Nice for UNCW stays

Nice breakfast set up. Front desk people are nice and accommodating. Beds are comfortable and thermostat works well. Walls are not paper thin, so you don't hear your neighbors.

Nice clean hotel. The only thing about the room we stayed in was that there was no closet to hang clothes. But everything was clean and guest service was great

Joseph, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not worth it

It was a okay hotel. The breakfast was good and the room was nice but the service was poor and housekeeping disnt never come clean the room so the trash was bad. They kept closing the pool when it would drizzle with no lighting or thunder. The toilet seat was broken and clogged up the 1st night. When we reported it they just handed us a plunger to unclog it ourselves. Will not book there again.

Eldred, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Not a bad place to stay - just needs TLC

Bed was comfortable and room was fairly clean. New furniture...easy to see they are trying to update their spaces. Whoever is doing the renovations isn't taking rime to glue down carpet in places, or make even cuts. Our closet carpet wasn't glued down, the nightstands on either side of the bed were loose (just a little weight and they will come off the wall), and there was mildew on the shower floor. The drain in the shower was backed up, but they immediately fixes it. Breakfast was good - cheese omelets, sausage, biscuits and gravy, etc. Close enough to walk to restaurants and Walmart. Friendly and helpful staff, a list of nearby restaurants beyond walking distance, location all made for a positive experience.

The pool was not open at all while we was there. I would like to get some of my money back for that reason. I booked there for the pool and was not even allowed to swim.
Tiffany, 3-night trip

I wanted an economical place near downtown Wilmington, this was perfect. Staff was really nice. Free breakfast was good. I would go back.
