Top Wilmington Convention Center Hotel Reviews

Aloft by Marriott Wilmington at Coastline Center

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay - within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and various tour companies. Hotel was clean and well maintained, and the bed was very comfortable. There is a rooftop restaurant with a great view overlooking the river and the Battleship North Carolina. Would stay there again (there is a 25.00 charge per day for parking, 30.00 if you are using valet)."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Wilmington Riverfront

8/10 Good

"Bed & Room was Clean and Comfortable with Refrigerator and Microwave. Breakfast was Good..Frenchtoast, Custom made omelette was tasty. They do protect their sausage links and bacon though by keeping it away from the common bar. Expected Free Self Parking but they charge $29 for Self Parking and $35 for Valet. Good Riverwalk location. Rooftop Kiss the Sky Bar is Superb - they just need better cocktails. Social Hour Reception Area needs to be at a proper bar and Not just one Solo person serving in a walkway area - If you do it, do it properly. But Overall Satisfied with the Stay except for the Parking Charges which are not specified at the time of Booking."

Cozy Houseboat in Port City Marina Wilmington, NC Nestled among The Cove Villas

10/10 Excellent

"This is a wonderful and charming houseboat. Our family enjoyed her thoroughly. The location is ideal for our visit with its view of the Cape Fear River and proximity to good, casual dining and old town Wilmington."

Heart of Downtown Wilmington ILM - Sleeps 12! Sauna, walking distance to a lot.

10/10 Excellent

"We loved this property and the convenient location! Everything was as described and close to the things we wanted to do. I will note that this is a bustling city location and the nightlife can go until 2am. If you are seeking solitude or quiet before the bars close, this might not be it. If you are a heavy sleeper, on a girls/guys trip, there for the nightlife, or just want to be close to it all with amazing accommodations, then this place is absolutely perfect. The host was super easy to communicate with and very responsive."
