Beach stay

The bad first, there wasn’t any way to change the shower water temperature and it was too hot for me! The bed was kind of lumpy and not that comfortable. Everything else was good, you’re right next to the beach and the pier. Which was the convenience I wanted.

Charging port

Was not expecting ocean view. The only essential item needed is a charging port which made it challenging

Great location but shabby looking room

Great location but the room smelled like a perfume factory and had no windows that could be opened. The smell got less noticeable but still lingered. The furniture was in disrepair with tears in the covering. The pool was nice.

Perfect for an over night stay while traveling across North Carolina. Great location for a quick walk to the beach and located near multiple restaurants.

Ok

Wasn't bad, the room we were in hadn't been updated yet and needed it. Met our needs for a place at the beach
William, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We love staying here, this is our 2nd time staying here. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the staff is very friendly and helpful, the only issue we had this time was a problem with the toilet and tub backing up but otherwise it was a great stay

We were very impressed with the cleanliness of our room. The beds were super comfy as well.
Norma, 4-night trip

DONT take a deep breath

Location was great, the staff very friendly. The room was fine except for the smell. The smell of whatever they clean with was so strong it was difficult to breath. It never dissipated for the 24 hours I was there. I would not stay there again because of this.

Early check in
Sam, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

Great affordable stay

This hotel worked fine for our family of 5, the room was a good size, and beds were comfortable. The property is quite old and a bit run down, however it actually was very clean. The pool area was very nice, and great beach access! Our room was very clean, some things were updated like the floors and sink. It was very easy to request clean towels, toilet paper, etc. It is a good option for those on a budget wanting to stay right on the beach. Staff we encountered were friendly.
Emelie, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Liked closeness to beach an option of just staying a night! Liked two seperate bedrooms. Did not like very old furniture or that ac was only in living room
Alyssa, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Overall great stay! The only things we found not good about our stay was there was no exhaust fan in the bathroom and as a result mold was on the ceiling above the shower. The other was there was no central air which is ok but the air conditioner in the living area gave off an odd odor like it has not been run in a while.
