Hotel Ballast Wilmington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
Pay attention to the reviews, I overlooked them because of the location and was really disappointed. First room had a broken toilet. Second room was so dirty. You have to pay for parking. No breakfast, no microwaves or fridges in the rooms. But really the worst part was it was so grimy.
