We’ve stayed here twice, it’s a nice but basic beachfront hotel. Front desk manager was excellent, and the housekeeping staff is great at keeping up with all of the towels and sandy surfaces.

Decent place to stay. Not fancy and rooms could use updates.walls are very thin so we listened to screaming kidsnext door .I would opt for the upper floor, better view and no noise above you. Like the beach being so close

It was amazing & the price was by far the best!! We will definitely be coming back. It is right beside the pier, the boardwalk & only a few miles from the Aquarium as well as Fort Fisher. Everything is literally in walking distance.

It was the perfect stay for my family of 6, aged ranging from 1 year to 17 years. Walking distance of the pier, the beach, and a convenience store as well as multiple restaurants. Quick walk to the beach. Place was clean and comfortable. Staff was friendly. 10/10 recommend.

Like staying with family
This was one of the friendliest places we have ever stayed. The staff was wonderful and very nice. We also enjoyed talking with the manager, Dave, who was onsite daily walking the property making sure everything was good for all the guest. This was our first time staying here but felt like we’d been staying there for years. We will definitely plan another trip next year. The only suggestion I would have, since the property doesn’t have an elevator, is if you are handicapped to make sure you request a ground floor cause the stairs to the 3rd floor are a little steep and narrow.
