Sandpeddler Inn & Suites
Place was great. I would give 5 stars but AC wasn’t working. Luckily nights were cool so we left the balcony door open. To be fair, we didn’t say anything to the staff until we left but I would ask the staff before booking if this has been fixed. Otherwise, place was perfect

DoubleTree by Hilton Wilmington, NC
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room and the whole hotel for that matter was very clean. The breakfast that was offered was from Starbucks so it was less than desirable. I will definitely be staying here again!!!
