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.

The room was clean and the view was great but the restaurant was only open 3 hours a day for a couple days. The resort is the last one at a dead end street and you have to go to town for anything to eat or drink. The restaurant staff was great though.
