We felt so relaxed in this beautiful bed and breakfast The decor was modern and chic – it has given us inspiration for decorating our own home We were so impressed with the room! It was bright and cozy and with such stunning views of the surrounding lush garden

The staff members were friendly and helpful Although there were other guests, it was very quiet and calming in the house The lingering smell of essential oils and the house blended lavender and citrus teas were special treats for the senses I especially loved the commitment to sustainability and low environmental impact – it seemed to influence every decision that went in to creating this one of a kind experience

Kate Sykes

Dreamers Welcome was a DREAM COME TRUE!! Owners Anna & Ross went above and beyond for our group that was staying in downtown Wilmington We were there for a commercial photoshoot on their property for a women’s fashion brand They clearly communicated with me leading up to our stay

Their staff that was there on arrival was incredibly friendly, helpful and welcoming Anna & Ross even made sure their landscapers came by to freshen up the grounds before we started photography outside! Breakfast was delicious, and we arranged a catered lunch with their private chef who accommodated all of our needs and diets! The mocha brownies were talked about for days after by our group!! All of the rooms are beautiful, clean and well appointed Would absolutely stay here again – GREAT and charming location in downtown Wilmington, very relaxing and enjoyable! Thank you Dreamers team!! Y’all are amazing!!

Aubry Cockrell

This stay was excellent! The room was very clean, the house was quiet, you can come and go as you please; absolutely perfect It is centrally located and takes about a 10 minute walk to get to some of the best restaurants and shops in the city As a young female solo traveler I felt very safe here! I liked the 2 way communication between you and the host as well! 10/10 would recommend and stay here again

Erica Johnson

Decent rooms Excellent breakfast Was overcharged for parking and they said they would fix it so we will see

Complimentary drinks at the nightly guest reception are a plus Guest room toilet could have been cleaner The excellent breakfast and complimentary drinks made me not regret booking this particular hotel Overall I would stay there again but would be more careful about the parking situation and would like for them to clean the toilet a little more thoroughly If they did that, it would be perfect

Shannon Stiles

We enjoyed a wonderful stay last week Our room was very nice with a great ocean view As always, the grounds were exceptionally maintained and attractive

We were especially impressed with the concierge She approached us in the lobby to share great info regarding hotel activities and local eateries We followed one of her suggestions and are so happy we did All employees were friendly and professional The location is great too

Samuel Lang

Wow what a great place for our family of 6 with our teenage boys Surf to sound in walking distance from the Beach to the Sound in a few minutes, this was one of our best beach vacations in the US We can recommend this beach experience as outstanding

The resort services are endless and the personal super friendly and helpful The rooms are beautiful decorated and the whole hotel is a unique experience for people who love family owned boutique hotels with special charm and character We have had happiness all around during this vacation! Thank you for this great experience Blockage Runner crew!

Gretchen Black

Loved our stay here! Such a historic place They are starting some renovations but our room was lovely Breakfast was wonderful

You really need to take the time to look at all the work that went to this place considering how long ago it was built From the doors, wood working, the imported Italian marble, it makes you wonder what it was like to be to live there in the early 1900sWill def stay again!

renee gleason

This property is being renovated and not serving breakfast We were notified 2 days prior that breakfast would not be served but didn’t realize one whole end of the house was being renovated (gutted) and quite a bit of noise until 5 pm

We had a fire alarm on day two because of an issue at renovation site Fortunately, no fire The staff was very helpful, upgraded our room, which was comfortable, helped with bags, etc Photos of the lovely porch are misleading Ceiling fans falling apart, one corner end has a large wooden structure supporting it Before you visit, make sure renovation is complete

Charles Engbers

We only stayed one night but the room was GREAT! Spacious room and bathroom It’s right in the middle of the historic district and walking distance to the waterfront and many restaurantsIn addition, the room was the same price or cheaper than other local hotels/motels making Graystone a total bargain

Breakfast was included and included several great home-made items made and served by the owner We’ll stay here again for sure Rich was a great host Thank you again Rich and Marcia

This is in regards to the Waterway property The room we rented was not clean at all The amount of dust indicated the room has not had a good cleaning in months

