Hotel Ballast Wilmington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were super clean and nice. Just truly wished there was a fridge. "

Shell Island Resort - All Oceanfront Suites

4/10 Poor

"Had so many issues. Was told our room was ready when it wasn’t. Onsite restaurant was closed the entire time of our stay from Sunday-Wednesday. Pull out sofa mattress had stains and smelled. Dirty utensils in the drawer. Resort was out of pool towels and hotel towels. Dining table was almost falling apart. Toilet did not flush. Shower did not drain. No conditioner available. TV remotes did not work in bedroom. The remote that was in the room didn’t even belong to the tv’s in the unit. Was told guests often steal them. So I guess no one is checking the rooms after guests leave. "

Hampton Inn & Suites Carolina Beach Oceanfront

6/10 Okay

"Location was great and staff were kind and helpful, however the room itself was not maintained well and had mold and mildew. We almost had to cut our stay short if it weren’t for the can of Lysol we sprayed everywhere and after tying up the curtains. We couldn’t close them due to not being able to breathe when they were shut. I’m not sure if it’s the HVAC or just a general layout of the building is not equipped for the constant wet air. Maybe they can invest in a dehumidifier. Even the tv stand was rotting away. "
