"The property is stylish and the location is fantastic, but unfortunately the service was disappointing. At check-in, the woman at the front desk was dismissive and rude. She told us where to park but never explained how to pay the $15/day fee. That evening we found a citation on our car. We later learned it was only a warning, but this could have been avoided with basic instructions. We also weren’t told that housekeeping only comes by request. Our room did not appear thoroughly cleaned,...

Top Cape Fear Museum of History and Science Hotel Reviews

Embassy Suites by Hilton Wilmington Riverfront

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel looks and feels very nice. Beautiful inside, excellent location, several elevators, nice views. Area around is clean, quiet, direct access to the Riverwalk. Our room was large, clean and nice. Beds were comfy, large bathroom and overall nice. The only issue we had was AC - it did not work, but we realised too late. Stuff told us their maintenance crew works 24-7 but we did not bother, it was 11pm when I saw the thermostat temperature. W'eve got 2 free drinks each. Breakfast was great, really appreciate custom omelettes and good coffee. Parking is expensive, $30 for in-out self park, 35 valet. But it's actually $15 for 24 hours in the same parking garage if you just drive in and park one level higher. Which we did."
