"1st room smelled like cigars, had to be moved to another room. Staff was nice to help me with that. Parking good breakfast was good. Room floor felt dirty (a plus for wood floors instead of carpet) I would’ve chosen somewhere else. The hallways smell"

Hotel Ballast Wilmington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
"The staff was great as we come to expect the room was clean. Little surprised and disappointed at the small pool. Photos are a bit deceiving and when it’s busy there was no loungers. The location is great lots of good food in the area. Overall we would stay here again."
