This 53-room riverfront hotel is an excellent budget option, next door to the Wilmington Convention Center and a few minutes' walk from historic downtown. Every room has views of the Cape Fear River, as well as amenities like flat-screen TVs, large mini-fridges, and coffeemakers with free coffee. Suites with separate living rooms and microwaves are also available. In a third-floor breakfast room, a full spread of hot and cold items is free every morning, and there are small business and fitness centers on the premises. A pier and dock in front of the hotel are open to the public, and the hotel's walkway connects to Wilmington's River Walk. All in all, this is a great pick for the price and location. The nearby Hotel Ballast Wilmington is another riverfront option; it has more features (like on-site restaurants), but also higher rates.

The mid-range Wingate by Wyndham Wilmington offers good value in a convenient location -- it's a 10-minute drive to downtown Wilmington and to the beach. Though decidedly chainlike, interiors are inviting enough, plus guests routinely remark about the high levels of cleanliness. All of the 101 rooms have sitting areas as well as microwaves, mini-fridges, and coffeemakers. A free breakfast buffet includes hot items, plus there's an evening reception with free drinks and snacks several times a week -- though there's no restaurant, bar, or room service. Other features include a seasonal outdoor pool, a small fitness room, an indoor hot tub, and two meeting rooms. For bigger suites with full kitchens, check out the nearby Staybridge Suites Wilmington East, which offers nearly the same amenities at slightly higher rates.

The 274-room, upper-middle-range Hotel Ballast Wilmington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton is a corporate hotel in downtown Wilmington located right on the Cape Fear River. Rooms, which include free Wi-Fi and excellent mattresses, aren't the freshest in the Hilton chain, and some accents like frilly bedskirts and heavy drapes look outdated. There are two on-site restaurants, a fitness center, and multiple meeting spaces, and the outdoor pool that overlooks the riverfront and is a popular spot for events. The Wilmington Convention Center and multiple businesses are within walking distance, as are historic sites, restaurants, shopping, and nightlife, making it suitable for tourists as well.

This budget hotel offers value-for-location, a pool, and a free continental breakfast, but not much else. The 120 rooms are bleak, with unattractive, often mismatched, beat-up furniture and there are cleanliness issues throughout. The hotel's in a busy location on Wilmington's Market Street, with plenty of dining spots all around, and it's only 15 minutes from Wilmington's beaches by car, but there's little else to recommend a stay here. Overall, it's dingy and poorly maintained, though bargain rates do make it an option for guests looking in search of a cheap place to sleep and nothing more.
