Holiday Inn Express & Suites Wilmington West - Medical Park by IHG

8/10 Good

"Very clean, staff are great ,parking in the front or back of building, breakfast can use an upgrade more variety in the way the eggs are done"

Hampton Inn & Suites Carolina Beach Oceanfront

10/10 Excellent

"This was a perfect family getaway and our first time to Carolina Beach! Wonderful location with walking distance to the Boardwalk. Spacious suite with ocean views, delicious breakfast buffet. The bartender at the Tiki Bar made a drink for me that wasn’t on the menu and it was a real treat! Fireworks on the beach on our last night was the best ending. Thank you!"

Trailborn Surf and Sound, Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy

8/10 Good

"Like the convenience to access the beach. Did not care for valet parking. Needs to increase frequency of cleaning, saw debris on the hallway carpet that lasted about a day, The towel collection bins were overflowing. Garbage bins overflowing. Pool bathrooms can use more frequent cleaning. Lack of sufficient number of water filling station and ice, should be in very floor. The bathroom sliding door was broken. The AC unit is extremely loud. The partition in the shower is two small lots of water spill outside the shower."
