Great location, able to walk to the beach & a lot of dining options! Clean room, all good. Pity the pool looked great but still locked / closed. Bathroom @ room 13 had an issue with a way too short shower curtain that left the floor flooded every time.

I like the cozy and homey feel that we felt inside our room. Also, the property was very clean inside and out. It was nice and quiet, especially in the evenings, when you would normally expect to hear more commotion. The property is in the middle of all of the excitement as well. I also truly appreciate that the property's staff was in regular communication with me and they promptly answered any questions that I had during my stay. Will stay here again.

It was ok!

It was amazing trip. The only part that was bad was the shower. The shower wasn’t clean. Otherwise it was good. I let the manager know and I hope it will be clean for the next guest. I will not be back. Maybe some will see it as not important, but every guest should have a clean bathroom when they check in. That’s just good customer service. I’ve been in customer service for five years and I think that having a bathroom that’s not when I arrive is not good.
This the shower. It was like that when I arrived. I let the manager know. I hope it will be clean for the next guest.

Very convenient to the beach. Parking area is very limited and tight. Noises can easily be heard from other units, bring a white noise machine to help have a good night's sleep. If on the first floor you will hear the occupants above walking around.

NOT SAFE NOT CLEAN NOT NOT FOR FAMILY !!!!

NOT FOR FAMILY STAY IS TERRIBLE WITH LITTLE CHILDRENS. Our deaf toddler got sick the first night , very thing walls we could hear All conversations, bathroom super tiny and we found poop on the toilet when we arrived . and due to the fact that our toddler got sick and was crying that made the guests bangs the walls and say shut up to us , we notified management of the problem and instead of them taking care of it they allow the guests to call the police on us because they heard our kid crying . Yes our toddler was in pain sick and we were trying to leave the motel that night we didn’t feel safe with those angry guests , no manager on sight you are on your own . We tried to ask for refund since we only spent 1 night out of 4 nights , management said they were sticking to their policy and not refund us or care to make us feel welcome or care for . We felt discriminated and unsafe . EVEN THE POLICE APOLOGIZED TO US FOR THE EVENT . This motel is TERRIBLE . NEVER AGAIN !!

Hidden gem

The room was very clean and comfortable and located close to the Carolina Beach boardwalk. The heat in my room was not working and I texted the motel manager. They were very responsive and had someone out within the hour to fix the heat. When they couldn't fix it, they moved me to another room that was nicer than my original booking. I would stay here again.
