Top New Hanover County Hotel Reviews

Golden Sands Carolina Beach Oceanfront, Tapestry by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Overall, we enjoyed our stay. We found the staff very friendly and helpful; they responded quickly to requests. Room was clean but in need of upgrades, especially the bathroom which was small for 2 people and the air conditioner unit which was very loud. Pool area was large and well maintained. While a nice property, it did not meet the standards of a Hilton."

Shell Island Resort - All Oceanfront Suites

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved this place! The sunset on one side and the beach on the other was great. Watching the tide rise and fall on the Cape Fear reserves was a nice surprise. We hadn't been to this area since the early 90's so it was good to be back. Parking at the restaurants was a little tricky, but the Wrightsville area is definitely worth a visit. Our room was a privately owned condo and was nicely decorated, with a small library and games. There wasn't a lot of storage or closet space, but I'm sure every room is different."

Holiday Inn Resort Lumina on Wrightsville Beach by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel had easy access to the beach and has a pool, there’s a bar right by the pool and coffee bar right in the lobby. It’s so convenient. They don’t have a lot of garage parking but there’s parking uncovered. The staff is great at the front desk, housekeeping, the shuttle service. I will say the food onsite for breakfast wasn’t bad, but the wait staff was not as friendly. The room was very clean. All in all it was such a great trip! They do have a resort charge $30/night, so just keep that in mind!"

Trailborn Surf and Sound, Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy

8/10 Good

"The coffee service in the lobby area was pitiful. Staff did the best they could with what was available but paying near $6 for a medium size serving should get you better coffee and a better selection of creamers. You can easily do better."
