Hotel Ballast Wilmington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

Hotel Ballast Wilmington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent
"Had a great experience. Staff was amazing and the place was clean. I will say that the property needs some work. I realize that it’s on the coast and the elements can be rough, however, laying at the pool, the overhangs were worn and rotted, torn in places and missing in others. This continued to the self parking portico. Would stay here again but surely wouldn’t pay $500 per night again."
