beach Oceanfront

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is a great location. Our room was clean. The staff is friendly and the breakfast is awesome! Something different each morning along with fresh fruit, oatmeal, grits & yogurt & nice variety of cereals. Walking distance to restaurants and right on broadwalk. Tiki bar was really nice too! Great drinks & food."

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

10/10 Excellent

"This property is centrally located between downtown and the beach. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Beds were oh so comfortable and breakfast top notch and offered quite a variety for a hotel. We will certainly try and stay here again."

The Sand Dunes

8/10 Good

"We thoroughly enjoyed our week here. Easy access to beach and pool. Gorgeous view! Literally 3 doors down from center of town where some excellent restaurants are. Beds comfortable and pillows were perfect!!! The only complaint I had was the railing on the balcony. Gorgeous views while standing but if you sit all you see is the thick wide railing! It took me a couple of days to get over the frustration and disappointment but eventually I did as everything else was awesome!!! Definitely will be back next year."

Shell Island Resort - All Oceanfront Suites

8/10 Good

"Rooms were clean and adequate in size for 2. Rooms were dated and needed upgrading. Plumbing and shower facilities needed attention. Outside hot tub did not work at all and the front desk told us they hadnt worked for over 2 years but it is still advertised on the website. Kitchen cleaning facilities were very poor. No dish washer, no scrubbies to clean pots. Told to use paper towels to clean pots. No departing instructions about what to do when leaving. Nice pool - limited shade. Easy access to beach. Tiki bar closed. Limited hours on restaurant - no breakfast. Good location for town restaurants. Gorgeous views. A bit pricey for what we got."
