The Best Western Plus Coastline Inn is a great hotel. The employees were all friendly and helpful. The breakfast is good with plenty of choices. Beds were comfy, shower is nice and the rooms all have a river view with the battleship in sight. They have a wonderful deck to sit on at the river's edge. The location is perfect for a historic Wilmington visit!

Whats awesome is the great view of the river and a view of the Battleship. Its along the riverwalk. Check in and check out was a breeze. Great selection for breakfast. The room was as expected. Kinda small but definitely fit our needs for 2 of us spending the weekend. The room was super clean. The bathroom doors are weird. No bugs. Comfy bed and pillows. Overall it was a good experience.

This property is located directly on the riverwalk and so convenient to everything in the charming historic district. It looks like an attempt was made to update the accommodations with flooring and linens but fell short somewhere when it comes to the bathrooms. (the walk-in shower had plenty of hot water and an updated rain shower head but the condition of the grout within the shower had it "floating" around while you were showering. The bed and pillows were amazing...the towels plentiful and fluffy - but perhaps the best part beside the location was the gracious staff - which to me is so important to my feeling secure and comfortable when I travel. Someone had said parking was an issue - I did not find that to be so on this trip unless it is the time of year. I also felt it was a secure location and paying a nominal extra fee for parking is usually expected in a large city.

This is an old property. Given the rate, I expected a more comfortable and well-appointed room. The room had a new laminate floor and a decent bed, but the rest of the room felt like a budget hotel. And the bathroom was outdated.
