The resort was very clean, even though the rooms felt a bit dated, and the location was exceptional with private access to the beach, something my family truly enjoyed for its convenience and ease.

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!!!

The breakfast was lacking. It could use a bit more to choose from. I didn't see the pool since I only stayed there for one night. The room looked like it had been updated, and I could smell fresh paint. I had a very good stay.
