Average, Ordinary

Good stuff: free internet; coffee and tea in the lobby; bedding was fresh, no nasty 100 year old coverlets; there was an indoor pool, but we didn't get a chance to use it Interesting stuff: airport shuttle was actually a local taxi service, that was new Bad stuff: Hallways all had a strange smell, thankfully this did not seem to come into our room; no free breakfast (normally a must, won't book another hotel w/out it in the future) Overall, decent location and an uneventful stay.

Great beach weekend!

The hotel was pretty standard, but the room was amazing! The bed was one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in. As soon as we walked in, we felt relaxed. There was also a ton of vanity space which made it really easy for me to take my time doing my hair and makeup without getting in the way of my husband while he got ready. We were able to enjoy the beach all day and come home to a dip in the hotel pool. It was also a great distance from both the beach and the downtown area. The only downside was the hotel restaurant had very limited hours. Since we were on vacation we weren't paying a lot of attention to time and were disappointed to miss breakfast.

Definitely try The Oceanic restaurant. It is the most incredible place to have dinner. The food is amazing and the view is to die for! We ate outside on their pier and enjoyed the waves crashing below.

Pricey

Distance from hotel to the different parts of Wilmington was all the same,it was easy to drive in all places from there. It was nice extra to have a computer room to use while I stayed at the hotel. In a room I had fridge, microwave, hairdryer. I got morning newspaper daily. I had possibility to cook coffee every morning. The thing I was missing was the opportunity to take early morning swim/hottub at the hotel. Swimming facilities were only open from 10am-10pm. Personal were really helpful and nice. Unfortunately felt I that for the price I payed from the hotelroom was overrated. Otherwise it was a nice, quiet, safe, clean hotel that had a good parking lot, 24h gym and 24h reseptionservice was really good and the whole hotel/restaurant etc. staff.

Wilmington Holiday Inn

Room was very clean, had microwave, refrig. and everything else you would need. Big place, be ready for some long hallway walks to room. Carts are always available in the lobby. Check in and check out were fast and friendly. Good parking provided. Close to all downtown and beach locations.

Within 4 miles of all Cape Fear river attractions and amazing restaurant locations. Georges and the Riverboat shouldn't be passed up.

Nice hotel, Nice area

The hotel was nice, rooms were clean and the staff was helpful. We were a little worried about the pawn shop on one side and a hoo ters on the other Ultimately it turned out to be a very nice location and the ideal launching point for each days adventures since it is centrally located in town and on the main east/west street.

If you are in Wilmington I'd suggest the horse drawn carriage rides downtown. They are educational and fun. You ride around the oldest part of town (the port area) and the driver points out places of interest and provides histories and stories throughout the whole 45 minute ride. Well worth the time and money ($12 for adults, $8 for kids).
