Top Children's Museum of Wilmington Hotel Reviews

Hotel Ballast Wilmington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"The room was nice. Very good service at the resturants. Great river view. Convenient to downtown Wilmington."

Best Western Plus Coastline Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Ok so first… the elevator was broken but we knew that going in that we would have to take the heel toe express up the stairs. BUT we had to bring our dog at the last minute and they accommodated us with zero issues. They comped our parking to make up for it. I LOVE staying at this property. The breakfast was not great because of being in the lobby but that’s not usually the case. The people are so nice! Highly recommend."

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property!!! Look forward to returning again soon."

artsy downtown river view condo

8/10 Good

"The apartment itself could not be more charming, and Mary could not be more responsive and easy to deal with. The apartment was spotless and the beds were super comfortable. The location is perfect for people who want an immersive downtown Wilmington experience and there In lies the only possible drawback. Because it is over a bar it is loud every night until 2 am even in October. The bedroom facing front street is less so. I have a sleep mask with sound and I sleep with it every night and it worked perfectly. But the ear plugs won’t cut it. Also, be aware, if you are older or have an older pet, the stairs from the parking lot are a bit treacherous. I don’t believe that is Mary’s responsibility but rather that of the building owner but guests should be prepared. We enjoyed our stay nonetheless"

Stemmerman Suite on Front! Perfect location in the Heart of Downtown!
