Location!!
Great location, plenty of amenities. Outdoor pool was well kept and clean. Options for dining in the hotel were good as well as it’s proximity to a lot of options. Right on the Riverwalk, and view of the river was stunning.

Such a great place to stay!
We loved the hotel and location. Our room was nice and clean with a wonderful view. Our stay was perfect. The only thing we could have asked for would have been room service from the restaurant but that’s not a deal breaker.

The ballast does not disappoint.
Wilmington is a charming little town. I was on their own business. The ballast hotel did not disappoint! It was probably the best possible place you can stay in Wilmington.

Nice hotel with a historic view.
Older hotel that has made updates. View of USS NC Battleship was a huge plus. Wi-Fi worked good. Air, TV, and bathroom good. The hvac was noisy but good with noise at night. Restaurant breakfast is definitely on beach time…very slow. Parking on site or valet.

Great service, location, comfort
Very comfortable hotel with excellent location on the river. Miss Ericka at the front desk was extremely helpful and knowledgeable — ensured I was able to find a taxi for my pre-dawn ride to the airport which was before the Hotel’s airport shuttle started running.
