Hotel Details

Location

Historic Downtown Wilmington, steps from the riverwalk and within walking distance of over a dozen restaurants, museums, and Front Street.
The hotel sits in the heart of downtown Wilmington, one to two blocks from the Cape Fear River and waterfront. The historic district is easily explored on foot, with shopping, bars, the Bellamy Mansion Museum (7 km), and the USS North Carolina (12 km) nearby. Wilmington International Airport is 5 km away. No airport shuttle is available, so plan for a taxi or rideshare.

Accommodation

Clean, modern rooms with free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and comfortable beds. Several layout types are available.
Rooms are generally clean and modern, though some units have connecting doors that can allow noise from neighbouring rooms. The air conditioning may be inconsistent and older units have been noted as moldy. Bathrooms lack an exhaust fan and shower curtains are short, so water may spread. No private bathrooms are listed; rooms feature either one or two beds. Some rooms have water views. The overall atmosphere is practical and well-appointed.

Dining

The on-site Bistro serves American breakfast and dinner with vegetarian and gluten-free options, plus a bar and coffee shop.
Breakfast is available daily at an additional $18 per person, with weekday hours from 6:00-10:00 am and weekend hours from 7:00-10:00 am. Menu items include grits, avocado toast, and homemade roasted tomato soup. Dinner runs from 5:00-9:00/10:00 pm. The Bistro also serves kids' meals, wine, and champagne. A Starbucks coffee bar is available in the lobby. Some wait times can occur during peak hours, especially when using a single register.

Wellness and Leisure

Year-round heated outdoor pool with sun terrace, shallow end, and loungers, plus a 24/7 fitness centre.
The outdoor pool is heated and open all year from 08:00 to 20:00. It features a shallow end and sun loungers with towels provided. The fitness centre is free and open 24/7. An outdoor fireplace and sun terrace add to the leisure options. Note that the pool has occasionally been closed during stays, so confirm availability before booking. No spa or hot tub is available.
