Top Wilmington Convention Center Hotel Reviews

Hotel Ballast Wilmington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"We stayed here two years ago and love it but I was honestly surprised how much this property had gone downhill since. The floor and baseboards were quite dirty. The bed and pillows were very uncomfortable. The toilet is mounted on the wall and it sunk and made noises when sitting on it. The wall is cracking around the mount like it may fall. The light on the bathroom mirror wouldn’t work and we could barely see in there. We had a river front room and the main window was too dirty to see out. I tried to clean the inside because it clearly hadn’t been done in some time. The smaller window was too molded to see out of. We were shocked at how neglected things seem now from when we were here last. The outdoor areas seem like an afterthought. The location is excellent and its walkability is unparalleled, unfortunately the hotel itself is in dire need of some deep cleaning and updates."

Best Western Plus Coastline Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Helpful staff and nice breakfast although the breakfast room is a bit small. Arrived around 8:00 pm but could not get to the hotel until after 11:00pm due to July 4th roads were blocked to get to the hotel itself. It would have been nice to have been advised of this issue prior to the booking."

Cozy Houseboat in Port City Marina Wilmington, NC Nestled among The Cove Villas

10/10 Excellent

"This is a wonderful and charming houseboat. Our family enjoyed her thoroughly. The location is ideal for our visit with its view of the Cape Fear River and proximity to good, casual dining and old town Wilmington."

Aloft by Marriott Wilmington at Coastline Center

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean. In our room there was a toilet closet only. No privacy for the shower. Dog friendly, and it was loaded with dogs. Be ready for intermittent barking, and we encountered dog puke in the elevator. View of the navy ship was great. Parking safe, but $25 per day for self park. Rooftop longe was great for fireworks. "
