This hotel has an amazing location, free parking, and beautiful interiors. The Segovia room was particularly tasteful and not too 'bed and breakfast'. I missed the complimentary breakfast but the person at the desk was quick to prepare a tray of goodies to bring back to my room. The only thing that prevented a perfect score was that for a... more

My girlfriend and I spent two nights at the Front Street Inn, and had a great time. We were definitely the youngest guests during our stay, but everyone was very friendly and welcoming. We stayed in the Pearl Buck room on the ground floor, and thoroughly enjoyed it. The hotel is such a short walk from all of the action... more

I must admit, I am quite shocked to read some of the negative reviews people have posted. I am an inn keeper for a B&B in the mountains of NC and know what to expect for a nice stay. My date and I traveled to Wilmington over Halloween for my brother's wedding and absolutely loved staying at the Front Street... more

On our recent 4 day trip to Wilmington, NC my husband & I stayed at THE most wonderful B & B we have ever stayed at. Run by Richard & Polly & their son Chris, the beautifully decorated inn is conveniently close to the Cape Fear Riverwalk & gorgeous old home neighborhoods & shopping providing days of endless walking &... more

I could not disagree more with the negative reviews. My husband and I have stayed there five times since January 2006 and we absolutely love it. The owners and staff have always more than accomodating and friendly. We've enjoyed three of their suites-- The Hemingway, The Cabana, and The Taverna. We love their breakfast with sweet breads, muffins, freshly made... more

My husband and I are frequent visitors to Wilmington and the Front Street Inn. Our most recent trip was during the first week of April when we traveled to ILM for the annual Azalea Festival. We stayed from Wed to Sun. The weather was a bit off for a day or two, but the weekend turned out to be beautiful!!... more

We chose the Front Street Inn from the pictures and discription on the internet. The room and Inn are not at all as depicted onlline. The decor was a mish mash mess. The room was way over priced for the yard sale type furnishings. There was a kitckenette with a stove but not even one pot or pan, plate or... more

We have stayed in many bed and breakfast inns, and this is the only B&B we have ever stayed in where we had to pay for the wine when the "complimentary" afternoon refreshments were served. They charged us $6.50 a glass for this privilege. I felt like we had paid more than enough for our room, and this made us... more

Management response from
frontstreetowner, owner

We encourage and appreciate honest reviews of our inn...we're always looking to improve! And, though I rarely respond to reviews, I feel compelled to say a few words about this particular one. First, I'm sorry the guest felt "nickled and dimed" with his stay because of the confusion over our "honor bar." Upon check-in, each guest is shown around the...

Stayed for a rainy weekend in Wilmington, so I might have been biased by the weather. But we stayed in the Hemingway room, which was gigantic, but surprisingly dull. The decor was pretty spartan, though it did sport a huge bathtub and King size bed. I have to agree with reviews of the breakfast. Served as a continental breakfast, it... more

We just returned from a lovely weekend getaway at the Front Street Inn. The owners and staff were very friendly and helpful, our suite was clean, comfortable and creatively decorated, and breakfast was delicious. Great location for walking around the waterfront or downtown as well. Would certainly recommend to others. more
