Top Cape Fear Museum of History and Science Hotel Reviews

Hotel Ballast Wilmington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"The room was nice. Very good service at the resturants. Great river view. Convenient to downtown Wilmington."

Best Western Plus Coastline Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Ok so first… the elevator was broken but we knew that going in that we would have to take the heel toe express up the stairs. BUT we had to bring our dog at the last minute and they accommodated us with zero issues. They comped our parking to make up for it. I LOVE staying at this property. The breakfast was not great because of being in the lobby but that’s not usually the case. The people are so nice! Highly recommend."

Hampton Inn by Hilton Wilmington Downtown

8/10 Good

"Great location, staff helpful, room quality very good. Breakfast just ok."

5-Star Downtown Riverview Condo w/Parking

8/10 Good

"Location...Location....Location!! This condo is in a great location! We could walk everywhere that we wanted to go. The condo is very cute and just right for 2 people. It is clean and the pictures are accurate. Our host was very accommodating and easy to connect with. We really liked the little balcony. The only call out I would have is there is a closet in the bedroom but was locked so I am assuming it is being used for supplies. I would stay here again and definitely in this area of Wilmington."

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, comfy bed and wonderful little amenities! Had a cute snack basket, along with bathroom extras (hair ties, cotton swabs and q-tips) that were a great touch! It’s close enough to downtown that everything is easily walkable but not so close it’s too loud. Host was very easy to communicate with and so helpful when needed!"
