Aloft Wilmington at Coastline Center
Room had a great view and it was very spacious and clean. The roof top bar was amazing. It was very convenient to have coffee, breakfast, dinner and drinks on site. Everything we purchased food and drink wise was excellent! The staff were also polite, professional, and welcoming.

ARRIVE Wilmington
Staff was friendly and check in/out went smoothly. AC was locked and couldn’t get down to my preferred temp at night. They charged a $50+ fee automatically for discounts at their restaurant and gazebo bar, but neither was open during my visit. Self-parking is $15/night.
