Top Wilmington Convention Center Hotel Reviews

The Hive

8/10 Good

"Parking wasn’t free, I had to pay 30.00 a day to park! I parked on the gravel it was tough getting my luggage through the gravels. No elevators."

Hotel Ballast Wilmington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"This place is rather dated and needs several upgrades in the rooms. The sinks are very shallow, no vanity space at. Needs new paint. Staff is friendly and very welcoming. Overall good location close to River walk, battle ship, downtown shops, and the convention center."

Hampton Inn by Hilton Wilmington Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Location, hotel room, and staff were perfect! Thank you! RJ (valet) was super helpful also. :)"

ARRIVE Wilmington

8/10 Good

"Very unusual facility is it a hotel, motel, bed and breakfast or none of the above. It's different but in a good way. No easy way to describe it except to say if it's convenient to where you want to be you'll be enjoying old world charm."

Heart of Downtown Wilmington ILM - Sleeps 12! Sauna, walking distance to a lot.

10/10 Excellent

"Such a great location. Walkable to almost everything in downtown and river. If you are a “OTH” or “summer I turned pretty” very close by serval filming locations of both shows. Would be great for a girls weekend or weekend getaway! We have stayed here several times and will be back."

Catalina Crib~ Experience Downtown Wilmington Nightlife, Walk to Concerts

10/10 Excellent

"From the moment I stepped into Catalina Crib, I was immediately impressed. The space was exceptionally clean, fresh, and inviting, with no lingering odors whatsoever. Everything was beautifully decorated with thoughtful personal touches that created a warm, welcoming, and home-like atmosphere. I especially appreciated the attention to detail throughout the space. The furniture and bed were comfortable and cozy, and the mini snack bar stocked with delicious treats was such a thoughtful touch. One of my favorite features was the dimmer controls on the lights. I personally experience light sensitivity, so having the ability to adjust the lighting to a comfortable level made a significant difference and truly enhanced my stay. Dee, the host, was absolutely amazing. She was professional, attentive, and incredibly accommodating, making sure I had everything I needed throughout my stay. I felt completely safe, comfortable, and at home from start to finish. I genuinely enjoyed my experience at Catalina Crib and would absolutely stay here again—and again!"

Riverview Penthouse on Water Street! Stunning views and sunsets!

10/10 Excellent

"What a view! From the moment my husband and I walked in we knew it was the perfect place for us. The condo was very clean and welcoming. It had all the supplies needed and was well maintained. It was also surprisingly quiet. We had all the privacy needed for a restful, relaxing getaway. Siting on the balcony watching the sunset was amazing! The host was super responsive and kind and made sure we had what we needed to be comfortable. Hight recommend!"
