10/10 Excellent

"I like 👍"

Coastal Inn & Suites - Wilmington, NC

Coastal Inn & Suites - Wilmington, NC

6/10 Okay

"The location is few miles to riverwalk or beach and the staff were friendly, but unfortunately those were the only real positives. The hotel itself felt very outdated, with old carpet and a generally mediocre appearance. The in-room AC unit was loud, and there was constant noise throughout the day from people nearby."

Shell Island Resort - All Oceanfront Suites

Shell Island Resort - All Oceanfront Suites

8/10 Good

"This property is in a beautiful location, sitting right on the beach and every room has an excellent view of the ocean and the beach. This is an old property and it shows its age. in my view it’s time to upgrade it, however, because every room is owned by individual owners, it’s up to the owners to choose whether to upgrade it or not. All in all it wasn’t bad but when you are paying over $450 a night you kind of expect a little better than ”not bad”, but I guess you’re paying for the view and the convenience of being right on the beach. Staff is really nice and helpful, having parking is really convenient. Having indoor and outdoor pools is also really nice, though don’t expect to have a relaxing time by the pool, there are bunch of screaming kids at the pool all the time."

Holiday Inn Resort Lumina on Wrightsville Beach by IHG

Holiday Inn Resort Lumina on Wrightsville Beach by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was beautiful! It has a great location and we loved that it was right on the beach. They have a shuttle that will take you wherever you want to go so you don’t have to drive—we really liked that. We had an oceanfront room and loved our view. I do think the hotel is pricey but it’s worth it for everything you get. The food at the restaurant was just ok. We had much better meals at other local restaurants: Oceanic, Blueberry’s grill, Eternal Sunshine Cafe and Bluewater Grill."
