Top Wilmington Railroad Museum Hotel Reviews

ARRIVE Wilmington

10/10 Excellent

"Nicely decorated hotel with several buildings and courtyard. Loved the outside area with the fireplaces and firepits. Did not get to go to the bar/restaurant but it's great that is available. Hotel is within walking distance to riverfront and shops, restaurants and view of the battleship. Parking is across the street, so it may be difficult to transport luggage from there. Room was spacious and clean. I would stay here again."

Hotel Ballast Wilmington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"The rooms were rather small but they were very clean. The staff at the front desk was very helpful. The toilet ran all night long which I had to tell them about in the morning and we had to have maintenance come upstairs to unstop the sink. Also the heat did not work at all."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Wilmington Riverfront

10/10 Excellent

"Everyone working in the building were top-notch professional and willing to go that extra mile to assist and take care of our needs. The room with a river view was laid out with a small sitting area, king bed and huge bathroom. The shower was especially nice and easy to regulate without having to stand inside and get too hot or cold while trying to figure it out. The daily 5:30 - 7:30 ‘happy hour’ with two free drinks per person and very nice appetizers was GREAT. Breakfast was included and a chef fixes your omelet to order even while there is a full buffet offered. The in-house restaurant was as good as any restaurant in downtown Wilmington, NC. that’s all I need to say."

Battleship Sunset on Water Street! River View! Free parking!!

10/10 Excellent

"Loved that parking was included and convenient. The location was perfect for watching the sunsets and walking to stores and restaurants. The unit had everything we could need but with the food options around, we ate out rather than cook. Found great shops for records and books! Very relaxing!"

Catalina Crib~ Experience Downtown Wilmington Nightlife, Walk to Concerts

10/10 Excellent

"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!"
