When we arrived at 11pm, they did not have our reservation though I had booked it earlier in the day (we'll blame the website for this one). After my husband was buzzed into the locked lobby, it took 15 minutes to straighten everything out. We ended up with 2 double beds. We inquired about their free wi-fi and were told... more

I booked this hotel through Travelocity ($44) after reading the reviews on Trip Advisor. I found this Motel to be very clean, spacious, and friendly. The Carolinian had a health sanitation rating of 90.5 at the time of my visit. The bathroom was very clean, and had it didn't have any mold stains on the bathroom chalking. The room had... more

I am not sure how to comment. I found this place by doing a little research online. I had never been to Wilmington before so I was a little nervous. The price was right. King, non-smoking room. We checked in without any problems. Room was clean, quiet.... bed was comfortable. The desk clerk was very very helpful on advising on... more

We stayed at the Carolinian for 3 nights in September. I was really surprised at the other reviews because I found the hotel to be very pleasant. Yes it is an older motel and perhaps that is not to everybodys liking, but the rooms are big and clean and the bathrooms are modern and obviously refurbished. I saw three other... more

I booked this hotel several months in advance for three nights, through the Best Western central reservations system. Having tried to locate it when I arrived in Wilmington, I eventually realised that it is no longer a Best Western hotel and is now privately owned. I got a room near the reception area which was not clean. The walls were... more

My sister and I had a reservation for two nights at this place. The front desk clerk "Bob" was extremely nice and helpful. But when we got into our room, we couldn't believe our eyes. It looked as though it hasn't been dusted in months....the bedspreads and sheets didn't look clean. We had a brick wall with gum on it... more

I stayed at this hotel for one night since my trip though an online travel service did not book a room for the first night of a three night two day business trip. I arrived late and met the verbose and friendly night clerk. I was impressed with my first experience with North Carolina and the people are as friendly... more

I stayed here for one night during a Christmas visit to Wilmington, and would definitely come back. The front desk clerk was EXTREMELY helpful and polite, and made me feel very welcome. It is obvious looking at the hotel from outside that it is an older building, but the room I was in ($55, great deal!) appeared to be recently... more

Visited this hotel in September 2005, original reservation was for 2 nights. Quickly after visiting our room cancelled the second night to stay at a more reputable hotel. Front desk clerk was rude and unwilling to help in any way, and acted as if we were bothering her more than anything. Our rooms were like dungeons with brick / wood... more

We were walk-ins on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend after deciding that we wanted to stay at the beach. This was the only hotel going from Wrightsville down to Market Street that had a room with two double beds available.My boyfriend and I stayed along with his brother and girlfriend.The hotel is older and you can tell, but it... more
