Top Northside Hotel Reviews

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

10/10 Excellent

"It was very nice. It was clean and safe. Good parking. It was a nice continental breakfast. We would stay there again. We had no issues. It is situated well from beaches, the River walk, the USS North Carolina, and interstates"

Oceaneer

10/10 Excellent

"Oceaneer was a great property. It has been updated top to bottom. Lobby is very nice, gym is small but has nice equipment and the room was great. Pool was incredibly nice and it was only a 30 second walk to the beach. We stayed in a king with a separate mini bedroom with bunk beds and a small couch. Only thing I would say oils have improved is a barn door would have been nice to separate the kids space from the adult space. Highly recommended, would stay again."

Hampton Inn & Suites Carolina Beach Oceanfront

10/10 Excellent

"Omg !! This is the place to stay if you want convenience! The price is alittle high, but you are paying for amazing service and convenience . The breakfast could have better options but overall, I love this place !! Excellent views. I didn't have to leave my room to see the sunrise nor the moon rising !!"

Fairfield Inn & Suites Wilmington / Wrightsville Beach

10/10 Excellent

"the Staff at this Fairfield Inn was outstanding. From the woman who checked us in initially to the day staff desk lady to the evening stay gentlemen, all three were helpful, went beyond what was asked. I wish I knew their names so I could identify them personally. One thing which could identify them was that my daughter and I were moving her from NC to UT. WE had 2 containers of a great Grandmother's china which we were delivering to friends in NC to store until cousins from Richmond, VA came to retrieve the china. We had not been able to connect with our friends in a timely way. The young g man at night checked the meeting g schedule and helped us get the dishes stored for one day. He was so eager to help us and to make this work. WE also have to mention Val in the dining area. She knows how to cook eggs and bacon correctly! I told her I travel a LOT and she is a "first" to not serve runny scrambled eggs! She was also very pleasant and friendly. Out hotel stay was SUPERIOR!!!!"
