Our stay at the Best Western Plus in Wilmington, NC was truly delightful. The location is excellent, especially for those traveling with pets—there's a convenient little pet park right next to the hotel, which was a thoughtful touch. Every room offers a gorgeous view of the Cape Fear River and the iconic USS North Carolina battleship, making mornings feel especially peaceful. The rooms were clean and comfortable, featuring a large TV for winding down after a day of exploring. Breakfast was plentiful and tasty, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. A special shoutout to Ashley, who kindly helped us relocate from the first to the second floor out of concern for potential flooding. Thankfully, everything turned out fine—but her support gave us peace of mind during a rainy evening. Highly recommended for travelers seeking scenic views, pet-friendly amenities, and genuine hospitality. .review?

Superb

We loved our stay. The location was amazing with a spectacular view of the river. The room was clean, the bed was so comfortable we wanted to take it home. The pillows weren’t the normal small flat pillows we usually find in hotel rooms. The front desk ladies were super nice and helpful. The only thing negative I would have to say is I didn’t like paying to park in their parking lot. A pool would have been nice even though I knew it didn’t have one when I booked it. There wasn’t enough towels in the room and if you wanted the room serviced you had to request it. I always take our own towels because no hotel gives you enough. These are not reasons I would not recommend staying there. I’d recommend it to anyone and will definitely stay there again.

Very nice hotel and great location on the Boardwalk. Great little dog run, too. Our room was not very large, but everything fit well and was designed just right - there was a place for everything.

Good location, hotel just OK

The good points were good location and nice desk staff. Room size was adequate, which included a small fridge and coffee maker (no tea). AC had to work hard in the summer heat but room stayed cool. Bed, linens and pillows were OK but showing signs of wear. The Riverwalk behind the hotel was lovely. Unfortunately, the shower had very moldy grout that badly needed replacing. The outlet in the bathroom was not functional (we informed the desk clerk of these problems after check in ). Bathroom doors showed evidence of prior water damage that had been painted over. Deadbolt to room did not engage. Room service was not provided daily but perhaps this was due to short staffing on a holiday weekend (additional towels and such were available at front desk). Breakfast area is very small and options were just OK. For those interested in cooling off, this hotel does not have a pool.

This Hotel is very clean, quite, and a great location on the riverfront. My wife and visit Wilmington alot, we have just found a perfect location for a quite getaway. We loved our room located on the 1st floor looking out on the river, and across to the U S.S North Carolina. Yes we will be staying here again in the near future. 10 out of 10 Stars.

Overall ok but be aware of pet fee and parking.

The staff was super helpful. The room was clean and looked to be updated. The location was great. I only had two issues. One was parking. While it did have parking it was limited because it was a small lot that was shared with two other places. The second was the pet charge. One I had a service dog so normally I don't need to pay those. But most places have a cleaning fee anywhere from 30-70 dollars. Theirs was 150 and it was not posted anywhere when I reserved the room. Hell when I stayed at the hyatt a few months ago theirs was only 50. I didn't find out till I checked in the the fee was $150. So be aware of that if your traveling with your pet.

Good visit. Elevator was out while we were there and had to walk up several flights. The door to the room did not latch and therefore the room could also not be locked. Discovered this after sleeping overnight. Door open outside to balcony so this made us feel unsafe in retrospect. River view and location were great tho!
