Hotel Ballast Wilmington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was super easy to find, check-in was easy and parking was right there on location. We were just a bit disappointed because of all the work going on in the area. We thought we'd be able to walk south along the Riverwalk to the Live Oak Pavilion but weren't able to due to construction. No biggie, we're still planning to come back for a longer visit. The hotel is close to shopping and the spot was super convenient and hotel staff was friendly and accommodating.
Great location, took a quick trip over to Wrightsville Beach and checked out UNCW while we were there too.
Loved the bagel joint across the street and the beautiful sunsets each night, would definitely recommend this place!"
"When I first arrived into the room, it was truly a breath of fresh air. No, literally the room smelt absolutely amazing and super clean I’m like I have ever smelled a hotel room before. I truly knew that they put work in effort into making that room clean For me. The hospitality staff was always friendly from housekeeping, to front desk staff. The open floor locations was always nice and clean and welcoming. Only issue I had was the elevator was tricky. Sometimes it worked, and sometimes it did not. I mentioned it to the Manager though so hopefully they were able to figure out what was wrong with it eventually. It wasn’t an issue for me because it was merely maybe only 14 steps from carpeted stairs within the lobby to the second floor where I was staying. I must offer true kudos to the housekeeping Manager for training their staff well, they do an amazing job, I have never stayed in a hotel so clean before even in crazy fancy hotels. I would most certainly stay here again!!"
