Top Riverwalk Hotel Reviews

ARRIVE Wilmington

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location and staff. The hotel employee that helped check me in went out of her way late at night to make certain that everything I needed was taken care of – absolutely the best!"

Hotel Ballast Wilmington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Nice view, cool property, walkable."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Wilmington Riverfront

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay in general. The highlights are the made to order breakfast , and the 5:30-7:00 happy hour, both included. We really enjoyed the staff at these events. We loved being close to everything and we walked around daily. The only area which I'd suggest improvements were housekeeping. We stayed 7 days and each day we had to go out and look for staff to give us more coffee, towels, and we had to leave our garbage in the hall to be emptied. Finally on day 4, we asked how we could get service to the room. The desk staff requested service on the computer, and they did come later the next day. For people who paid $3000 in costs for accommodation for the week, I would like to see a system in place where it isn't such a guessing game to have these services provided. It's ironic that the people staying the longest get the poorest service."

Aloft by Marriott Wilmington at Coastline Center

"Great location and nice hotel with all of the Hilton niceties (cleanliness, service, etc). Great beds and pillows too. The hotel needs updating and the pool as well as its lounge area around the pool needs cleaning or possibly updating. I recommend it for the cost if you want a nice and clean hotel."
