The ocean views from the upgraded room were wonderful. Service and restaurant were great too.

Enjoyed the managers reception on Thursday night with a beautiful sunset view overlooking the sound.

Don't let the looks of the hotel from outside fool you....it is very well maintained, will nice furniture and comfortable beds in room...we had the sound view room which was nice. The staff is very friendly. The free breakfast was an awesome spread.

As before, service was impeccable but our shower was not working. The rainshower would not turn on properly and dripped ice cold water as you tried to use the hand-held shower which would not sit in the bracket.. For a high end boutique hotel, this is quite unacceptable.

Nice hotel! Hot tub was in for repairs which I didn't know when booking, but otherwise i'd go again.

The Hotel is great, I actually stayed here for my wedding night 7 years ago. They were doing some off season maintenance and my room smelled like fresh paint. The manager said the floor below me was just painted and they happily moved me to another part of the hotel where there was no issue. The Mgr was very helpful.

Customer service was great! We initially had an issue with noise in the room next to us and Nick changed the room with no problem and even gave us an upgrade to one of the rooms with balcony (highly recommend those). Breakfast was a full hot breakfast (line can be a bit long so arrive early). For the price I will definitely recommend this to others […] . Read more

The front desk staffers were excellent. The room was squeaky clean. I understand that tile flooring (instead of carpet) has its advantages at the beach, but noise carries from room to room quite a bit. This is a minor drawback though. Overall, I had a great experience and would recommend to anyone, mostly due to the wonderful young ladies at the front […] desk whom I pestered for assistance several times during my stay. Read more

Very nice hotel, right on the beach. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Breakfast buffet was very good. Would stay here again.

our stay at the blockade runner was wonderful...we were automatically upgraded to ocean view room and couldn't have asked for better service or accommodation

The room is for the older part of the building but they have balconies and a beach view. The older part of the property has character. The vintage lift is interesting

The room was comfortable and very clean. The staff was supper friendly. The breakfast was unexpectedly included in the low price and was delicious.

Genuine Expedia guest review

It was excellent. The view was fantastic. A giant picture window/patio door with the ocean a short walk away was especially awesome. The hotel staff was exceptionally attentive to guests' needs and extremely helpful with an attitude that they really wanted to do their best. Unfortunately, the restaurant was closed for Christmas, but they called me to […] tell me that prior to my stay. I thought that was really thoughtful. It was not a problem since their were good restaurants in the area that were open. The continental breakfast was satisfactory and well stocked. I had a great trip. It was a balcony room and I am most grateful for the upgrade and hope that it will be available for next Christmas. Read more

I was promised a balcony, it even said so on my confirmation...there was no balcony. Bed's were uncomfortable and there were hardly any plugs for electronics. It wasn't the best place for a 5 day stay.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The staff was pleasant. Buffet breakfast was ample, varied, but could have been hotter. I waited 45 minutes for a bucket of ice, and finally went to the lobby and got it myself! The price was quite agreeable for Thanksgiving night. I would definitely stay again; ( the family lives 2 blocks away.

The heater/air conditioner made constant noises throughout the night. It woke me up several times. Other than that, its a great place to stay. Food is excellent and the service very good.

"Heaven on Earth" is what my wife says. This place far exceeded our expectations. Being our first time to Wilmington/Wrightsville Beach, we didn't know what to expect, really. Pulling up to the building, the exterior is a bit deceiving. But once we were greeted by the very polite and professional valet attendant, we knew it was going to be great. The […] entire hotel staff is incredibly helpful. The room was amazing (only complaint being that the shower seemed to leak out onto the bathroom floor (poor design?)). The location is perfect. The weather was amazing for the 4 days we were there, which I'm sure added to our enjoyment and love of the hotel, as we were able to have the patio door wide open. The Blockade Runner is one of THE nicest places we have ever stayed at, putting it above other 5-star rated hotels on the east coast, hands down. We will definitely be back. (Oh, and the breakfast buffet? Fantastic!) Read more

Very nice. Great location for beach and local bars and restaurants

Genuine Expedia guest review

A humans hair not from their head was found in the bathroom and not my own. Rooms are a bit cold and lacking warmth of comfort... Very echo like feeling. Hallways are dark and carpets are stained. But. Lobby and surrounding hotel are beautiful. Staff are very nice and helpful. Love the free valet service/parking.

