Bed was uncomfortable. Shower was small and drained slowly. Overall, the room served it's purpose, it was clean and it's in a great, convenient location.

6/10 Good

While not the most clean and quiet place, it is a great, walkable location for the price. Parking is hard to get even though you get a pass- they have a small lot that is always full- had to wait around to park and then did not want to use my car for the rest of the trip. Very stained carpet, bathroom tiles painted over with what looks like wall paint so the shower floor was chipping. Bathroom tiny and mildewy-smelling and the bathroom window was open to the back alley upon arrival.

4/10 Fair

I don’t recommend.
The rug underneath the bed was totally disgusting. No way should your feet be bare walking on it. It needs to be trashed. The shower was not a place to shower. I was thankful to have a roof over my head and air conditioning. Having the boardwalk close by was a plus.

Carolina Beach
Very clean and staff easy to reach by text or phone. We just needed a a basic room to sleep in since we were visiting our kids at their beach house rental during the day. The room had all the basics: bed, tv, bath with shower, small refrigerator, Keurig coffee and bath toiletries. No hair dryer or microwave but we didn’t miss them.

You can't beat the area, you are right in the boardwalk. Room could be cleaner, dust was pretty bad. The staff is very pleasant and responsive. They do not touch up your roon daily. I booked room in March, they waiting until the day I was checking in August 15th to tell me the cost was almost $80 more than what I agreed to on Expedia. I believe this is on purpose because you don't have an option to look other places at this point.

10/10 Exceptional

Our room was cute and small. It was only me and my husband, so it was fine. The room had a small refrigerator, so that was helpful putting drinks and food in. There is a big screen tv that was nice to watch on our down time. The only thing that I did not like was the air conditioning unit was in the bathroom, so it was right next to the toilet, so that was a bit awkward. The place is very convenient to everything you need, restaurants, shopping, and the beach. We were upstairs, so if you have mobility issues, you should call before booking to see if they have a room on the ground floor.

The property was clean and in a great location. You are close to all the restaurants and just a few blocks from the beach/boardwalk. The hotel exceeded my expectations. For the price and the location you can't beat it.

The owner/operator was great. The floors were filthy and the rug underneath the bed needed to be replaced or cleaned. We requested to use their vacuum cleaner to clean the floors ourselves. No good. Other that? It’s a very good location and access to a lot of things near by.

staff was very nice, check-in process was easy. almost everything was in walking distance which was very convenient. room was clean for the most part besides some ants in the bathroom, but it had just rained so that might be why they were there.

No frills option to a traditional hotel. If you’re mainly interested in going to the beach and having walking distance restaurants, then this is the perfect place. Only gripe would be that the toilet seat didn’t look thoroughly cleaned. Everything else was spotless.

2/10 Poor

Avoid this place
The room was in a good location but that was the most positive part of the experience. It clearly had not been cleaned (we found a huge hairball in the shower) We did not receive any clean bedding or towels during our stay and the mattress pad had a huge stain (afraid to guess what it was from) Would not recommend this hotel
