When we drove up to the Blockade runner we were a little concerned because the exterior of the hotel on the street side is not that impressive, however, we were pleasantly surprised once we entered the lobby. The hotel is very nice and we were very impressed with the landscaping. The pool is a bit small but the hotel sits... More

I love this place. The views are spectacular the hotel is clean and the staff is super friendly. I also thoroughly enjoyed the full hot breakfast buffet in the beautiful restaurant every morning. They have a great pool, fitness room and pool side bar. The only downside is the rooms are not updated. However, I would still highly recommend it... More

Stayed here for our first visit to Wrightsville beach and Wilmington. Superb location on a beautiful part of the beach. Lifeguards are present. The hotel and grounds were nicely appointed. Large lawn overlooking the beach where you can take yoga lessons or the kids can play games. Great complimentary brunch each morning. Staff were gracious and attentive. Room decor was... More

In what could have been a very disappointing first impression of this resort, was well played by the manager Whitney. She rose to her esteemed title of manager by taking complaints I had upon my arrival (as well as other guestts having the same complaint) and making sure they were all addressed immediately and not just for me but for...

We were a bit wary when we drove up to the hotel. The building looks like a huge concrete block with windows. Just from the looks of the outside we imagined what the inside look like. But the lobby was fine. The bellman was very friendly and helpful. Front desk clerk was accommodating, and found a handicap accessible room on... More

So, we had a corp sales team meeting with 13 people and found 'The Cottage' which has 13 guest rooms and is next door to and owned by the folks who own/manage The Blockade Runner hotel. Common area was very comfortable and spacious. The dining room seats at least 20 and the kitchen was well stocked with everything one would... More

We stayed here in March for our wedding weekend. We are local residents who had a very small wedding (40 guests) and booked a block of rooms for our family and friends here. The staff was pleasant and amazing to work with and our guest loved their rooms. There is a nostalgic feel of this hotel and the original elements... More

Over priced with average accommodations. I imagine its the best game in town though. The lobby appears new and modern. The rooms are small, but with excellent views of the ocean. The bathrooms are cramped. The hallways smell like a gym locker (seriously). Not sure how the management justifies their prices.

Stayed here a few days in March. It costed around $100 per night which was good. They said rates would almost triple in the on-season. Stayed here once before long before there was a trip advisor and decided to come back and experience it again. The front desk folks were very helpful and even allowed a several hour late check...
