Top South Front District Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Wilmington, NC

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect stay"

The Sand Dunes

8/10 Good

"Hotel was great, and right on the beach. Loved that it allowed dogs! Only negative was that I couldn’t sit on the balcony to enjoy the ocean view because the room next door was chain smoking and it allowed dogs blew over. Not a fault of the hotel, but definitely made it not as great. Tried enjoying coffee on the balcony…nope"

Shell Island Resort - All Oceanfront Suites

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved this place! The sunset on one side and the beach on the other was great. Watching the tide rise and fall on the Cape Fear reserves was a nice surprise. We hadn't been to this area since the early 90's so it was good to be back. Parking at the restaurants was a little tricky, but the Wrightsville area is definitely worth a visit. Our room was a privately owned condo and was nicely decorated, with a small library and games. There wasn't a lot of storage or closet space, but I'm sure every room is different."

Hotel Ballast Wilmington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"This place is rather dated and needs several upgrades in the rooms. The sinks are very shallow, no vanity space at. Needs new paint. Staff is friendly and very welcoming. Overall good location close to River walk, battle ship, downtown shops, and the convention center."
