Top Shell Island Hotel Reviews

Embassy Suites by Hilton Wilmington Riverfront

10/10 Excellent

"Staff very helpful and friendly. Happy hour was nice. Valet parking was a little complicated not being a techie. Lots to do in the immediate area. Right on the riverfront. Would definitely stay there again."

Holiday Inn Resort Lumina on Wrightsville Beach by IHG

8/10 Good

"Went for a day trip, the food and frozen drinks were good, and the staff was very nice!l. The beach was low key and quiet. My one gripe was having to pay for beach chair and unbrella, but since parking is free I guess that balances out"

Comfort Inn University

6/10 Okay

"The HVAC did not properly work in our room nor in the gym. The gym was so tiny it was hard to move let alone work out and the humidity was high due to the HVAC. The room was damp, you could cut the air. The carpet was damp it just felt all gross due to improper ac. The breakfast was good overall and everything was pretty clean"

Hotel Ballast Wilmington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

4/10 Poor

"I like where the property is located, very beautiful view and lots of things to explore near the hotel. I would definitely stay again in the near future. However the inside of the hotel such be excellent in appearance when it comes to cleanliness, considering the pricing of the stay there. The room #245 where I stayed was not clean upon my arrival. The carpet in the hallways had stains on them, elevator flooring was not mopped, ice machine on the 4th floor did not work, had to go to the 3rd floor for ice, breakfast area off of the main lobby downstairs floors were dusty and not well kept to sit there and eat breakfast. Glass around breakfast tables were dirty with fingerprints, also in the main lobby glass dirty, and guest room, exiting the elevator in the hallways glass were dirty. I feel when you have an elegant property location, it should look and be maintained to support the pricing you charge your guest staying there."

Shell Island Resort - All Oceanfront Suites

6/10 Okay

"The condo I stayed in was in desperate need of an update. In top of the furniture being old and worn out, the bed sounded like a spring was going to come through at any moment. The kitchen didn’t have any silverware. The TV did not have a remote. Hopefully I just had an old unit and others have been updated"
