The hotel itself is your typical older beach property. However, it has been renovated and the rooms are clean and convenient to the beach and boardwalk. The pool area is also clean. It's well worth the stay!

The setting was great right on the Carolina Beach Boardwalk but not so close that there were random people wandering through. Room was cozy for 2 people.

The first impression was not the greatest because the bathroom was not clean there was sand in the shower and dirty towels left in the bathroom BUT the property manager apologized and was very nice and quick to resolve the problem and got some to clean the bathroom within the hour. Other than that it was very nice, clean and people were friendly. The kitchen with a fridge freezer was nice and the even had pots and pans for you to use on the stove and a coffee pod coffeemaker. So very nice property overall.

We booked a room with a kitchenette. Did not have a kitchenette Mold and stuff in the bathroom, exposed wires where the smoke detector should be. If you're more than 5'3 then the shower is probably too small for you. Location is great though and the pool is decent

Great location! Nice room. My only suggestion is to switch to non-scented cleaning products as the fabuloso smell is very pungent. Also, if you stay on the weekend the bar across the street is VERY LOUD

Hotel and staff were amazing! Feel bad rating a 3 but the bar next door (live music) was so loud from 830p-12 midnight. The hotel staff said the bar being torn down soon but it was so crazy loud (like over 100 decibel when most noise ordinance 75). We couldn’t sleep until it stopped.

We only stayed one night with our two dogs. All rooms are pet friendly. My wife and I were very surprised how clean the rooms were and that’s all we really wanted. Soft bathroom towels, nice bedspread and blankets, little kitchen area. No pet hair left behind for the last visitors. We will most definitely return. Only a three minute walk to the boardwalk which was really nice.
