Homewood Suites

All around a great place to stay. We came for the weekend and had several children. The hotel was clean, the staff was above and beyond friendly.
The mini kitchens are well equipped and the outdoor grills are great.
We will be coming here every time we stay in Wilmington.

The hotel was ok. The furniture is a bit old, so it came with chips, dents, and/​or stains. The bed wasn’t very comfortable. I also reserved a king suite but they gave me double beds. Also, the elevator closest to our room smelled like vomit from check-​in to check-​out. It didn’t seem as if any effort to mask the stench was ever put forth. Staying here was a spontaneous move after a long day at the beach and minimal research was involved. With that said I wouldn’t stay again.

I was, at first, very happy with this hotel. However, in the morning, my seven month old daughter was crawling around our room and found a pill from a previous guest. THANKFULLY I spotted it at the same time she did and got to it before she could put it in her mouth. There’s absolutely no chance that it came from us, we don’t take or carry medications. I’m still nervous that there may have been more than one that she may have found earlier. It was directly beside the bed, there’s no excuse for not cleaning it!

Outstanding! The staff was awesome… very friendly and helpful. Room was very clean and comfortable! Outside by the pool the huge gazebo with couch, bar and TV was so comfortable and nice to sit with a beer and tons of areas for smokers. Will be back for sure!

Nice comfortable spacious rooms. The kitchen is great to have and I really felt right at home. The gym was very clean and machines worked well. Liked the outside area with pool and hot tub plus some chairs and tables to just relax. Hotel staff was friendly and seemed efficient. Breakfast changed every day and had a good variety. Breakfast staff really good at supplying food and cleaning up during busy times. Internet worked well in room at all times. Can’t give this place 5 stars because the tvs on the gym machines did not work and the shower was never hot enough. Otherwise great stay and look forward to coming back again.

The staff went above and beyond for us before we even checked in so I knew that we would enjoy it there, I just didn’t know how much.
From the moment we checked in, we felt at home. Our room was very nice and very clean. It was well stocked with towels and the complimentary package of popcorn was very welcomed after a long trip in. We loved the view overlooking the pool and noise was never a problem.
The serving staff was excellent and always so friendly. The cleaning staff was as well, and very thorough.
Loved the breakfast every morning and the complimentary reception in the evening was a nice touch. Bar drinks are reasonably priced too!
The hotel is in close proximity to everything you need and Wrightsville Beach is a short drive away.
Like I said, this is a perfect choice! It’s so perfect that I’ve booked two more trips there! :)
A huge thank you to everyone that works there, you’re all doing an amazing job!

Excellent location and excellent staff. We asked for directions and the girl I’m front Cheyenne, went above and beyond. The other girl Jessica was quick to be sure we had everything we requested and made sure we had a comfortable stay. Free WiFi and the food during social hour is really good. I would definitely recommend to friends and family.

Sincere exemplary friendly staff. Great spacious clean modern rooms. Better than average fitness center. Inviting pool and hot tub. Wifi worked well. Complimentary breakfast and dinner was a very nice touch. Look forward to going back next time I’m in town. One complaint: my key card kept deactivating — no less than 3 times — and I had to keep going back to the front desk to get a new key.

Booked my room with Greg over the phone. When i came to front desk he greeted me with a gift bag of 2 bottles of water, a snack and my room key. Customer service is perfect! Room is super nice. Breakfast is super good. Staffs are very friendly. Love this place.

We have never stayed at The Homewood Suites, but have definitely enjoyed Hilton hotels in the past. This particular hotel was clean, nicely decorated, had a pool and hot tub, and we loved the suite amenities in the room. Having it sectioned off into a kitchen, living room, bedroom, and bathroom made the room so much quieter and more home-​like.
The complimentary hot breakfast was great and we enjoyed the outdoor seating during our warm, October stay in North Carolina. Shopping and restaurants were all convenient and some were within walking distance. We enjoyed Wrightsville Beach which was only a couple of minutes away. Loved it all.

