Best Western Plus Coastline Inn - A riverfront hotel with Cape Fear River views and direct pier access

Located in Wilmington's historic downtown district, this 53-room Wilmington hotel overlooks Cape Fear River from a former rail yard complex. Best Western Plus Coastline Inn features rooms with air conditioning, laptop-friendly workspaces, refrigerators, and cable TV, with select rooms offering direct access to the hotel's pier through gated entrances. A complimentary breakfast buffet serves DIY waffles, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage patties, cereal, and Chobani yogurt from 6:30 AM to 9:30 AM on weekdays. The property includes a fitness center equipped with an elliptical, treadmill, stationary bike, and strength-training machine. Best Western's lobby features two-story windows and two computer stations with printers. The hotel stands next to the Wilmington Convention Center, with Old Wilmington City Market's skylit shopping arcade a 12-minute riverside walk away. Front Street's microbreweries, restaurants, and cocktail bars are within walking distance.

Pros

Direct pier access over Cape Fear River

Quiet setting despite central location

Guest rooms feature river views

Walking distance to historic district attractions

Cons

6 miles from Wilmington International Airport

Limited on-site dining options

“Best Western Plus Coastline Inn impresses with its prime riverfront location, placing guests steps from Wilmington's historic district. While updates refresh the rooms, the attentive staff and exceptional bedding stood out to me. I think that the riverside boardwalk access and pet-friendly policy make it a practical choice, even though the bathrooms could use some attention.”
