The Spotlight on Best Western Plus Wilmington / Wrightsville Beach

Comfy Convenience Between the Beach and Beats

Modern and affordable, the Best Western Plus Wilmington/Wrightsville Beach offers a laid-back stay just five miles from downtown Wilmington. Located on Market Street, this hotel blends practical amenities with a coastal vibe — perfect for travelers heading to shows or exploring the city.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re just a short drive from Wilmington’s popular concert venues and downtown nightlife, making this location super convenient for show nights. Guests appreciate the 24-hour front desk (great for late arrivals), free on-site parking, and the fact that rooms come with a microwave and fridge — ideal for late-night snacks. The area is quieter at night, allowing for a peaceful recovery after a high-energy show.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends road-tripping for a weekend concert
- Solo travelers seeing a favorite band
- Couples turning a concert into a getaway
- Fans who want a chill place to crash after the encore
- Budget-conscious music lovers seeking value with comfort

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, guests enjoy a free daily breakfast — a big plus after a late night out. The hotel is just minutes from the University Center area, offering plenty of casual dining spots within a short drive. With in-room microwaves and fridges, it’s easy to stash leftovers or heat up a midnight snack.

Nightlife Options

You're close to Wilmington’s downtown nightlife, including bars, breweries, and live music venues. While the hotel itself doesn’t have a bar, it’s a short ride-share away from the action — and far enough to enjoy a quiet night when the music stops.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, spacious rooms, friendly staff, and the convenience of the location. Many mention the easy check-in/check-out process and the reliable Wi-Fi and amenities like the outdoor pool and fitness center. It’s a popular choice for travelers looking for comfort without the downtown price tag.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the hotel is a bit older in style, and a few rooms may show light wear. While the location is great for driving, you’ll likely need a car or ride-share to reach downtown venues or late-night food spots.

The Bottom Line

A solid, budget-friendly choice for concert-goers who want a clean, quiet place to recharge — with easy access to Wilmington’s music scene.

Great Stop on the Road

Liked: I have stayed at many Best Westerns, but this was definitely a stand-out. The lobby and breakfast room are spacious and attractive. The room was clean and well appointed, with plenty of places to plug in electronics. Air conditioner was quiet and easily controlled by a wall thermostat. The rate for a pet in room was reasonable, and our room had easy access to a suitable area for dog walking, without going through the main lobby. Every staff member I encountered was friendly and professional. The breakfast room was well stocked. The property is located near many shops and restaurants, but has a quiet location off the main road.
