I booked this room as a romantic weekend getaway. It went beyond my expectations. Way beyond.Fran, the hostess, was the embodiment of friendliness and personal service. She got me into the room quickly and without a lot of fuss.The room was by far the best I've ever stayed in. Think of the coziness of a tiny home. It was amazing. I had a wonderful view of the battleship from our window.We had our dinner on the patio, which also has a river and battleship view.It was quiet. Even downtown with all the people coming and going in the streets along with an airport not too far away, the room was surprisingly quiet.You are downtown, so you are within walking distance of so much to do. Shopping, food, and entertainment are all just a short walk away.I truly did love this place and will return. I can't think of a better place to stay downtown than at Stemmermans. I have and will continue to tell my friends about this place.Walkability: In the heart of downtown.

This is our favorite place to stay when we are in Wilmington! The inn is in a perfect location and the rooms are so cozy. Service is excellent and Fran is the best! They make sure that you have everything that you need and more. Perfect home away from home!

I've been a repeat visitor at Stemmerman's for going on 4 years now. I'm always astonished how this lovely inn isn't more popular than it is. Though for selfish reasons I must admit I wouldn't want my secret becoming too sought-after. Fran the innkeeper and her staff do an outstanding job keeping this Wilmington gem clean and welcoming for their guest. The mattresses, pillows, sheets, blankets, comforters and towels alone make this a 5-star inn. Definitely the thickest, comfiest and cleanest I've ever come across in my travels. Trust me when I say you will have a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. The free parking space located directly across the street is another reason why I stay here. You'll typically pay $20/day at the downtown hotels plus tips for the valets unless you want to hike out to retrieve it yourself. The access you have to all of the downtown bars, restaurants and shopping is another reason to love this location. Everything is within short walking distance so you're free from having to search in vain for parking during peak season. Staying here is basically like having your own private little apartment in downtown Wilmington only without all the Airbnb type headaches. Fran treats all her guests like gold and is a wealth of information if you need restaurant or activity recommendations. Enjoy your stay! :-)

What a wonderfully kept historical Inn which has all of the modern conveniences that make you feel at home. The beds are comfey, the energy is calming, it’s secure, and best of all - it’s right on the best party path on the east coast. Grab your tennis shoes and explore this wonderful little town’s history while you rest in the delightful ‘Stemmermans Inn’ at night. Tell Fran. “Hi!.” She’s a wonderful hostess.Rooms: The rooms are serene. You can feel the history in the air. The rooms have comfortable furniture, soft mattresses, big screen tv, and a little kitchenette. It’s inviting, promotes a sense of safety, and provides a nice entrance in to this quaint little seaside town called Wilmington.Nearby activities: Escape rooms, museums galore, great selection of tours: horse, haunted, and historical. There are riverboat tours, Fishing boats, NC Battleship tour, shopping, eating, drinking, and all types of music going on all at once.Safety: It’s quiet and safe. The people are friendly and helpful.Walkability: This Inn is in the heart of this historical district.Food & drinks: This area is chucked full of great eating pubs and restaurants.

We had a wonderful experience at the Inn! We reserved the rooms for our wedding weekend so we could stay here with our wedding party, and it was perfect! Each room is very inviting, clean, and cozy. Fran is amazing and ensured we had everything we needed during our stay!

The inn is beautiful (original stained glass, are you kidding?!) and very cozy. The location is great; there are a lot of cool shops and restaurants around and we loved the second floor patio overlooking the river. Parking is included and there were no additional unexpected fees during our stay.The room was very clean and comfortable. Towels, sheets, pillows, water pressure in the shower were all immaculate and requests for additional items were met very quickly.Fran is SO wonderful and helpful—she made sure we had everything we needed and even brought over leaves from her personal aloe plant for my very burnt friend. She is the reason we booked our stay here and we are so glad we did, such a genuinely friendly and awesome gal. Miss Fran if you’re reading this, thank you for everything!

We stayed at Stemmerman's Inn for a little weekend getaway. Checking in was super easy and smooth. Fran is amazing and very helpful. Our room was cute and cozy and within walking distance of all our destinations. We will definitely be using them again when we come back to Wilmington!

Don’t hesitate and book Stemmerman’s inn for your Wilmington stay! Every single part of our stay here was phenomenal- Fran is so so nice and accommodating, the suites are cute and super comfortable, and it’s an easy walk to anything downtown (including the Live Oak Bank Pavilion). We will definitely be staying here again in the future.

I have been staying at Stemmermans off and on for years. I like the homey feel, spacious rooms and love the location. My most recent stay in May was especially enjoyable thanks to the welcoming and efficient inn keeper, Fran. She greeted us on the street to be sure we knew where to park, gave us a check in tour and made suggestions of where to eat and drink nearby. She did this in a way that somehow made us feel like old friends. She has a true talent for hospitality!

We had a wonderful experience at Stemmerman's for a family wedding. We took over the inn for the weekend with the groom having his own suite to get ready with his groomsmen and family/friends occupying the remaining rooms. Fran, the manager, was helpful and attentive, making sure everyone had what they needed. The rooms were immaculate and the location to the wedding venue could not have been any better. Highly recommend a stay a Stemmermans. We don't think you will be disappointed!

We stayed at Stemmerman's during our 5 nights in Wilmington. Fran was exceptionally friendly and the process of checking in was easy. Parking was across the street with labeled spots for Stemmerman guests.The location was perfect for walking to restaurants and shops along Front street and the riverwalk. The room was clean and spacious.We stayed in Suite 2. You do have to walk up several stairs to get to your room and then the main bedroom was up another flight of stairs.

What a super cute place to stay at! Highly recommend this place!!!! Fran is a sweetheart. She made our stay 10 times better. Her hospitality was amazing. We stayed there for my brother's wedding, who got married at the venue attached to this inn. The rooms were cute, comfortable, Ac worked great, beds were nice, and the shower pressure was amazing. I would definitely stay there again. They also cleaned up the honeymoon suite and made it extra special for the bride and groom after we used the room to get ready for the wedding with the bride. My whole family stayed here and had a wonderful experience. 10/10 great place to stay

We had a great experience! The suite was clean and had everything we needed, the bed was very comfortable, the the location can't be beat. A dedicated parking space is a huge plus as well. Fran was wonderful and my husband and I plan on a return trip in the near future.
