Hotels near Port of Wilmington

"The location of Hotel Ballast is very nice, located on the river with a beautiful view of the sunset. It’s well maintained with the most helpful and friendly staff. One evening, a neighboring room had some rowdy kids running around and banging on the walls around midnight. I texted the front desk and within two minutes (not an exaggeration) they addressed it and the neighbors settled their kids down. I was completely impressed with their professionalism in this situation. I would certainly return for another visit to Wilmington!"

"The elevator was broken. Had to take stairs from 4th floor for 2 days. Keurig coffee machine broken in room and they couldn’t replace it so they wanted us to change rooms for a working keurig. The room was not cleaned on second day. House keeping was absent. Front desk was not occupied. Horrible hotel and stay. Do not recommend."

"What a beautiful property. Everything was maintained and the room was gorgeous. I enjoyed sitting by the fire one of the nights. We ate brunch and even had a cocktail at the gazebo. I will definitely be back!"

"I was looking for something different from the typical hotel room. Loft style sounded interesting. I should have read more reviews that referred to the lack of amenities and the fact that it’s really just a place to sleep, one or 2 nights. I don’t think I’d book ALoft again because the hardwood floors (only one small area rug) were not comfortable and there was no place to sit for a moment and relax. There is a breakfast table which my husband liked. There is no traditional dresser ( only a 2-drawer cabinet in the bathroom). The bathroom counter has plenty of space, but the sink faucet was not placed correctly so water went all over the floor until we learned that you can only let the water flow at a trickle. Also, there was no cold water from the sink. On the plus side, the desk staff were excellent and there is a really great rooftop bar/ restaurant which was so appealing that we went there 3 times in 3 days. The bartender and waitstaff there were very accommodating, and the river views were extraordinary."

"The breakfast was very nice and fresh. The dining room is a little small but there are tables and benches on the adjoining patio if you are with a large group."

"The facility looks up to date and very clean. The room was very comfortable. The reason for the low review was cause of the small bugs found in the bathroom."

"Good"

"Gorgeous late 1800's home restored with some eclectic vibes...very enjoyable stay and the staff and breakfast were great, as were the rooms. Porches, gardens and location wonderful!"

"Stay was great but parking is the reason I gave a 4 star instead of 5."
