I just returned from two nights at the Hilton Riverside in Wilmington. While the staff was friendly enough, the rest of the stay was marginal. The hotel is an older Hilton, which definitely needs some sprucing up. My husband and I stayed on the 8th floor. We had a corner room overlooking the city and the water (out of the... More

Wonderful hotel on the river, very scenic & peaceful. Within walking distance to restaurants & shopping in the historic district. Riverwalk is accessible right outside the hotel; great Farmers Market on Saturdays! Convenient shuttle service to airport. Excellent Ruth's Chris steakhouse in the hotel & a Starbucks for coffee too!

I am literally sitting on the phone right now with my credit card company trying to dispute the charge from this Hilton, after I properly cancelled the room 3 days in advance. My husband is an officer in the Navy and was not able to take leave- therefore within the appropriate time frame I called and cancelled the room. Four... More

Thank you for considering us for your stay. I was disturbed to read your review. If any guest has a valid cancellation number and cancels withing the correct window of time, there should be no charges. Feel free to give us a call. If you have both of these, we would be happy to adjust the charge. More

Stayed for 1 night last July after a tasty, but ridiculously expensive, dinner in the onsite Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. First room allocated (river view, top floor) had water dripping from a crack in the ceiling, however, the affable maintenance man was at the door in less than 5 minutes and he and the wonderful front desk staff had us moved...

The staff was very helpful and the hotel was clean. It was also walking distance to a ton of things in the city. We came in late and were checked in super fast so we could make it out for some food. The gym was also very clean and well stocked with machines so everyone could work out without waiting.

Stayed in June and it was great. Room on the river was perfect -- too bad clouds blocked the sunset. Riverwalk is great and you can walk to restaurants, shops. Room was clean and comfortable. Great breakfast in the dining room. This is an older hotel but is quiet and well maintained. Short drive to the beach if you want... More

Thank you for your review. We are very proud of the hotel and you are exactly right. It is a great alternative to the beach as we are just a short drive to Kure, Carolina and Wrightsville Beaches, with all the charm of historic downtown. We hope to see you again soon. More

Stayed in April at this hotel. Always choose Hilton due to being an Honors member. I had such high hopes for our stay after reading all the other reviews! Sadly, I was not impressed.

I stayed at this hotel several years ago, and was happy to return. The room where I stayed has been updated and was very pretty and functional. Request a room with a river view, always a nice scene. Get out and walk around the neighborhood. Wilmington is a great place to visit.

The Hilton Wilmington Riverside on North Water Street is an older hotel, but it is kept clean and neat. The elevators is what made it feel most dated to me; however, my room was very comfortable and accomodating.

Great hotel with the perfect location. Hotel staff go above and beyond. This is my favorite hotel in Wilmington. Hotel is surrounded by shopping, restaurants and lots to do, and the beach is 15 minutes away.
