Great Stay

Nothing to complain about here. Parking is adequate, especially for Front St. close to the river walk and all front st. bars and restaurants. We stayed in the Amsterdam room. Comfortable bed and good space for a King room. Giant TV. Breakfast is nothing special but there is enough there if you want to save some money. Check in was super easy. Would definitely stay again.

Liked the quiet and private parking. Did not like extra large bathtub in very small bathroom. With a more appropriately sized tub, the sink could have been placed in bathroom instead of in the sleeping area.

Was expecting more on the Breakfast side of this B&B. Was nothing more than you would get at any other hotel with breakfast included. Do it yourself waffles and pre-made scrambled eggs. That's it. Was was nice but the floor slanted to one side and the toilet paper holder kept falling off.

Christopher

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was poorly furnished with damaged and mismatched furnishings. There was no carpet or rug on the floor. The floor was dusty. The room was noisy at the time of our arrival and for two hours after, due to construction in the basement below our room. I had to mention this to the staff three times before the noise stopped.

The in-room hot tub was broken, the room did not have a microwave. The check-in was a challenge because the owner has made it an email/phone text process. Would have been nice to know that in advance. It has a great location with easy walking distances around Wilmington.

Front street Inn Wilmington North Carolina

Our stay was awesome. The location was great! The inn was clean and well maintained. Loved the back of the inn where you could sit and relax with coffee or alcoholic drinks outside as well inside. It was cool that every table had a fire pit where you could even roast marshmallows for s’mores. The staff was exceptional! Can’t say enough about this establishment!!

Great historic hotel in the heart of it all!

Staff is incredibly friendly & helpful. The room is cute, clean & comfortable. Immediate hot water & great shower pressure! Coffee shop/speakeasy is delicious. Very short walking distance to the riverwalk, restaurants, bars & shops. Highly recommend!

A Perfect Stay in Wilmington

The Front Street Inn was a perfect place to relax for a night on our way to the beach. It was clean, the staff was very helpful, and it is close to the historic downtown. Our room was unique and comfortable. While we arrived too late to have dinner in Wilmington we were able to enjoy a cocktail on the terrific patio. A perfect stay.

Very cozy room, immaculate condition. Wonderful location to walk down to the riverfront. My only complaint would be that the breakfast was lacking, in that all that was offered was a make your own waffle or cold cereal. Some healthier and/or non-sweet options would’ve been wonderful! Other than that, very satisfied with our stay.

A Pleasantly Surprising Find!

My friend and I were very pleasantly surprised with this property. The location is perfect, as it is on the edge of the restaurant/bar area in old, downtown Wilmington. It’s an easy walk to everything. Luckily, we got the only room in this inn with two separate beds. The hotel group that recently purchased this building and two others nearby, did a great job with the renovation. The room was very aesthetically, pleasing, pristine, comfortable, and outfitted with nice amenities, such as a Nespresso, coffee machine, a Netflix account for movie watching, a small refrigerator, and even a package of wet, make up remover towelettes in the bathroom. The staff on site, primarily cleaning personnel, as their hospitality concept makes use of a lot of self-entry/self-service around the property, were all very friendly. The breakfast room provided for more than a continental breakfast which was ample for getting one energized for the day. Somehow, we booked this property at exactly the right time to secure an amazing price for this very comfortable room. We were delighted! This hotel group has, as mentioned earlier, two other properties within blocks of the Front Street Inn. While we only walked by The Verandas; we were given a tour of some of the accommodations in the Greystone Inn property—well done! The rooms are highly aesthetically appealing. We look forward to staying in that property next time we visit Wilmington. Bravo! You are rocking it, Jamie and Ace!!!