I’ve stayed here three times. It has always been a wonderful experience. Helpful and friendly staff, marvelous facility, top-​notch service.

One major complaint in an otherwise decent place. They have the standard below-​window AC unit, which was operated by a wall thermostat. There is no option to keep the fan on, and the unit cycled loudly on-​and-​off throughout the night. My wife couldn’t sleep through these annoying interruptions. Before our second night, we asked about this, hoping there was a problem with our unit, or some solution, but there was none. We had to knock ourselves out with Ambien the second night!
Somehow these hotel chains don’t want to spring for quieter AC systems. BTW, the windows didn’t open which could have been an alternative.

My wife and I took a 10-​day trip to Wilmington, NC in July-​August 2014 and had the pleasure at staying at the Homewood Suites hotel in the Mayfair community. It was one of the best hotels I have stayed in. You won’t be disappointed. The hotel is new, less than 10 years old, and is built behind the Mayfaire shopping center in the eastern part of Wilmington. It is centrally located, and though we didn’t shop at the shopping center, there are a lot of stores in the vicinity if you want to shop. From the hotel it was a hop, skip and jump to go to Wrightsville Beach, the road to Carolina/​Kure Beach and downtown Wilmington.
We had a one bedroom suite, which had a king sized bed, a small kitchenette with a two burner stove, a full-​sized refrigerator, and a living room with a desk, couch and two chairs. Adjacent to the bedroom was a bathroom with a bath/​shower and toilet in its own room and the closet and sink in an adjacent alcove. There were 2 flat screen TVs in the suite, and the couch in the living room could be pulled out for another bed if you wanted to house more people. The bed was nice and firm, and since it was summer there was lighter bedding on the bed. Both the living room and bedroom had separate temperature controls and the heating system was adequate, though since you couldn’t open the windows, A/​C was on all of the time.
The staff is very nice, informed and accommodating. The front desk staff was very helpful with suggestions and directions, and check in was a breeze. Housekeeping did a fine job, and there seemed to be an unlimited supply of maintenance men working around the property. As far as amenities were concerned, the hotel had free Wi-​Fi, which had to be renewed daily, a very nice workout room with Precor brand equipment including 1 elliptical, 2 treadmills and a stationary bike, weights and a floor mat with an exercise ball. The hotel also had an unguarded outdoor pool, which was open from 9:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m., and an adjacent outdoor lounge area with tables and a TV where we ate often.
Breakfast was included, and it changed every day. Usually there were eggs and some side like pancakes or French toast or biscuits and sausage gravy, etc. The cereal selection even changed every day. They also had the staples such as bread, yogurt, fruit salad, etc. Monday through Thursday from 5 – 7 the hotel hosted dinner as well. I noticed that they had steak teriyaki and rice, fried chicken and some spaghetti thing, all with salad and free wine and beer. You have to get there early to get the food if it’s something good, because once it’s gone they seem to switch to a less desirable alternative.
Three things I didn’t like, and they were all minor. First, the windows didn’t open at all, so one is stuck with A/​C 100% of the time, even on those rare occasions when you might not want it or need it. Also, the parking lot is small and sometimes we had to park pretty far from the door that we would use. Finally, there was no overhang or portico at the registration area. It poured on the day we were checking out and it would have been nice to be able to load up the car under cover instead of getting soaked.
We paid $ 141 a night using a site like Expedia or
(I forget which one) and it was a bargain for what we got. I look forward to staying at the Homewood Suites/​Wilmington-​Mayfair again!

