"The door entrance you sent via a picture was not the main door. I then walked around and found the lockbox. I had requested if some lights could be on because I had a late arrival at 10pm and they were not. The dock to the patio to get in is a bit far from the dock. You should have a handrail built there especially since you don’t allow the boat to leave. Using a hose that hangs from the ceiling to balance myself carrying my luggage to the patio is very unsafe.

"Wonderful place to stay for visiting downtown Wilmington or seeing a concert at Live Oaks. Perfect stay. Comfortable beds. The only thing I would improve is room darkening bedroom curtains. Especially the upstairs Kings face the lighted walkway between the two rows of house boats. Those lights are bright and light filtering blinds do very little to help a dark living sleeper sleep!"

"Very nice Houseboat and well appointed. We loved the rooftop deck and ability to hear the music from Lulu’s across the ICW from the marina. One issue with unloading and loading the vehicle was the pretty long walk to the boat from parking. There’s a roadway right down to the dock but guests are unable to access that road. We stayed 1 night and it was a very nice stay just a couple procedures which are unique to the boating world!Thank you!"

The Francis Marion Hotel

The Francis Marion Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We enjoyed the historic character of the hotel. All the staff we interacted with were friendly and helpful. The location is excellent and we walked all over the city even at night. We ate breakfast at the restaurant twice and I highly recommend it. The food quality is very high and the staff so welcoming."
