“The hotel makes its mark with a prime riverside address, capturing views of the Battleship North Carolina, and extends its welcome with diverse on-site dining options, though the absence of in-room refrigerators is a noted drawback. Its position in Wilmington's historic downtown simplifies access to local attractions, while inside, over 18,000 square feet of event space stands ready. A solid choice for those prioritizing location and meeting facilities.”
