Hotel Ballast Wilmington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
No. The poolside was not comfortable. The chairs are old and the whole hotel needs a refresh.

Property and staff were great! Room was clean. The beds are my only issue. They are so very hard. Not the most comfortable to sleep on but the price of the room was very reasonable.
