Aloft Wilmington at Coastline Center
Reasonably helpful staff, but my room (corner, river view) had a broken door lock; when I asked to move, I was told there were no equivalent rooms available, so rather than be upgraded, I was put in a cheaper room with no balcony/view/ etc

ARRIVE Wilmington
Adorable place. The combination of retro and modern was noticeable. The gazebo bar is a cute touch and the gardean areas, fireplaces are incredible! Some rooms slightly dated and in need of small updates.
