Hotel Ballast Wilmington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
Pay attention to the reviews, I overlooked them because of the location and was really disappointed. First room had a broken toilet. Second room was so dirty. You have to pay for parking. No breakfast, no microwaves or fridges in the rooms. But really the worst part was it was so grimy.

OCEAN FRONT! SUPER CLEAN - see reviews!!! w/PRIVATE boardwalk beach access!
The host was very welcoming. My parents stayed here for the week and it was just right for them. They were invited to stay again, and I'm sure they will. The location was great, but the weather was not, so they didn't get a chance to enjoy the amenities at this rental. Next time!
