Top Wilmington Hotel Reviews

Hotel Ballast Wilmington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"I liked that there was a nice restaurant right at the hotel, the pool was clean and nice and I loved the river walk right there by the hotel."

Tru by Hilton Wilmington

10/10 Excellent

"Check in was swift and the lobby looked very nice. Everything in this hotel is bright and has color which I like instead of that boring minimalist look. The room was very clean and modern. Totally loved the pool. I loved the cabanas and the fountains in the pool. It was just a nice vibe and when the pool lights come on, it looks even nicer. The hotel being connected to Hotel Lela could make you have to park further in the lot, but it wasn’t that much of an inconvenience. There were a lot of guests this weekend, so our floor was a little noisy. A few guests had dogs so anytime the elevator opened this one dog would bark. So prose that they are pet-friendly. Con is if you’re not used to dogs barking at night or if you have a little one trying to sleep. This was also not far from the beach. Wrightsville Beach is closest, but I visited Carolina Beach and that drive wasn’t bad at all. It was also a short drive to downtown Wilmington, which made it convenient. Overall, I would definitely return and I would probably want to try Hotel Lela just to see what those rooms are like."

Tru By Hilton Wilmington Wrightsville Beach

8/10 Good

"The hotel is fairly new, so iy was clean overall. The main issue for this hotel is the fact that you can hear EVERYTHING! You can even hear your next door guests talking. Also outside noises are easily heard, which makes light sleepers to wake up back to back. Luckily for me, I'm far from being a light sleeper, but in other hand, my fiancé is alight sleep, which made it difficult for him to sleep well. I think when they built this building, they should've paid more attention to soundproofing, but guess they missed thst big part. Other than poor soundproofing, everything else was great. But I'm not sure if I would rebook next time I visit Wilmington."

ARRIVE Wilmington

10/10 Excellent

"Thank you, thank you! We booked for a soccer tournament and had to book via a soccer app with the team. Not sure about those but the original location was dirty and noise, thank goodness Arrive was available and even let us check in early! That my friends was a godsend. Will definitely book again when in Wilmington!"
