The breakfast bar was immaculate with good-quality breakfast items, and my favorite was that coffee was available ALL day. We will definitely be using this particular location when we are in the Wilmington, NC, area in...

Top Carolina Place Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Wilmington, NC

8/10 Good

"Rooms were spacious and clean.Staff were friendly and helpful. Parking was easy and it was nice to have a bar/restaurant available. Kids also enjoyed having Starbucks in the hotel!"

StudioRes by Marriott Leland

10/10 Excellent

"Very well thought out new concept for a hotel. Very clean. If you needed to stay for awhile, the hotel has a large laundry room and gym. Love that there is not carpeting everywhere. It makes it much easier to roll your luggage. Many restaurants close by as well as CVS and grocery store. Would stay there again if in the area again"

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Wilmington West - Medical Park by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here because it was close to my daughter's home. This hotel was wonderful. That staff were all great. The room was clean. They have 24-hour coffee, a fitness center, and a gym. Parking is easy. The room was a nice size and the beds were clean and comfortable. I can't wait to come back to Wilmington and stay here. The breakfast was nice too, and the hotel is an easy and short drive to many shops and restaurants. This was our first time in Wilmington. 5 stars."
