ARRIVE Wilmington

10/10 Excellent

"Very solid property. No complaints"

Chic Downtown Loft - Parking - Central New

10/10 Excellent

"The property is very nice and clean. The directions for the parking garage are a little confusing. A little more detail on where it is located would be helpful."

Aloft by Marriott Wilmington at Coastline Center

10/10 Excellent

"Nice, modern hotel in prime location. I liked the layout of the room. I would stay here again."

The Hive

8/10 Good

"Parking wasn’t free, I had to pay 30.00 a day to park! I parked on the gravel it was tough getting my luggage through the gravels. No elevators."

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

10/10 Excellent

"Such a great location. Walkable to almost everything in downtown and river. If you are a “OTH” or “summer I turned pretty” very close by serval filming locations of both shows. Would be great for a girls weekend or weekend getaway! We have stayed here several times and will be back."

5-Star Downtown Riverview Condo w/Parking

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely loved this condo. The accommodations were cozy and just what my husband and I needed for our 4 night stay. The bed was comfortable, but the shower was the STAR. We were provided with a parking pass and found adequate parking each day. It was in walking distance to tons of dining options and various shops. Kelly was a excellent host, great communication."

Catalina Crib~ Experience Downtown Wilmington Nightlife, Walk to Concerts

10/10 Excellent

"From the moment I stepped into Catalina Crib, I was immediately impressed. The space was exceptionally clean, fresh, and inviting, with no lingering odors whatsoever. Everything was beautifully decorated with thoughtful personal touches that created a warm, welcoming, and home-like atmosphere. I especially appreciated the attention to detail throughout the space. The furniture and bed were comfortable and cozy, and the mini snack bar stocked with delicious treats was such a thoughtful touch. One of my favorite features was the dimmer controls on the lights. I personally experience light sensitivity, so having the ability to adjust the lighting to a comfortable level made a significant difference and truly enhanced my stay. Dee, the host, was absolutely amazing. She was professional, attentive, and incredibly accommodating, making sure I had everything I needed throughout my stay. I felt completely safe, comfortable, and at home from start to finish. I genuinely enjoyed my experience at Catalina Crib and would absolutely stay here again—and again!"

Panoramic River View Downtown Condo W/Balcony

10/10 Excellent

"The views are spectacular. Description of property is accurate. Close to parking garage, town and River Walk. Host accommodate our special request & we were grateful. Note on zone for loading & unloading can be busy. We parked and left hazard lights on & one of us stayed by the car. We heard from one of the permanent residents that he got a 40 ticket cause he moved his car near the front door as his wife had surgery. He was shocked. Just be careful."
