Hotel Ballast Wilmington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
Great stay in Wilmington. This hotel is on the water with a very nice waterfront pool. Clean and updated. Friendly staff. Perfect location for The River Walk and to eat and drink on Front Street.

Spark by Hilton Wilmington
Our stay at the Spark was nice. Reasonable distance to downtown. Only problem was that the pool was completely empty. Probably would have chosen a different hotel had we been aware that the pool was not going to be accessible.

DoubleTree by Hilton Wilmington, NC
It was nice and clean. But no free parking. No breakfast. There was pistachio latte advertising inside elevator. But they can’t prepare it in Starbucks. Not easy to sign in Wifi. No Netflix, you must sign into your own account. It takes time.
