Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Ballast
301 N. Water St., Wilmington, North Carolina, 28401, USA
The nine-story Hotel Ballast, part of Hilton's Tapestry Collection, aptly contains features of both a boutique hotel and a corporate chain. It has direct access to the riverfront boardwalk, it's near downtown shops, restaurants, and bars, and it's just a few blocks from the heart of the historic district. There are 272 standard rooms, some with great views of the river and the USS North Carolina, a vast free parking lot, a trendy outdoor dining and lounge area with a small pool/lounge area, and two on-site restaurants.
PROS
- convenient to river, downtown restaurants, and shops
- short hike up to main part of historic district
- elegantly designed lobby, bar, and outdoor lounge
CONS
- no complimentary breakfast or parking
- only some rooms have river views
- crowded during events and parties
