The Spotlight on Best Western Plus Coastline Inn

Waterfront Comfort Steps from Wilmington’s Music Scene

Modern and welcoming, the Best Western Plus Coastline Inn sits right on the Cape Fear River in historic downtown Wilmington. With scenic river views, cozy rooms, and a convenient location next to the Wilmington Convention Center, it’s a relaxing base that’s just minutes from popular music venues and nightlife.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re just a short walk or quick ride from Wilmington’s top concert spots — no need to worry about parking or long treks after a late show. Despite the central location, the hotel maintains a quiet, peaceful vibe thanks to its riverfront setting. With 24-hour front desk service, you can come and go on your own schedule, and the fitness center is a nice bonus for early risers or late-night stress relief.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends heading to a local festival
Solo travelers chasing a dream concert
Couples making a romantic weekend of it
Fans needing a quiet spot to recharge post-show
Budget-conscious travelers who want comfort without splurging

Food and Drink Options

Start your day (even after a late night) with a free hot continental breakfast, served daily. While there’s no on-site restaurant for dinner, you’re just steps from downtown Wilmington’s growing food scene, with lots of walkable options for late-night bites. Coffee-making facilities in every room mean you can fuel up any time.

Nightlife Options

You’re right in the heart of downtown Wilmington, with bars, music lounges, and craft breweries just a short stroll away. While the hotel itself is more about the chill, its location makes it easy to chase the downtown vibe — whether that’s live music, cocktails, or a quiet riverside walk.

What People Say

Guests love the river views, super friendly staff, and the perfect location for exploring historic downtown. Many mention the clean, comfortable rooms and appreciate the convenience of being close to events without the noise of being right in the center of nightlife.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers note that the decor is a bit dated, and a few guests mentioned limited parking when the hotel is full. But most agree that the service and views more than make up for it.

The Bottom Line

A peaceful riverside stay in downtown Wilmington, the Best Western Plus Coastline Inn is a solid pick for concert-goers who want comfort, convenience, and walkability without the late-night noise.

Great riverside location. Offend friendly...

Liked: The night receptionist was amazing. We suffered some very lengthy flight delays, so didn't arrive until almost 3am. She checked us in as quickly as humanly possible so we could get straight to sleep. She also found a space for all of our luggage, so we didn't have to lug 8 suitcases upstairs.
Disliked: The elevator wasn't working, so a few flights of stairs to contend with,. Hopefully they are repaired by now!?

Don't be fooled by the...

Liked: I liked the location and the view out the window of the river was pretty, with the exception of the huge air conditioner unit in the view. This was an awful three days as we considered multiple times that we should check out and go to another hotel, or "motel" would be the correct word. You get to your room from the outside although no pictures on the website show that. The room was very very small and the bathroom was tiny. Although the room appeared clean, I showered all three days with my flip flops on because the bottom of the shower had black lines in the grout which appeared to be mold. The bathroom was small and the sink counter top fit only a handful of items. Upon check in we were told the elevator was out of order so she asked us if the first floor was ok. Totally inconvenient. The cold water in the sink barely dribbled out of the faucet, and almost every single outlet in the room was so old that nothing would stay plugged in without falling out which made charging phones and lap tops a problem. They boast a free breakfast in a small room with only three tables that were always filled, and the picture of the "lobby" was taken with the widest lense on the market because it is only a fraction of the size in person compared to the picture. On our last night the wifi didn't work. This was my daughter's graduation weekend from UNCW and a very poor choice of hotel on our behalf. The room was not cheap and that is what annoyed me the most. For an extra $50 a night do yourself a favor and stay next door at Embassy Suites or Aloft.
