Top The Cotton Exchange Hotel Reviews

Hotel Ballast Wilmington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"The hotel was fine and in a good location (along the river walk) in downtown Wilmington. The free airport shuttle service was handy and prompt (10-15 minutes from airport. Staff was friendly and competent. The most negative comment I have is the room amenities. Weirdly, there was not enough drawer space for clothing. And only 4 hangers in the closet. The room should be supplied with a folding luggage rack."

"Great location, comfy bed and wonderful little amenities! Had a cute snack basket, along with bathroom extras (hair ties, cotton swabs and q-tips) that were a great touch! It’s close enough to downtown that everything is easily walkable but not so close it’s too loud. Host was very easy to communicate with and so helpful when needed!"
