Best Western Plus Coastline Inn

I went with the reviews and booked this hotel a couple of weeks ago for an event in Wilmington and I couldn't have been happier. We were greeted by a wonderful lady (whose name I believe was Rhoda or i could be totally off) when we arrived who I had talked to on the phone and from that moment forward we had a great time, she was great at helping us get checked in. We were walking distance from the venue our event was being held at so that was perfect and we were also very close to most places we wanted to go to down town. Some folks may have walked to a couple of the restaurants and bars we wanted to hit but we chose to take a very short drive and use public parking. Our room was very clean as I have come to expect with BW and all the staff were very friendly. I guess the only bad thing to mention is the breakfast was not fabulous. It was what looked like microwaved floppy bacon and some sort of pre made eggs BUT they had bagels, yogurt, waffles and other things so I cant fully complain. I just happen to love breakfast so i was a tad disappointed but you can always pay 70 bucks more and stay somewhere else and have a higher quality breakfast. I thought our view was beautiful and the grounds were very nice. If you are looking to stay at some ritzy over hyped hotel then this may not be your place but we loved it and have already looked at planning our next stay. less

We stayed here for a wedding and the staff at the hotel were amazing. Super friendly people who truly cared about the guests. Would recommend this property just because of the staff. From the time we checked in to the day we checked out, anything we needed was taken care of. less

Looked for a half way point for us to meet son. Wilmington was a great place to meet. Time of the year we were here, we were not sure other than beach if there was much to do. YES - USS NC was a great tour if you have never been on a Naval ship. Downtown Wilmington and the River walk are a great way to spend your time. Now a place to stay near everything. This is it and now on our top 5 favorite hotels we have stayed at. Rooms: CLEAN, roomy, and the rain shower in bath was very nice. Staff : Every single person we came into contact with were great and so helpful from the time we booked to the time we left. Location: We liked the area because it was at one end of RiverWalk, so we would walk down by the river and back to hotel going through the shops and Main. We were not into the night life on Main but it did look like everyone was enjoying themselves. Drive to any of the beaches was easy and not far. Price: Compared to others I looked at , they had the BEST price for us at this time. Oh and VERY PET Friendly! Wish we had longer than just a weekend. less

The Coastline Inn met all the basics - clean; comfortable beds and linens; and quiet (despite a wedding party staying there, but this is always luck of the draw). The property is on the site of an old rail yard with a rustic railroad theme including restored train cars that you can tour when the museum is open. We had a view of the Cape Fear River and the boardwalk (most, if not all, the rooms face the river). Coastline was a good choice for my dog and we took a long walk in the late evening (yes, it is safe) and the in the morning on the boardwalk and the central downtown area. Professional, friendly staff. I don't eat breakfast but it looked good and there are a few cafes close by for your espresso fix. BTW, the parking is free which off-set the very reasonable $20 pet fee. I was impressed by how prosperous and vibrant the downtown is. Wilmington looks like it is doing an excellent job of modernizing the city while keeping significant architecture and it's historical vibe. I imagine that at the height of the season it is pretty congested but I timed it just right and the "tourist load" was light. less

Every employee at this hotel was so pleasant! The lady at the front desk, (Rozz I think?) Was so accommodating and helpful on the phone prior to our stay and recognized my name and chatted with me upon my arrival! The housekeeper remembered our daughters each day and said hi to them as we would pass her in the hallway, and the lady who supervised the breakfast room was so nice!! The room was clean, nice, and comfortable! less
