Top Cape Fear Museum of History and Science Hotel Reviews

ARRIVE Wilmington

10/10 Excellent

"Boutique Hotel was fantastic. Great location and staff and facilities were outstanding. Only thing that was missing was having coffee in the room, not acceptable for a high end Boutique hotel."

Hotel Ballast Wilmington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"I actually didn’t realize when I was booking that this is the old Hilton Riverfront. Although it’s still run by Hilton, it’s the Hotel Ballast now. I stayed here years ago under the old name, etc and I could definitely tell several upgrades had been made. It’s walkable to the amphitheater but it does take a while. We went to a concert one night and stayed around the hotel the next. Downtown Wilmington is very walker friendly. We only left the hotel once, and that was to go to Jimbo’s for breakfast on Saturday morning. My only complaint about the stay was that the lighting isn’t great for putting on your makeup. Bring a travel lighted mirror if you have one."

Hampton Inn by Hilton Wilmington Downtown

8/10 Good

"Valet parking was exceptional and very responsive. Employees were friendly and efficient. On the other hand, corporate issues include—-Breakfast had A LOT to be desired, few choices, pre-packaged, no diverse items, few hot foods. Room had no ice bucket, no table lamp, poor lighting in bathroom mirror. No iron. Door stuck. All minor inconveniences"

Aloft by Marriott Wilmington at Coastline Center

8/10 Good

"This hotel is at the convention center end of Wilmington which means it's surrounded by boring, bland hotels and parking lots. It is however the most interesting hotel in the area since it incorporates an historic rail warehouse. The loft style rooms with the cubicle wall bathrooms, slider door, and curtain really aren't that great. Passing trend which is already passé."
