Check in was easy and staff were very helpful. This is a hotel that is being renovated and I think will be at great when finished. We would love to come back when the tiki bar and grill are open(closed in January). Kids loved having their own space with the bunk bed room with their own tv. We walked to The Spot for dinner and drinks. Had gone to Jack Mackerels for lunch and explored the Fort Fisher museum. We would love to come back!

I loved the cleanliness of the facility. The staff was extremely helpful. The only thing I personally wasn't a fan of was the very firm mattress in room 314. My arms were numb all night due to laying on such a hard surface.

A very pleasant experience! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. My queen room was clean, comfortable — and I loved the retro touches like the microwave design. Location is beachfront, with the sand mere steps away. Would definitely stay again.

The rooms were attractive and clean. The view from the ocean-side balcony was very nice. The staff was very friendly and approachable. To make this place a really top-notch destination, a continental breakfast should be included in the price.
