Top Wilmington Historic District Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn & Suites Carolina Beach Oceanfront

8/10 Good

"Beautiful location, friendly staff"

Shell Island Resort - All Oceanfront Suites

8/10 Good

"My only grouch is that they do not have coffee available until 8 AM unless you brew it in your room. And if you are like me, I don’t want the kids to wake up the noise of the coffee pot. There isn’t a close coffee spot unless you want to drive. The rooms are old, but we love the price so we can overlook a few things/ but not coffee!"

Golden Sands Carolina Beach Oceanfront, Tapestry by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"This property was great. The property was very clean. There were outdoor games and a great outdoor pool. The property also came with beautiful ocean views. The staff was very friendly and they helpful and asked if you needed anything via text which I loved. There was also a nice area to relax indoors and a gift and snack area."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Wilmington Riverfront

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great. Last time I stayed there I received 2 complimentary drinks at happy hour. Did not get those this time. The hot water was turned off in the bathroom sink. I had to turn it back on. The sink stopper was broken and had to pull it out and lay it on the counter to use sink. Even with those items, I enjoyed my stay."
