Top The Cotton Exchange Hotel Reviews

5-Star Downtown Riverview Condo w/Parking

8/10 Good

"Location...Location....Location!! This condo is in a great location! We could walk everywhere that we wanted to go. The condo is very cute and just right for 2 people. It is clean and the pictures are accurate. Our host was very accommodating and easy to connect with. We really liked the little balcony. The only call out I would have is there is a closet in the bedroom but was locked so I am assuming it is being used for supplies. I would stay here again and definitely in this area of Wilmington."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Wilmington Riverfront

10/10 Excellent

"Loved everything about our stay"

ARRIVE Wilmington

"Super cute hotel with a fantastic restaurant and courtyard."

Aloft by Marriott Wilmington at Coastline Center

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and organized well. Bed was comfortable. Parking was convenient and affordable as we just used the parking garage across the street. Bathroom was kinda open lift style so unless you are very comfortable listening to your guest use the bathroom, the room is best for single guests. Cafe and restaurants on the premise. Centrally located. Would book again if I was alone on a business trip."

"This little loft was exactly what we needed! It was super clean and in such a great location. The host thought of so many little details that made the stay so much easier. Would definitely stay again!"

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, comfy bed and wonderful little amenities! Had a cute snack basket, along with bathroom extras (hair ties, cotton swabs and q-tips) that were a great touch! It’s close enough to downtown that everything is easily walkable but not so close it’s too loud. Host was very easy to communicate with and so helpful when needed!"

"Such a great location. Walkable to almost everything in downtown and river. If you are a “OTH” or “summer I turned pretty” very close by serval filming locations of both shows. Would be great for a girls weekend or weekend getaway! We have stayed here several times and will be back."
