Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Internet was very slow, beds were very comfortable. Only negatives I can say is there is not many options available near by for food. The hotel does offer food but during our stay breakfast was only buffet w 6 options available, they do have lunch and dinner options but w a picky kid we needed more options. We are normally a Carolina or Kure beach people which everything is very close by and a lot more going on. This hotel is at the end of Atlantic beach very low key relaxing and queit besides the few people that were extremely Inebriated. Also the bathroom in our room was very tight/small but handicapped accessible bc it’s just a shower but if you need room to move around definitely not possible with the bathroom door shut. But overall we really enjoyed our stay. Only reason I didn’t give 5stars is bc the internet was so horrible and our cell service wasn’t that great so it was difficult to navigate things needed to be done remotely. I will say the room was nice and the view was great! It was dog friendly but definitely should look into having a better designated dog area.

Great stay with super friendly staff and views

From the time we stopped inside till we left everything was perfect. Beautiful views, friendly staff on hoyrl and on the beach. They provided beach chairs and umbrellas an extra bonus. Restaurant was good, little pricey. I've had better seafood but still tasted good. Every room has a balcony and ocean view.

Stayed here for a last minute vacation for my boyfriend and I. We booked a double queen room and were not too thrilled with the cleanliness of the room. You can definitely tell the rooms are not thoroughly cleaned in between stays. Very dusty like things haven’t been wiped, the remote was covered in crumbs and dust. The fridge and cabinets were nasty. Almost every single piece of linen we got whether it was our bedding, pillow case, bath towel, etc.. had hair on it… short hairs, long hairs. Not very pleasant to have to pick all of them off your “clean” towels or bedding. The shower curtain is linen and would stick to you while your showering which was not pleasant having a dirty, wet shower curtain touching you. Our AC unit was leaking into our balcony, leaving a nasty green wet puddle outside. The entrance and elevators were also pretty gross. House keeping is on an ask before 11am basis as well. Overall not the worst we have experienced but also not the greatest. You get what you pay for.

Check in was listed at 4pm but our room was not ready untill 6:15pm. With the extra time we thought our room would be clean. There was sand all over the floor ( given this is the beach so ill relax on that point a bit ) and the shower was nasty and scum over the handle. The vent was also very dusty.