The entire floor was sticky and gross We didn’t even want to take our shoes off in the room The shower was disgusting My wife wore flip flops while showering since it was that filthy We were about to go to bed and pulled back the blankets That is what caused us to not stay here The beds were full of hairs, crumbs, and sand It was clear the bedding was not washed or changed between different renters staying at the property That was a huge turn off for us I have stayed in many homes, condos, and hotel rooms during my travels along the east coast This is by far the worst quality stay we have had anywhere Avoid this place, I couldn’t recommend it to anyone There is a reason they always have vacancies while everyone else is booked up Don’t think of giving it a try and receiving a refund if it is not a nice place We contacted the manager who was very rude We asked for a refund and she said there is no way she can give us a refund since we signed a contract Funny how that contract doesn’t guarantee a clean environment at the rental

Ryan Vellia

Honestly a steal for the price based on the hospitality alone Stephanie was a great host and within 10 minutes of being there we already knew where to go and what to see The location is awesome, and since they provide a parking pass you can just park in the street and walk most places without any worries

The rest of the staff we dealt with was also super helpful but Stephanie is like the house mother to everyone who comes through, so dope! Thanks for a great couple of days!

Glorija

The best beach in NC, IMHO and given the locations we’ve visited thus far One of a few beaches where waves are low and toddlers are safe to wade Tons of shells and tide pools make for great fun with little kids in tow

The hotel has amazing views, solid room setup and the pools and hot tubs we absolutely loved The bar had decent eating and drinking options too Highly recommend, especially with kids!

Jamie

Great spot at the end of the strip so the beach isn’t super crowded however you are more than a walk to the local night life if that’s what you like The hotel attracts mostly families with young kids and us two pools This is an affordable family location in a safe pretty spot

The draw backs are the age of the hotel It doesn’t seem to be update or kept up Our mattress was springy you can see nail holes and scuff marks on every piece of trim Rust dirt hallways with paint chips everywhere Overall I can overlook all that for the location but the staffing is an issue It seems like I’m my four days here they have the same tired overworked employees running the desks They are super friendly but you feel bad for them The bar/restaurant isn’t worth your time(if you can even catch them in the brief few hours they are open) Expect overpriced Denny’s food and a wait staff/bar tenders with no personality If you want the beach at low cost for this are then she’ll island is your place I think they could turn this place around with a fresh menu, some more employees, a little paint and elbow grease and actually open up the amenities they have downstairs I gave three stars because it is a good location and there are some employees who are trying their hardest to keep the guests happy I took two stars off for the upkeep of the hotel and the noise level in the rooms as well as the poor experiences with the restaurant

Anna Autrey

We’ve come here for decades Great location Terrible rooms

the past two years, the linens and finishes in the rooms are just not acceptable We arrived last night and found stained bed linens and hair in the sheets Walked down to the front desk and had to wait on clean linens Apparently they were “out” and some needed to be laundered? When they arrived, we received queen sized sheets we were on the top floor in a king suite The paint is pretty nasty on all trim, doors, high-touch areas It’s just hard to pay nearly $400 per night for a place that feels forgotten and dirty To the owner of unit 914: yuck I feel like such a special place we’ve treasured for years is just a nasty hotel with great views and oceanfront location Yuck

Sarah Price

Let me start by saying I wish I could give this hotel 10 stars for service – they went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional! We drive a semi-truck, which they were extremely helpful in assisting us with parking They let us check-in 6 hours early and even though our room wasn’t ready, allowed us access to everything at the “resort” while we waited The bell staff were by far the best I’ve ever experienced

They were very friendly, offered helpful suggestions, and went out of their way to make our stay perfect The shuttle driver even took us to a shopping center outside their normal area because he “really wasn’t that busy” 😊 The restaurant, bar and coffee shop all had delicious food/drinks with friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating servers The hotel has a beautiful view of the ocean on one side and the city on the other There is a gorgeous pool area, spacious deck, and direct beach access They offer chairs and umbrellas for rent to use on the beach, and lounge chairs and hammocks for free use on the property The room was clean, comfortable, and modern with a private balcony They also have laundry services, covered parking, outdoor dining, and an event counter This is probably the best stay I have EVER experienced!! Well worth every penny!!

