Hotel Ballast Wilmington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good
"The rooms were rather small but they were very clean. The staff at the front desk was very helpful. The toilet ran all night long which I had to tell them about in the morning and we had to have maintenance come upstairs to unstop the sink. Also the heat did not work at all."
