Disappointing for this price range.
Pros:

Location was great. Friendly staff at reception and (paid) parking. Roof-top: entertaining and friendly, observant staff.

Cons:

Rooms question of taste. Industrial design look. Not cozy and appealing. Minimalistic furniture, no wardrobe, just a ladder rack. No hangers for shirts or pants. Room clean, but air conditioning insufficient, could not handle the high humidity, bed-sheets damp and uncomfortable.
Morning coffee-bar a Joke.

I was automatically charged for auto parking and I had no auto. I feel it was a setup and a scam.
Pros:

We should have stayed at the Embassy Suites. Same price and free breakfast

Exceeded expectations
Pros:

The Aloft in Wilmington, North Carolina, was a great find. It features nice, spacious rooms, terrific and friendly hospitality at the front desk, and a beautifully designed lobby in an old historic warehouse adjacent to the new hotel tower. I loved that you could park your car right at the front door and walk into the lobby. Parking rates are substantially lower than those at surrounding hotels.

They also offer a valet option, but I’m not sure what the point of that is, given the easy self-parking right by the door. The location is fantastic and walkable to everywhere within the downtown area along the river, with several great restaurants and shops nearby.

The hotel boasts a restaurant and bar on the lobby level, as well as a rooftop bar with spectacular views of the river and the Battleship North Carolina. The friendly bartenders serve great cocktails and appetizers. The beds and amenities were fantastic, and I particularly liked the Drybar brand shampoo and conditioner—something I had never seen before.

Overall, it was a great experience, and I highly recommend it!

It was still a nice trip.
Pros:

The location was great.

Cons:

There were several things that were broken in the room. The toilet seat came off in my hand. The silicone strip on the shower door was hanging off and the shower gel pump didn’t work.

I do not think we will be back after two stays here.
Pros:

The location and views were very nice. The shower and especially the shower head was wonderful.

Cons:

Paying to park is an overcharge. Hotels in good locations already cost more. We were initially given room 424. The door to the balcony cut my husband's finger (front staff seemed already aware that door room was a problem). The room was not cleaned properly (toilet seat had someone else's dried pee all over it. Then we moved to 324 (balcony door better) but the fridge was apparently unplugged the whole time and caused a puddle of water from the defrost - which is not safe. Overall it seems these rooms were not inspected before given to guests.