Jimmy Holmes

Attended the North Carolina manufactured homes association annual convention located on site As many post have noted the construction going on But looking forward the resort Is really going to be a beautiful place Just noticing some of the work going on they seem to have some very talented contractor and designers

I would suggest call ahead and question how the construction might affect your stay My stay was all business had a good nights rest the room was clean and all new And the staff was top notch

SANDRA ROSE

We were super excited to visit this resort due to the amenities listed on the website and paid substantially more than usual for lodging for the upgraded experience However, none of the amenities we were expecting were available due to contruction I know renovations are sometimes needed but it would have been better received if someone had notified us prior to our stay of what to expect as I assure you the price was not adjusted to compensate for the experience

Neither restaurant or the bar on the premises was open The indoor pool and one of two hot tubs were closed the entire stay The outdoor pool was closed part of the stay We were awoken each morning to the sound of a saw cutting floor tiles outside our balcony We were unsure of why “pool closed” signs were around the outdoor pool the entire stay even when the staff would say it was open Then we noted the power tools plugged into extension cords surrounding the pool area where kids are playing and swimming I guess the signs are to protect the facility from litigation should someone get hurt or electrocuted The bed was comfortable and the room clean but that’s where the pros end If the the management is truly sorry as indicated in these other reviewer responses, why not make sure your customers are made aware of the ongoing construction instead of just taking their money

Stayed here for an air bnb Definitely wouldn’t have stayed had my wife and I not split the price with another couple The location is very convenient for downtown and has a great view of the Battleship with a cute little balcony to sit in/on

Place seemed clean for the most part One of the blankets had some dirt on it where you could tell it hadn’t even properly washed if at all It was cute, really, but definitely overpriced

Marquis Mclean

To place seemed to need a little bit of love, stove light didn’t work, The door keypad kind of just did its own thing always took atleast 3minutes to get into the room because of it, sink drained slow the hallway lights were mismatched I only informed them of the hanging fire alarm and that was the only time I didn’t get a reply other then that it was pretty comfortable

Barb Stoops

i have not stayed at Water Street but was interested Unfortunately, I have not been able to get a response to my questions I tried to email but the email address given is apparently incorrect

I have also called twice and could not immediately get an answer to 2 simple questions They took my phone number and said they would call back Never did This lack of response has made me decide to not pursue a reservation If customer service is this bad, I certainly would not make a reservation

Dan Gehling

Very nice golf track! Played several times in February Place is well maintained with nice greens (Bermuda), impeccable sand traps, fairways, rough, and tees as you’d want Relatively narrow in many spots, more water than you might want, many greens have a slope away on your approach, so bring your short game! Highly recommend this course!

Dena Dooley

Quiet, but rooms need to be updated We had issues with the toilet and no maintenance on staff Desk clerk left us with a plunger rather than move us to another room

Quick service by maintenance the next morning when the issue recurred Still not fully happy about that whole situation 5 miles from Caroling Beach Boardwalk which was nice Nice quiet pool area only open for guests

Kim Little

Beautiful place with tons of Southern Charm Extremely affordable, private pool for guests only 5 miles from the beach

Wonderful and friendly staff Separate living room with TV and great WIFI Kitchen area had fridge, microwave and coffee maker with coffee and add ins available Bathroom had a double sink and the shower had great water pressure Patio off the back of the room with a beautiful view Nice and quiet, safest location possible Nestled at the back of a subdivion

Cole Tillett

I visited the Worth House bed and breakfast and was immediately impressed! We were greeted by the owner who helped us with our luggage and gave a tour of the grounds The landscaping is all very well maintained, and the backyard is a great hangout spot after a long day There are lawn games and plenty of seating amongst the flowers and brush

The inside is wonderful as well The house is all very well put together, clean but still keeps the charm of its history The rooms were all spotless and spacious, with plenty of amenities that you would find at any other hotel or any other bed and breakfast We did not get a chance to see or hear the other guests as it was all very private which we appreciated! The breakfast was absolutely delicious and made to order The wine that was provided in the common area was such a nice touch It is very evident that the owners have put a lot of time and effort into running this bed and breakfast Through my conversations with the owner he and his wife care about the area, its history and the guests that stop by This is an amazing option that I would recommend to anyone visiting the Wilmington area

warren collins

Jeff & Jen have done a magnificent job of making the CW Worth House a wonderful destination! All their hard work has resulted in a welcoming, comfortable and beautiful inn that absolutely delighted us! The location is perfect

