Sandpeddler Inn & Suites
Each room is owned separately so some rooms are up to date and some are not. The building is old and many of the electrical outlets don’t work.

Hotel Ballast Wilmington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
Hotel is old and the shower leaked from the pocket light and then into the main room. Maintenance was frustrated and we were moved to a new room with two double beds. The shower handle fell off in this room. The place needs a huge makeover
