Unit 512 is a poorly maintained room with plumbing, sandy floor, dirty furniture, and inoperable televisions . However the staff were doing their best as they can, given the current shortage of staff. We almost move to the other hotels in the strip. They were nice enough to refund for the resort fee . We love the surroundings and Wrightsville Beach.
