Top Forest Hills Hotel Reviews

Shell Island Resort - All Oceanfront Suites

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our time here. I did ask for towels multiple times at the end of our stay and never got them to our room. That was my only caveat."

Holiday Inn Resort Lumina on Wrightsville Beach by IHG

8/10 Good

"Overall the hotel was a great experience. The only ding I had was the elevator. We were there for 6 days and only one elevator worked. For the last two days the working elevator would violently shake while moving and at one point the doors didn’t open fully at first for us. Others said that the broken elevator had been down since January. So the wait to ride it was long and the obvious safety issue was a real concern. They kept making excuses but they had multiple days to fix it with no real plan to do so. Again, the rest of the stay was great, just FIX THE ELEVATOR for safety’s sake!"

Hotel Ballast Wilmington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were clean. The bathrooms were clean. There was no water pressure though in the shower. The carpet in the spiraling staircase downstairs was worn. The drinks at the bar were great. The food at breakfast was excellent. And the location can’t be beat."

Baymont by Wyndham Wilmington

10/10 Excellent

"Hi my husband and I really enjoyed our stay here. Nice well kept budget friendly property. The staff is helpful and very kind. We stayed for 2 nights and we look forward to staying again. We also enjoyed the amenities of having a pool and looked forward to getting up in the mornings for complimentary breakfast. This is why we choose Baymont Wyndham's when we travel it always seems to be the best choice, every time!!"
