Top South End Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Resort Lumina on Wrightsville Beach by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Our suite was incredibly clean and the staff has been very helpful and friendly! They had many useful amenities and we had an amazing view of the beach! I would say it was well worth the trip and the money. 10/10 would go again!"

Shell Island Resort - All Oceanfront Suites

8/10 Good

"The staff was excellent. However, the room was disappointing. The furniture was very old and dirty and the rugs on the floor were filthy. The outdoor furniture was very cheap and uncomfortable. There was no place to plug a phone in near the bed because the outlet was behind the headboard and not accessible. A simple extension cord would have been great."

Comfort Inn University

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel. I had no major complaints; it provided for all of my needs during my week stay in Wilmington. The location was excellent since it is just down the street from UNCW campus. The rooms had a slight odor of mildew because of the constant AC. It was not possible to dry clothes in the room on a hanger due to the high humidity inside the room. There were also lots of constructions workers staying at the hotel each night - this could have been only a temporary thing. Nevertheless, the workers did not bother me. I loved the free buffet breakfast provided each morning by the hotel. Very nice!"
