Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests overwhelmingly praised the hotel's beachfront location and easy beach access, with many highlighting the proximity to the ocean and the convenience of nearby restaurants. Cleanliness received mixed reviews: while several guests found their rooms and facilities very clean, others reported issues such as dirty rooms, unpleasant odors, and maintenance problems. The pool and gazebo areas were frequently mentioned as standout amenities, especially for families. Staff were generally described as friendly, helpful, and quick to resolve minor issues, though there were isolated complaints about unresponsiveness. Breakfast was considered adequate by some, but others found it lacking in variety or quality. Overall, the positives of location, pool, and service stood out most to guests.

Anonymous, Oct 2017
Pros (+) The staff were very friendly and helpful. My family got stranded due to car trouble, and they managed to find us a room quickly with a 10% discount. The free breakfast was very nice. Right next to the beach. Excellent location. Very close to Jockey's Ridge and the Wright Brothers Memorial. Would definitely stay here again.

Pros (+) Upon arrival the outdated look isn't bad, but then the young brunette chick with an accent gives you attitude, dirty looks and tells you she "isn't sure" when your room will be ready after it is PAST check-in....so already off to a bad start! Then they fail to call you when your room finally is ready—when they tell you to your face they will call you the moment your room is cleaned—and you're put ...
Cons (-) Almost everything besides the location
