Embassy Suites by Hilton Wilmington Riverfront

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property, enjoyed my stay."

Best Western Plus Coastline Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and faced the water with a great view. We did not use any of the amenities other than the breakfast. The breakfast was very good (except the powdered eggs), but they had a waffle station, breads, yogurt station and other breakfast foods."

ARRIVE Wilmington

10/10 Excellent

"Great location in a very cool part of town. The room was newly decorated beautifully and comfortable for its size Good facilities on site and heaps of walkable options. Air con works well Only warning many rooms are up lots of stairs and there is no elevator or help if you have heavy bags which is why we chose the ground floor for a one night stay before a flight out."

"The Catalina Crib was as advertised! Very conveniently located and the space was comfortable and nicely updated. The parking space was a bit difficult to find for us but so nice to have!
