The Carolinian Inn has to be the WORST place I have ever stayed in. My husband, daughter, and myself were in town for a family wedding. They chose a weekend where every hotel close to their wedding site was booked due to a soccer tournament. This was our only option at the time. First off let me say that my... More

I enjoyed the Carolinian Inn. The room was clean, everything worked, the towels were changed daily, the shower was hot, and both the cable and internet worked. The breakfast bar had raisin bran, fresh milk and bananas which I enjoyed. Staff were professional and always on call if you needed them. The only drawback about leaving a good review, is... More

My bf and I needed a place to stay for the night that was close to a testing center (I was taking my state boards across the street and down a block). The location was perfect. We usually stay in Super 8's or Econolodges because we can always find good deals online for them. With that being said, I was... More

I'm a frequent traveler, both domestically and internationally. I've stay at the Carolinian quite often over the last several years. It's not the most luxurious place I've ever stayed, but it is my favorite in the Wilmington area. It's quiet, clean, comfortable, safe, reasonably priced. The staff is great, they've always made me feel at home and happy to be... More

The hotel looked nice on the internet, however, it is really a dump. There are persons hanging outside the hotel, the rooms and hallways are extremely dark and without light in hallways. The two rooms were assigned, keys did not work and we were given another set of keys only one key for one room worked. The rooms were dirty... More

This hotel looks very quaint. It reminds me of somewhere you would see in the 1960s. It looks well maintained and older style. The part of town that it's on is somewhat sketchy- not a bad neighborhood but definitely questionable. Not somewhere you'd want to be outside of your room at night. I would definitely lock the doors. With that... More

after finding the room next door at the motel 6 to be a urine-soaked cesspool, we left and went to the carolinian. the room was what you'd expect from an older motor-lodge style motel. nothing exceptionally good or bad. the bed was comfortable and the sheets were clean. the best part about it was marvin, at the front desk. he...

Ok, let me say up front, I did a bunch of research on this place before I went ahead and booked it. The reviews are all over the place, with some handing out bunches of stars for affordability and location, while others fail to see anything good in it. I guess I was convinced enough by the good reviews that... More