We took a walk each morning to enjoy the neighborhood’s history (and didn’t come close to seeing it all!), walked to lunch/dinner in the historic downtown and were close to all the tourist activities we wanted to take in Breakfasts were phenomenal! We stayed four nights and had something new and delicious each morning (even our picky eater — not naming names — found breakfast tasty!) Our room had recently been updated and was exquisitely decorated We are already planning our next visit!!!! Dan & Cat

Elizabeth Rutland

My husband and I stayed for a weekend getaway a few weeks ago Jeff and Jenn were excellent hosts Jenn’s breakfast was incredible each morning

The Garden room had a lovely makeover and was very clean This was our first stay at a B&B and it was the best experience They are also located very close to Riverfront and all downtown offers We walked downtown each night The Inn was so relaxing and we cannot wait to come back to enjoy more of it!!!

Tom Hale

I wanted to love this hotel Fellow guests were great, atmosphere was great Breakfast was awesome, three waffle makers

Three issues – TV didn’t work, the front desk came and fixed it But once I turned the TV off, I couldn’t get it working again in the morning The second issue was the cleanness of the bathroom I have a two hair rule, this bathroom and shower exceeded that by four hairs The third was the glaze on the ottoman in front of the coach Not even going to speculate on that one

Giulia Restrepo

I had a really good experience with this hotel Home2 is always one of my favorite Hilton brands for longer stays since they have a full(ish) kitchen in the rooms The hotel was clean and quiet

The service was great All of the staff I encountered were friendly and helpful I also love that they are pet friendly, as I was traveling with my cats during a relocation

Meagan G

I’ve stayed at this hotel 3 times now, it’s one of the best hotels I’ve stayed at, especially for the price! Nice low average cost for what they offer and etc Walking into the room, it smells so fresh and clean and very cute and updated ( you know how some hotels are stuck in the past with their ugly designs lol, not this place! ) , you forget you’re at a hotel! The hotel it’s self is very pretty with a nice seating area The rooms are very spacious and have full body shampoo etc in the glass showers

Has a great variety of hot and cold breakfast items Love the waffle bar! I also like that they over turkey sausage items( I don’t eat pork ) The front desk people have always been so friendly and nice, and I’ve never had an issue! 10/10 would recommend

Victoria Schoenly

What a fantastic hotel! I’m a lifetime elite member, but I never assume anything, and rarely ask for anything extra To my complete surprise, we got an upgrade without even asking, fantastic service, and the rooftop tapas bar was fantastic The front desk associates were so helpful every time we had a question, the parking was easy (we chose self-parking), and the location was highly walkable

Everything about this hotel was superlative, and I recommend it highly Great location, fantastic food, just lovely all around!

Rae R.

The location of this hotel is incredible It is right on the river walk and close to all of the restaurants and shops We didn’t even have to use our car during our stay

The rooms were beautiful and ours had a great view There is also a nice rooftop bar and a lot of fun games and lounging areas downstairs and outside If we come back to Wilmington we will definitely be staying here again!

Tracey Shrouder

I stay in Aloft hotels any time I can They are usually a great way to make sure you are in the heart of a city and in walking distance to everything This one is super cute and was made into old mill buildings

Near the water and adorable, with a great outdoor space No pool in this one, and the parking is a little challenging I think my issue here is that the staff are not overly accommodating, where previous Aloft stays they seemed to bend over backwards The valets were the only friendly part, staff wise Great breakfast Comfortable beds

I can’t speak on the average night stay, however we recently had our wedding there and if I could scream it to any bride considering having their event there I would beg her to turn around and run From the beginning after the contract was signed it was nearly impossible to get responses from our event Coordinator, and if we had multiple questions after a week we may get one response and still have to follow up with the other questions Trying to schedule our detail appointment took almost a month of back and forth and having to reschedule because of all the lack of communication

