"I really loved this hotel! Ive had the privilege of staying at a few different hotels in the area (mostly in Wrightsville and Wilmington) and I can honestly say this one was probably my favorite out of all the ones we've stayed at. The staff was super nice, the room was nice, and we really enjoyed our stay."
Hotel Ballast Wilmington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
4/10 Poor
"Just don’t stay here it’s not worth the money. The staff is always rude I was asked to by one of the vallet guys for money I thought that was odd considering it’s a complementary service. They don’t have room service and the ‘view’ is a waterfront look over a dirty polluted river. Also don’t stay on the 9th floor, the room I stayed in you can hear the bings from the elevator. It took me awhile to figure out what that noise was and I thought I was loosing it for a second. The entry way to the elevator sounds like a wind tunnel it’s so loud and painful to the ears. "
"Breakfast was decent. Condition of property leaves a lot to be desired. Room was OK but hallways were in terrible shape. Carpet faded, oilly and ragged. Front desk was rarely manned. Clientele was mostly workers who were in the area. Nothing wrong with that, but we were the only couple or family that I saw over 3 days. Wanted to change prepaid reservation from 3 nights to 2 nights upon check-in. Motel would not allow change nor refund the one night's stay. It was cheap and that was what we got. Will not stay there again, even if have to pay more to stay elsewhere."