Great Place
Room Amenities 5 Full kitchen, can’t beat.
Room furniture 4 — basic stuff not posh, but clean.
Room cleanliness. 4 — Clean but shower had just a little dirt
Breakfast — 4. Free, but eggs maybe powdered. Simple breakfast
Dinner served. 3. Nice touch but pasta pasta pasta. Come. On.
Free beer/​wine with dinner 4 — nice touch. Average servings.
Service very attentive. 5
Gym is pretty basic hotel fare. At least they have one. 3.
Kids in the dining area. Can’t fault them for this, but during the free dinner, we called this «feeding time for the locusts» — just freaking little kids and middle schoolers everywhere. Not the hotel’s fault, but looked like a 3^rd world rations hand out with very sugared-​up kids. Mostly because of the never-​ending cheap pasta and kids we went out.
This is really a great hotel for what you get. Not posh, but good.

If you know Homewood Suites by Hilton, you get the nice suite with complementary full breakfast, a free dinner (with wine and beer). Excellent for cleanliness, space, service, and location. This place is brand new. Only thing average is the evening meals/​breakfast which is typical of most of this chain but not as good as some locations, however the wine in the evening was better than most HS. One great aspect of this place is its location next to Harris Teeter grocery store (with a Redbox to get DVD’s for the DVD player in the room), Five Guys Burger, and BrrrBerry Frozen Yogurt. There is a mall and a host of great restaurants nearby — both local and chain. This is definitely the best place to stay in Wilmington.

Awesome hotel. Free breakfast and dinner most nites!!! Internet is very SLOW!!! Better Internet and I would vote 5 stars

Not a «Cheap» place to stay by any means, but still relatively inexpensive compared to a number of alternatives in the area, and 2 – 3 miles from the beach (depending on which end you’re headed for). The hotel has a pool, serves breakfast, and the rooms are set up like studio apartments. Our room was clean, and didn’t appear to be outdated but was showing some signs of wear and tear.
Breakfast, each morning, was a little different than the previous day… although it did seem that there were scrambled eggs each day. Some days were hash browns, other days biscuits and gravy. The food was good for being a buffet style breakfast.
Free Wi-​Fi is a huge plus here, and I believe it has become a standard in the hotel industry.
The Jacuzzi was relaxing, but it gets crowded at night.
What I didn’t like was kids running wild at the pool. Granted, I have a 9 y/​o who wants to play with them, but they were so rough and I kept asking myself, «Where are the parents?» and «Which one’s going to get hurt first?» The parents were right there, sitting at a table, reading a book, or playing cards or chatting with their friends/​relatives. Fortunately, nobody got hurt, but I tell you it was a recipe for disaster — slippery wet surfaces poolside and kids roughhousing, pushing, shoving, running, in a tightly enclosed area is just plain scary to watch. I watched a staff member come through with clean towels with a look on his face like «WHERE ARE THE FLIPPIN PARENTS???» There’s a lot of responsibility when it comes to liability at a pool, but I didn’t see where any of the staff was willing to exercise any authority to get anyone to settle down. Needless to say, we didn’t spend too much time poolside.
Overall, not a bad place to stay, a good value for the money. Next time, though, if there is a next time, I’ll probably look for a hotel that’s right on the beach (with a pool, of course).

excellent place to stay. It is a hilton property so the rooms are well appointed with down pillows and comfortable sheets. They have a morning breakfast that is not just muffins and bagels, it is REAL breakfast. Nice pool, jacuzzi and fitness center. Very close to all attractions. The manager, Jason Smith is extremely customer oriented and cares about the experience you have in his hotel. Would recommend for any length of stay in the Wilmington area. Also FREE wired and wireless Internet!

The place is wonderful!!! We reserved a room with a double and were pleasantly surprised with the atmosphere and its location to the shops and a short drive to the Beach.
For three women sharing the bathroom; however, the counter space was not very big. But, if you’re like us, you will not be in the room that long any way. The only problem that we had was that the hotel charged the entire cost of the room on one person’s card and then the correct amounts on the other two. It took the hotel three days to reverse it. So, check your credit accounts as soon as possible and then again later if you split the cost. Best advice, have one person pay or set it up when you registered to have x people share the cost so that you will not have that problem.
Overall, the place is great, very clean, helpful staff. We plan to go there again. Love it.
