Top The Bottom Hotel Reviews

Hotel Ballast Wilmington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Great location-friendly staff-excellent breakfast"

Comfort Inn University

10/10 Excellent

"During our stay the rooms were clean and well stocked. The breakfast was normal but the dining area was clean. The beds were very comfortable and the air conditioner in our room worked well. The huge parking lot was a plus. The hotel was convenient to a pub called Pantana Bob which is walking distance and they have a live band every Friday and Saturday night which was so much fun just keep in mind its very popular with the collage kids. Our overall say was a 10/10. We will definitely stay there again."
