Top hotels in Princess Place
Shell Island Resort - All Oceanfront Suites
"The room was clean and the view was great but the restaurant was only open 3 hours a day for a couple days. The resort is the last one at a dead end street and you have to go to town for anything to eat or drink. The restaurant staff was great though."

Hotel Ballast Wilmington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
"The property is in a great location. It needs to be updated. Several of the bathrooms were out of order. I feel for the price the rooms should have been nicer and more updated. Also, you have to pay for parking."
