We were very disappointed that we had to wait an extra 45 minutes to get in our room because it wasn't ready. This was true for a number of guests making the lobby area very crowded. The desk clerk didn't seem to care very cold. Some sort of accommodations should have been given for our inconvenience. The room was fine however water stayed on the floor at the sliding door and air conditioner which posed a accident concern as I'm recovering from a broken ankle. We enjoyed our stay but we were expecting a lot more and nicer considering the cost.

Love emerald isle and pinn knolls but I think it's ridiculous that you have to pay for parking at a hotel that you literally pay 2k to stay at already. That's absurd.

Was able to check in 3 hours early for a $25 charge, completely worth it since I had a Teams Meeting and could attend in the privacy of my room vs the lobby or dining area. Sunday Brunch was amazing along with our server. Highly recommend!

The hotel was comfortable. Room were small but close to the water. The restaurant had just opened up, the service was fair. Food was over priced. Not much for a fitness gym as 2 treadmills and weights. Dog friendly, which was good. The pool closed down for cleaning which was a surprise for us.. We may come back.

Great location and access to beach and pool. All rooms have beach view. The room are very old and not clean. I am 5.3 and the bathroom space is very tight for me and can't take a shower without touching the wall and curtain. There is dust and hair in corners of the room. The chairs and umbrella’s are first come first serve- so safe to take your own.

Liked: Staff & service
Dirty, needs room renovation, and structural work throughout the hotel, and a high parking lot fee added onto the bill is absurd. I totally understand this place needs to make some money off certain fees and limit the cars that the parking lot has but it should be around $25 at most in my opinion. I will say even though i did not eat at their restaurant, I'm glad that at least they were able to open it this year since it wasn't available last year. Also, allowing pets in the hotel is clearly the ownership's choice but at least make sure the rooms are cleaned a bit better because those who don't bring pets shouldn't have to deal with that. This 2nd visit was definitely my last but I appreciate the respectful hotel workers for their service and kindness!

Balcony was filthy with hair and rusty puddles from the ac dripping. Shower shampoo bottles were dripping all down the wall and shower floor leaving a yellow/orange mess. We never took a shower because the hair clumps in the shower and bathroom floor. Doors were dirty gross to touch. Beds sheets stained and mildew smell. Hallways reeked of marijuana. Very disappointed.
