The rooms were nicely appointed and modern. Everything was very clean. Snacks and a few waters were provided upon arrival, which was a nice touch. Parking lot located across the street in a private lot. $25/day. Location was great, located next to the community college, quiet location, yet walkable to downtown attractions and venues. No management located on site, but they did seem very responsive.

We had a great stay at the Hive! Being pet friendly and on the bottom floor made it super convenient for us, also there were so many walkable paths & pet friendly restaurants nearby!

Happy and whimsical is the room. The balcony is cute.  The parking space I paid extra for was bad. It was #202 which was all the way at the end and a giant trash holder was in the way. I parked there once, after that i paid to park on the street. If another vehicle would have been in the space next to #202 then my car would have been trapped. The gravel is bad too. I hope they change the whole parking lot. It needs a makeover.

We have stayed at The Hive in Wilmington, NC, several times over the past 4 years and love it each time. We choose The Hive b/c we know it will be clean, cozy, spacious, pet friendly, and have nicer accommodations than at an air bnb or comparably priced hotel in the area. The location in Wilmington is great as it’s 2 blocks from the river walk. And the beach is an easy 10-15 min drive. This is our go-to spot in Wilmington.

Modern decor, thoughtful amenities, comfortable lodgings, quiet area. Appreciated osmosis water filter.  Even sat out on our balcony for a bit. Paid parking, which is understandable since it's downtown, literally across the street from the building.  However, be aware parking spaces are tight on a gravel lot. Just blocks from several dining options and riverwalk. Will definitely try to stay here again!

I was a little skeptical.  Keyless entry? No desk staff?  No matter!  This property is well thought out and did not skip any steps.  From reverse osmosis water to Brooklinen sheets, we were very happy with our choice.

Great place to stay! Quiet location, yet convenient to the riverfront, historic district, and restaurants. Bedding, amenities, and appliances are first class. We were very comfortable. Just one suggestion - checkout instructions or acknowledgment would be nice. We ran the dishwasher, and left long before the checkout time, but were just a little uneasy that we missed something.

I was specifically looking for a hotel that was pet friendly, had a kitchen, and was close to the downtown waterfront. The Hive checked all these boxes for me. The rooms were bright, sunny and very comfortable, and self check in was a breeze!

I was specifically looking for a hotel that was pet friendly, had a kitchen, and was close to the downtown waterfront. The Hive checked all these boxes for me. The rooms were bright, sunny and very comfortable, and self check in was a breeze! I brought my 4 legged friend with me and when I opened the door to my unit there was a wonderful surprise for him! I won't give it away so that the next person can also have a wonderful surprise! But it certainly made me feel that my pet was not just welcomed there, but they understood how important it was to me that I had a wonderful place to stay where I could bring my dog.  The unit was spotless, their cleaning crew did a spectacular job.  Everything was well stocked and ready for guests to enjoy their stay.  I can't say enough good things about the Hive!  I highly recommend it!
