Top Southport Hotel Reviews

Dry Dock Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I really like this place clean rooms, clean bathrooms"

Sleep Inn Wilmington near University

10/10 Excellent

"Listen, this isn’t a 5 star hotel, but I’d prefer to stay here more than other places in Wilmington. The staff is exceptional! The front desk staff is always friendly and efficient. Anything I’ve ever needed from them was addressed quickly and to my satisfaction. The hotel is clean and well kept for the age of the hotel. Every time I’ve stayed I’ve noticed something they’ve been updating in the rooms. When you need a quiet and friendly place to lay your head, I’d always recommend them for the value. Lots of more expensive places to stay in Wilmington and I’ve stayed at several of them. I’ve always come back to the Sleep Inn. If you are about value for your dollar, and who isn’t these days, this is my suggestion."
