Top South End Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Wilmington West - Medical Park by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean . Breakfast was a little buffet ."

Holiday Inn Resort Lumina on Wrightsville Beach by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel had easy access to the beach and has a pool, there’s a bar right by the pool and coffee bar right in the lobby. It’s so convenient. They don’t have a lot of garage parking but there’s parking uncovered. The staff is great at the front desk, housekeeping, the shuttle service. I will say the food onsite for breakfast wasn’t bad, but the wait staff was not as friendly. The room was very clean. All in all it was such a great trip! They do have a resort charge $30/night, so just keep that in mind!"
