Great location. Nice coffee shop right on the first floor. Comfortable bed. Big room.

Lordly, where do I start? The Bistro room was an amalgamation of different decades of decor. From the living room's non-operarting jetted tub to the bathroom's white tile with large grout lines non-operating sink (don't worry, there is another sink in the living room) to the broken massive towel rack in the bathroom (don't worry there is another one hanging way above the non-operating tub in the living room) to the now dis-used wall mounted TV support right next to the newer flat-screen TV (not wall mounted) to the wobbly bistro table table (hence the name of the room) to the ceiling border wallpaper to the overall minty green paint, it's like you time-traveled to every bad decorating trends over the past 50 years. Please, for the love of God, gut this room and start over.

A good night’s sleep was so much needed because we explored wonderful historic Wilmington each day. Accordingly, the great bed in the Hemingway room was wonderful. And even though it is directly adjacent to Front Street, it was very quiet through the nights. The room has a wet coffee bar and mini refrigerator, jacuzzi tub and a wonderfully large balcony. The location is superb. Just a block from the amazing Cape Fear river boardwalk and all the restaurants, bars, shops and beautiful, historic homes that are a joy to walk by. We very much appreciated the free parking provided by the inn that was right next to our room. The Concorde Espresso bar is definitely worth visiting with its fun, relaxing atmosphere!

Really, nothing other than the lack of hangers. There was only one! However, it wasn’t a big enough deal for us to mention it to the staff because we just keep it rolled clothes in our suitcases but others might find this an issue.

This is a charming boutique hotel in a perfect location near the town center and near the riverfront in Wilmington. The hotel is in a converted antique building with a lot of interesting features. The room we stayed in was very good size, with a small kitchenette (we didn't use it, having only stayed one night). There is a nice espresso bar and lively evening bar in the hotel 'lobby'. We had a great stay, and I'd recommend The Front Street Inn to other travellers.

Strangely, the water pressur was too high! Usually, low pressure causes complaints. But the shower was too powerful. Not really a big deal, as I was able to simply control the flow to a lower rate with the faucet. But, since you asked...

We booked a room at the Front Street Inn for 1 night when coming to Wilmington to visit a friend. It's a nice boutique Inn in a very convenient location. We stayed in the Amsterdam room which was very nice and comfortable. The location is close to everything you may need within easy walking distance. The Concorde Coffee Shop is located in the hotel which makes morning drinks easy to obtain without leaving the Inn. You get a discount on coffee if you are a guest at the Inn. Overall, a great experience. This will be out go to place to stay next time we visit Wilmington.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Front Street Inn for a variety of reasons. We arrived somewhat early, but we were greeted with enthusiasm and shown where to park whilst we wandered off for a walk into town. The room was lovely; large with plenty of room for luggage, chocolates nestled in the beautiful bed linens, the bed was very comfortable, the shower had plenty of pressure and everything was spotlessly clean. There is a wonderful little cafe on site, serving pastries and great coffee in the morning, and drinks and snacks in the evening. There is also a wonderful outdoor area, heated for the colder evenings -a perfect place for a cocktail or two

A little confusing on you have to go to the coffee shop to check in but once I got to the room I was completely enthralled how nice it was. Even too pics to show off how nice the room was. Every detail was thoroughly considered. Once you get used to navigating around coffee customers to get your luggage in, you’ll be fine. Hotel located right in the thick of everything. Coffee shop located on sight was great!!

Having to weave through coffee shop customers to get to room. Coffee shop is very busy because it’s excellent

Very Spacious room; interesting decor keeping old architectural details in room, lots of windows, helpful manager who helped bring my suitcase up the stairs and immediately replaced dying batteries in lock. He also brought me a lower profile pillow when requested. Comfortable armchairs and great wooden floor. Very clean.

I wish there were real glasses and ceramic cups instead of disposable. Doors and closet were partially blocked by furniture. It was easily moved, but unusual that it was just not placed differently. Overall though not a big problem.

Breakfast at a partner facility nearby was quite nice. The Cottage was spacious and clean—and very convenient to downtown Wilmington.

The operation of the televisions was a bit tricky. We could not find a local PBS station nor CNN. There may be a way to access them, but an information sheet with the remotes would be most helpful. It was frustrating.

The location of this bed and breakfast was perfect, as it was walking distance to downtown and the Riverfront. I really liked that the onsite parking was included, which isn't typical of hotels located in downtown areas. This hidden gem exceeded my expectations. Staff was attentive as this was one of my first bookings utilizing the online and texting app for check in and check out.

The breakfast advertised was offered at an off site location (sister property). With there being a Concorde Expresso being located onsite, maybe offer guests an incentive for coffee beverages and/or bakery products to be included with stay.

Lovely building full of character. Great location with parking.

It is a lovely hotel but not quite exceptional due to a couple of simple oversights. The cheap showerhead making the shower spray sharp and uncomfortable and the lack of any cups/glasses/plates (or anything else) despite a kitchen - no coffee or tea either
