Helene, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

So gorgeous! Love the remodel! Had a fantastic stay.
Carolyn, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We had a great visit - the grounds are really expansive, so there are many little pockets to relax, from the pool to beach, pool bar and corn hole/Adirondack chairs. The room was clean with good coffee. The daily destination fee covers towels, beach chairs and umbrella. The location is really great too.
Liz, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Pleasant stay

Everything was wonderful. I really thought it was nice that they don’t charge for chairs, umbrellas, and even boogie boards for the kids down at the beach. We had a great stay.
David, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Fav spot in Wrightsville/Wilmington

Love this hotel! Beach chic renovations to a classic older property with the BEST beachfront access. Second time staying here and we booked again for Sept. Staff helpful and friendly, coffee and poolside cocktails delish and valets super helpful in a somewhat hectic parking lot. Can’t wait to come back.

Staff was attentive. Beach staff was excellent. Food was great.
Anne, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

Thin walls, bland rooms.

The walls must be as thin as a single sheet of drywall- you can hear absolutely every work either of your neighbors are saying. I’ve been in a lot of hotel rooms, this by far was the worst, most awkward and uncomfortable.
Scott, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Maddie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It all was great!
Marcel, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Gorgeous revamp on its way to being spectacular

Staff were amazing! They were having to run manual operation of the elevators and handle a leak in lobby roof, but they did it all with a smile. If they can handle the smell of the hard water that gives an unpleasant odor to the room and if they can get the pool bar drinks a little colder, I’d give it a perfect 10. They’ve definitely mastered the mid century aesthetic, though. That deserves a perfect score.
erika, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Had a wonderful time. All of the staff was absolutely great! We are already planning to return next year.
Stephanie, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel was so great. Great vibe, comfortable spacious room, fantastic pool and beach area!
Christine, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

After a rough check-in, we received a warm reach-out from management and the rest of our stay was excellent. Great facilities, great location, friendly staff, clean, etc. Maybe some kinks to work out still with transition of ownership, but we’d stay again for sure.
Benjamin, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Rooms and especially the pool need to be upgraded.

Family weekend

Family gathering returning to Wrightsville beach. We stayed at Blockade Runner a few years ago. We heard through friends that it had been renovated. We had enjoyed the outdoor area and tee beach previously but the inside was old. Nicely refurbished hotel. They need to publish how they take payment. ( upfront everything, partial payment for rooms or at desk on arrival but not soculent one thing and do another)
Gina, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice place and w/ a couple improvements could be G

It was a really nice place and an enjoyabke place to stay. Just two comments: the AC doesnt go below 70° so in the heat of summer its a little warm and no real fridge. But otherwise it was very enjoyable.
Montraville, 3-night trip