We did an all inclusive package but I immediately regretted not being able to outsource services as I got about the same response from the florist included Although my flowers turned out beautiful they were nothing like I had asked for or shown The signage was also wrong the day of, and my mother in law tried to have it corrected but was told nothing could be changed without the sales coordinator who wasn’t in yet, so the signs stayed incorrect which led to guests entering late on the ceremony The day of the wedding my event coordinator didn’t contact me all day to where an hour before the wedding I had to reach out to her to ask her what the plan was and in the end I missed my entrance due to being left in a separate room and ended up having to run to my entrance late, fluster disheveled Not a single decent picture was taken of me walking down the isle She left maybe 30 minutes into the reception, where we had to constantly ask the kitchen staff for assistance with anything I will say the food was amazing and the kitchen staff was so friendly and accommodating to help us the rest of the evening so they’re really the only reason I didn’t give a one star The baker that was used was also wonderful, the cake was exactly what we talked about and the communication was quick and professional All in all the venue is beautiful and the food is amazing, but do not hold an event there!

I enjoyed the locate and the view from the hotel There were some surprising details like no coffee machine in my room, and the conditioner container was empty, no microwave With the luxury price of the room I wished that there was a little more attention to detail

It felt as though it was a old hotel aiming for a face-lift Outside of that the staff was so kind, beautiful restaurant and in walking distance to downtown

My experience here was excellent Mrs Erica at the front desk showed exceptional customer service and professionalism! We told her we were visiting from Texas and she made sure that everything was lined up for us

She went above and beyond and I will never forget her kindness after a long, hard trip The hotel is beautiful and the rooms are nice I will definitely be back

Great location, only a 5 minute drive to the beach, surrounded by grocery stores, restaurants, and other shopping Ample free parking, clean modern lobby Hotel staff was very friendly

The room was clean, but outdated Popcorn ceiling, stucco walls The bathroom floor had cracked tiles, the chair was stained as was the lamp shade over the beds I feel like most beach hotels are of this same veinOverall, it wasn’t bad, but I would check out other Hilton properties in the area before staying here again

We stayed in the Junior Suite here customer service was great I love Hilton Garden when traveling They are always clean and Customer Service is always great and I know there is nothing to worry about when I stay here

We were only about a 5 min drive from the ocean as well and also pretty much next door to shopping, dining, and movies Thank you for your excellence ✨️

I was born and raised in Wilmington but have since moved to Dallas, TX I came back to town for my father’s funeral Front desk personal was very pleasant and helpful, especially Tom when I checked in

But, there was no TV remote in my room and when I picked up the phone to call the front desk about the remote the phone was not working Then when I was checking out I was informed that breakfast was not complimentary What? What kind of hotel, where honestly you’re paying higher prices just due to the fact it says Hilton on the sign, doesn’t have a free breakfast? There are nicer hotels in the area that you can stay at that are the same price if not cheaper I would give 0 stars if I could It made an already hard weekend even harder Tom was great and so was Jasmine in Housekeeping

Urbane Collective

Everything was perfect about our visit The ease of communication, remote check in, and parking The room was lovely

Very tasteful, modern and clean decor You can not beat the location; downtown, by the river walk yet serene and peaceful Loved the small touches that set a part a small boutique hotel compared to others Everything was 5 star worthy

Gina Herring

Every aspect of my stay exceeded my expectations Something that really added a special touch was the wine in my room after a really long day The room was clean and spacious

The staff were very friendly and attentive The inn it self is located in a great location, close to nice restaurants and shopping or a walk along the river Or just enjoy the quiet time at the Inn I would highly recommend the Front Street Inn, if you are planning a trip to the Wilmington area

I meant to write this last week, but I forgot My parents and myself were looking for a last minute hotel in Wilmington last weekend…on a Saturday

Everywhere decent was $200+! Super long story short, my mother and I were very indecisive and went back and forth from this hotel three times before deciding to stay At one point, we got as far as almost swiping our card for our rooms! We worked with Brandon each time He was incredibly professional and accommodating and didn’t get upset at all when we kept changing our minds There is no way that I could’ve done that! He understood and was very patient With all the pricing being so high, the reason that we chose to stay here was because of our experience with Brandon! He is just awesome! We had a great experience!

Had a long workday and check in went just fine My room was cleaned without me even asking That was a surprise, they even made my bed for me 🙂 Also this place is in a nice location, it has a Starbucks nearby as well as restaurants and a few shops

The room was clean, smelt nice and wonderfully decorated There were a few dings on the wall but no big deal 🙂

Chris Sanders
