Hampton Inn & Suites Wilmington/Wrightsville Beach

We had a great stay at this hotel. It was easy to book our one night stay. The staff was friendly and hospitable. Would stay at this hotel again if ever lucky enough to be in the area in the future.

I made a special request for a quieter room due to having a 1 year old upon booking the room. When I followed up with the hotel receptionist at check in, she told me that since I had booked it on Expedia (I booked it on Hotels.com) that she was only allowed to reserve rooms to those people in one of the access rooms. The access room was small due to access requirements and our room happened to have one of those adjoining doors to the next room over where you can easily hear the other guests conversations. Our neighbors happened to be a lively group wanting to enjoy drinks and what not until after hours. Housekeeping in the morning was very loud. You could hear them at 7:00 a.m. banging trash cans in the hallways. Several guests in the elevator and at breakfast remarked the same thing so was convinced that it wasn't just my irritated mood from the night before. Objectivity is important. Staff had the air of summer time rush and you could tell that they were not in the mood to go the extra mile and more annoyed than anything. The pool and morning breakfast are good points to highlight. Overall, not worth the amount we paid even for the great location. Will try another hotel the next time but will make sure to book it through the hotel versus hotels.com to avoid the room problem in the future. You get what you pay for and I guess paying $230/night still isn't enough. I don't mind paying the extra $15 if this is what hotels require for consideration.

The Hampton staff were great. Very courteous and responsive to our needs. The hotel was always very clean and well managed. The room and bed was comfortable. They have free morning breakfast which was well done. There were only two issues: 1) there really needs to be a fridge in the rooms--how many times do people bring food from a restaurant and need to store it, or maybe you would like to have a nice cold pop in the evening? 2) My wife noticed a small blood stain on the sheet when we got ready to lie down; it was a small drop and was definitely blood. We don't know how it got there--maybe the sheet wasn't changed prior to our arrival--maybe the housekeeper hurt herself while cleaning nd didn't notice it--I don't know. Anyway, it was a great stay from Friday to the following Tuesday. The location was excellent, only about 1 1/2 mile from the beach. Very well located to local businesses. Again, the staff were excellent, the facility was great. I would recommend this hotel.

The lobby was much more attractive and modern than the room. When I entered the room I was somewhat disappointed. The room could use a makeover

We had an amazing time. We were having our 1st cousin's girls weekend. It was perfect.
