Holiday Inn Express & Suites Wilmington West - Medical Park by IHG

8/10 Good

"Everything was good and clean. The staff was amazing and very cordial. We will stay there next time because of the hotel's location and the quietness of the hotel and the surrounding area."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Wilmington Riverfront

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel looks and feels very nice. Beautiful inside, excellent location, several elevators, nice views. Area around is clean, quiet, direct access to the Riverwalk. Our room was large, clean and nice. Beds were comfy, large bathroom and overall nice. The only issue we had was AC - it did not work, but we realised too late. Stuff told us their maintenance crew works 24-7 but we did not bother, it was 11pm when I saw the thermostat temperature. W'eve got 2 free drinks each. Breakfast was great, really appreciate custom omelettes and good coffee. Parking is expensive, $30 for in-out self park, 35 valet. But it's actually $15 for 24 hours in the same parking garage if you just drive in and park one level higher. Which we did."

Farmhouse 3 bedroom downtown by River Walk No cleaning fee

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here to be close to the riverfront and it was so perfect! The first road you walk across (3rd street) can be a bit busy so be aware of that, but then it’s a short 10min walk to almost anywhere you want to go downtown. The porch was also used daily for us and was so nice and shady. We couldn’t be happier with our stay from comfort to location to our host Steven’s clear and fast communication. If we ever come back to the area we’d stay here again in a heartbeat."
