Hotel Ballast Wilmington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

ARRIVE Wilmington

8/10 Good

"Very unusual facility is it a hotel, motel, bed and breakfast or none of the above. It's different but in a good way. No easy way to describe it except to say if it's convenient to where you want to be you'll be enjoying old world charm."

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."

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!"

Clean, stylish and appointed with everything you might need to compliment your stay. Curt the host was so nice and quick to respond. Heart of town adjacent to wonderful coffee shops and restaurants.Overall a 10 out of 10 experience!"
