Holiday Inn Express & Suites Wilmington West - Medical Park by IHG

8/10 Good

"Bed was very soft and a nice surprise. Breakfast was great as well. Front desk staff could've been nicer."

Shell Island Resort - All Oceanfront Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Aside from the expected wear and tear from the humidity and salt water, this property is very well maintained and the staff is top notch. The LOCATION is just to die for. We really enjoyed having the extra half bath. THE VIEWS ARE UNBEATABLE. I would stay here again just for that. Love being at the end of the island/peninsula. Had dinner in the restaurant and the waitress was amazing, food was just as expected.... good cocktail and seafood on an incredible patio setting. Loved having this option and not having to leave for dinner after a long day of travel. The access to the beach is perfect. The room was super cute and again...THE VIEWS!!! I could literally live at this property. Only negative would be there was only one elevator in operation and the upper floor halls were very dated. Otherwise, zero complaints and will be back!"

Best Western Plus Coastline Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Ok so first… the elevator was broken but we knew that going in that we would have to take the heel toe express up the stairs. BUT we had to bring our dog at the last minute and they accommodated us with zero issues. They comped our parking to make up for it. I LOVE staying at this property. The breakfast was not great because of being in the lobby but that’s not usually the case. The people are so nice! Highly recommend."
