    breathtaking views
    spacious room
    relaxing pool area
    lack of kid-friendly activities

    The views of the North Carolina battleship and the river were breathtaking. The room was spacious enough for our large family, and the pool area was enjoyable and relaxing. We were in walking distance to all the downtown shops and local restaurants, which was a huge plus.

    My kids wished there were more kid-friendly activities available on-site.

    My stay at Hilton was highly enjoyable. The room was spacious and offered stunning views of the river, with comfortable amenities that catered to my work needs. The staff were exceptionally friendly and responsive, particularly Gabby, who provided outstanding service during my visit. The business center was equipped with both Macs and PCs, which greatly facilitated my work during my stay.

    The check-in process was somewhat slow.

    long check-in
    no room service

    I attended a wedding celebration at this venue. The food and service were impressive. Plus, the shuttle to and from the airport added convenience. A lot of guests traveled from various places, and everyone enjoyed their stay.

    The check-in line was long when I arrived. The lack of room service for fresh towels was disappointing.

    city view
    peaceful atmosphere
    river walk
    aged room

    The city's skyline view from my window was mesmerizing, and I felt so relaxed during my stay, even though the expectations set by the pictures weren't met. Honestly, the room's aged feel contrasted sharply with the captivating riverfront walk I adored. Would I return? Probably not.

    cleanliness issue

    The breakfast options were well-prepared and flavorful, especially the customized omelettes. The beautiful river views from my room created a relaxing atmosphere.

    The room had a couple of cleanliness issues that could be improved.

    This hotel was a solid selection for a budget stay in Wilmington with real value for money. The restaurant staff did a phenomenal job even when understaffed, which really stood out. Be prepared for possible flooding issues after rain.

    unpleasant elevator smell

    Awesome location and service!

    We had a weekend getaway and the valet check-in was super smooth. Our room was comfy, but the view was just the roof, major bummer! Breakfast at the restaurant was solid. Also, the elevators smelled pretty funky, which was a letdown. Overall, it’s a decent place with a great vibe near the river walk and bars.

    Loved the stunning river view room! The staff was super helpful, especially at resolving hiccups with my reservation. The pool area was lovely too!

    No room service for clean towels? I should’ve just brought my own towel collection as a souvenir!

    amazing view
    delayed cleaning service

    Our double room had a nice seating area and an amazing view of the river, making our stay really enjoyable. The pool and sun terrace were great spots to relax after exploring the area. One little hiccup was the cleaning service, which wasn't as timely as expected, but it didn’t ruin our experience. 😊
