Coastal Inn & Suites - Wilmington, NC

Coastal Inn & Suites - Wilmington, NC

8/10 Good
"I would stay again. For the price, it was a bargain. There were just a few little things that I noticed on my stay. The space under the door is big enough to let sounds from the hallway sometimes. With the A/C running no big deal but at 2 am someone was in the hallway talking loud. The door also my not be a solid door. The place was very clean. The toilet in my room was low to the ground and I am 6 feet tall so I felt like I was sitting low like a child potty training. but no big deal. I do know that all the toilets are not this low. The fridge and microwave were a plus. The area felt safe. I have told a few friends about the place and would surely stay again. The cleaning staff seemed very thorough too. I went to breakfast and back and they were really taking they time on cleaning each room with care."
