Top Cape Fear Museum Hotel Reviews

Embassy Suites by Hilton Wilmington Riverfront

10/10 Excellent

"Fabulous hotel in great location."

Dreamers BNB

10/10 Excellent

"Dreamers BNB is 10/10, we can't wait to stay there again. The property is just gorgeous, very well maintained, with a huge front porch; the historic home has beautifully remodeled and each room is super unique. Quality furnishing, rich textures, and dreamy colors. Excellent location and walkable to restaurants, coffee shops, the riverfront, and a 10 minute uber ride to Greenfield Lake Pavilion for live music. The proprietor, while not always onsite, is easily reached by phone - fastest via text. Code to enter each room - speedy wifi - and, hands down, spotless. The only drawback is parking. Free 1 hour street parking to unload then free street parking on a few nearby streets (proprietor communicates those streets ahead of time), or you can purchase a $30/day permit to park on the street in front of the house."

Downtown Luxury Loft

10/10 Excellent

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place was amazing. Perfect location and so clean! The bed was so comfy and the set up was amazing. I will definitely look to rent here again. Heck I wish I could live here. Thank you for the great stay!"

Panoramic River View Downtown Condo W/Balcony

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing condo! Easy check in! Condo was extremely clean, spacious and had the most amazing view of Battleship NC & Cape Fear River. This was our first stay in Wilmington and we would definitely stay at this condo again. Parking garage was close by. You can walk to everything, restaurants were close by on the riverwalk."
