We stay in Wilmington frequently. This was the best hotel we’ve stayed in so far. Convenient, clean, modern, safe. Staff were very friendly. Breakfast was good (basic with hot and cold selections). We will definitely stay again.

Outstanding Stay; I had a fantastic stay at the Hampton Inn Wilmington and can’t recommend it enough! From the moment I walked in, the hotel was noticeably spotlessly clean and smelled wonderful. The location is super convenient—it’s right off the highway, making getting in and out effortless, and there are plenty of great restaurants within easy walking distance. The entire staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout my stay. A huge shoutout to the breakfast team—the breakfast was amazing! What really impressed me was how attentive the staff was; they kept the dining area impeccably clean and were constantly replenishing food as soon as items ran low, ensuring everything stayed fresh and fully stocked. As for the room itself: * Spacious & Smart Layout: The rooms are wonderfully large and roomy without being cluttered by useless furniture. Honestly, most people stay for just a day or two and prefer leaving their stuff in a suitcase rather than unpacking into dressers (which just creates extra work)—this room design completely gets that! * Great Amenities: Having a microwave in the room was a huge plus, and they provided plenty of towels, so I never had to ask for extra. Everything about this stay was convenient, comfortable, and top-notch. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area!

Bring towels and enjoy breakfast. Breakfast is great. Housekeeping is every other day. Our room cleaned and towels refreshed once. We checked in Friday evening and left Tuesday. Tub and ceramic floor are slippery; we purchased a tub mat. We had an infant and senior. We really needed more than 2 sets of towels. Requested towels twice and were lectured as to why we could not have them. Location is fantastic. Very convenient to restaurants, shopping and the beach. We would definitely stay there again and bring our own towels. Hehe
