Top South Front District Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Wilmington, NC

10/10 Excellent

"clean and ambiance was lovely"

Golden Sands Carolina Beach Oceanfront, Tapestry by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Overall, we enjoyed our stay. We found the staff very friendly and helpful; they responded quickly to requests. Room was clean but in need of upgrades, especially the bathroom which was small for 2 people and the air conditioner unit which was very loud. Pool area was large and well maintained. While a nice property, it did not meet the standards of a Hilton."
