ARRIVE Wilmington

4/10 Poor

"This was an unusual property with several unfriendly quirks. First is parking. It is done across the street in a third party lot. You have to go through a ridiculous procedure to register your car. The hotel should make this easier. Next the room. The front door is 90% clear glass. In order to gain some privacy, you have to pull a drape completely across another glass panel and the door. In the room there is a money making minibar situation with snacks and yet no coffee machine and no access to coffee other than the adjacent restaurant when it is open. Also there is no ice machine. How can you not have an ice machine available for your guest? And why not have one of those automatic coffee machines in the 24-hour open lobby? Very disappointed in this hotel and will not be staying here in the future."

Cozy Houseboat in Port City Marina Wilmington, NC Nestled among The Cove Villas

10/10 Excellent

"The facility was everything we expected and more in terms of presentation, safety, cleanliness, comfort, location, and views.The host was in contact prior to arrival, during our stay, and did a follow up after checkout. The host was very attentive, provided great info about the area, and ensure that all our needs were met and they were available to assist if needed. They provided water and snacks which enhanced our arrival after a long trip. We have shared information about this vrbo options with friends and would definitely book with them again.MANY THANKS and HATS OFF for a job well done and excellent guest services..."