At the arrival we were surprised to have 3 attendees ,in form of three young men, standing at the entrance and entertaining each other in coversation. If I, an older woman, would not have greeted them first they would have looked right through us. Check in was professional and friendly. The foyer, the shop and Hotel backyard surroundings modern, nice […] looking and clean. Vegetation well taken care of. Views to the front and back to the Atlantic beautiful.A good size fitness room and sauna. Nice breakfast facility, great servive and even better breakfast buffet. The only disappointment was our room. Very outdated, dirty at the corner of the sheets. Good mattresses! Crooked hanging lamp shades ( very dirty ). Dust balls on telephone. Hair in the shower. Dirty sink surrounding and very old looking hairdryer ( filled with dust ).Honestly, we have stayed in much cleaner and nicer Motels with 1-2 stars less.The Hotel is overprized, but the stay was good all together.

Warm, friendly service! The hotel is in the middle of the place to be in Wilmington with the water views of both the waterway and the ocean. Breakfast buffet was excellent including many warm options and a full bar of fresh fruit. Clean, comfortable and inviting with beautiful surrounding grounds. We will return.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We had a lot of fun on the beach for our 4 month anniversary. We have gone to the beach before and stayed at different hotels that are not on the beach. It is very convenient to be right on the water and not have to worry about parking. The hotel beach was clean and not crowded at all. The staff was very nice to us and tried very hard to make us happy. […] It doesn't say it in the description, however the hotel also has a large hot tub. We would definitely go again. Read more

Didn't like the fact that we had to stay on the 2nd floor for 3 nights. Felt like people were staring into our room from the pool. For a three night stay and the price we paid, I would have liked a higher floor (at least on 4th floor). Some of the staff were helpful (especially the valets and bartenders). Some of the desk staff (college-age girls) were […] too cool for school. Overall, great proximity to the beach but not worth the price. Read more

very helpful staff, excellent restaurant, very attractive landscaping/ grounds

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

For a hotel of it's class, I thought it was wonderful. The hotel location was excellent, sitting right on the beach yet providing an easy walk to the island restaurants. The rooms were large and roomy. Unfortuantely, not all of the rooms have a 'walk-out' balcony where you can sit. However, the cabana chairs on the patio were a suitable substitute, […] allowing us to read for hours, while enjoying the ocean breeze. The complimentary breakfast bar was convenient and tasty. The parking lot needs to be enlarged to avoid valet parking, but we only had to use valet for one night. The gardens and landscaping were very attractive. Staff was super friendly. Avoid the bar as drinks were over priced and not very good. Read more

The only complaint I have about Blockade Runner is that we couldn't stay longer! All of the staff was friendly and helpful. We had a room on the 3rd floor with ocean view...spectacular! It is indeed only steps away from the beach. The grounds and hotel itself are kept meticulous. We can't wait to go again next year!! Highly recommend!

Genuine Expedia guest review

This is our 2nd visit to the Blockade Runner. Though the first visit was great, this time was outstanding! They've stepped up restaurant/bar quality...a very appealing menu and innovative chef. The drinks, bartender, and cocktail waitress were perfect. We even had a round delivered to our umbrella on the beach (the guys on the beach were helpful, too). […] Topping it off were Joe, Casey, and the other bellmen, whose ancillary duties include driving the free shuttle. Their service was excellent...just be sure to tip them a $5 bill...they deserve it! Read more

We really liked the grounds and the view from either side of the Blockade Runner. The staff was curtious and very helpfull. We intend to go back next year.

The staff was extremely nice and helpful. It was a wonderful place right on the beach. Looking forward to visiting again.
