Hampton Inn by Hilton Wilmington Downtown

8/10 Good

"Very well located. Breakfast was lacking though. Runs out fast.. not also not much to pick from. have to chase the people in charge so they can refill everything cause they put out small amounts and usually the place is packed. Could do better. However, the hotel itself is fine. Beds are a bit small so make sure to get the King size bed or two beds so you dont have to share. No need to use valet parking.. not even sure why they have that.. plenty of parking in and around the area. A bit pricey during the holiday but again it is well situated. Overall it was a good stay :)"

Aloft by Marriott Wilmington at Coastline Center

10/10 Excellent

"I really enjoyed this hotel. The property repurposed old railroad buildings that had once defined the area. Great touch. My lone heads-up to people would be that our room (#607) was an open concept type of room with minimalist barriers. So if someone is in the shower, the whole room feels the humidity. And there’s not a lot of bathroom privacy. We were traveling with our teenage sons before our beach rental was ready and it was a little tight. But for a couple or smaller, younger family, this is a fantastic property. Make sure you visit the rooftop restaurant. The staff up there are wonderful, too. Morning coffee on the riverwalk was beautiful. The adjacent hotels have great rooftop options, too. Bonita down the street was delicious for Latin American food. This hotel is in a great location and it’s really an easy walk to anywhere you want to eat/visit in Wilmington’s historic district."
