"The room was great and very comfortable and we loved the location. I was very put off by the lack of service and irritating policies and signs. We were driving to Wilmington and had made plans to visit with friends in Pawleys Island on the way up. The Verandas only has check in from 4 to 5 pm so I sent a message to say we would not arrive until 6:00. No response so I called them. They said I would receive an email from them giving me a link to provide my ID and credit card images. I thanked them...
"The staff was very helpful. We texted back and forth about restaurants in the area.
The property is cute and the outdoor are has three amazing fire pits."
"I stayed here for 2 days and it was really amazing. Very interesting ornate setting, clean, quiet, and a great area to explore. Angie and her family were super nice and wonderful hosts. I would definitely recommend and hope to be back. Breakfast was awesome too!"

"Absolutely an amazing place, the hotel is on the boardwalk. I just love waking up in the morning and head out for a walk on the boardwalk. Beautiful! Sunset is also beautiful. Besides the place is walkable distance to some amazing restaurants."
"Staff was friendly and courteous on all shifts, room was clean and comfy. Great value as we were in town for a convention and other hotels were super pricy and this fit our budget. Pleasantly surprised as I keep reading so many negative reviews on so many different hotels. I would stay there again in a heartbeat. Breakfast was great as well!"

"Stayed one night inbetween our other hotel stay. Staff was super friendly on all 3 shifts. Room was clean and comfortable. Loved having a free bite at breakfast before heading home- make your own waffle, cereal, muffins and beverages. Pool was open but way too cold to go into."

A verified traveller stayed at Wingate by Wyndham - Wilmington
"The location was very convenient close to the I-40 and central within the city for access to the beach, state park, the battleship, and the historic district by the Cape Fear river banks
The rooms were very clean and all the furnishings as well as the bathroom fittings were relatively new and functioning well. There were ample plug-in and charging ports by the bedside and the work table. All in all a very comfortable and well laid out rooms
The hot breakfast was adequate with a few hot breakfast items like fried eggs, sausage, waffle makers, cereals, and bread. The fruit selection was limited to apples but enough to have a filling breakfast for the day
