The rooms were very outdated. It was “clean” for the most part. The bathtub in our room had rust and the fixtures were old. Definitely needs a renovation soon. Private beach access was nice. The hot tub and pool area were okay- a little cramped when it was busy.

Lovely oceanfront hotel. The gardens & lawn area are fabulous. Enjoyed the hammocks on the lawn. Really loved seeing all the bunnies in the garden area! Nice to have fire pits available to enjoy in the evening. I would definitely return.

Beautiful grounds! Wonderful room and view of the sound. I live in town and my daughter came to town for a few days and thought I’d try something different. I’ve stayed everywhere from north to south end of Wrightsville beach and Blockade runner was top notch on all counts. Loved it

This is an example of a resort that HAS always known how to have good customer service for sixty years, and they continually update their room decor and their facility. We wanted to be treated well for our fifties wedding anniversary and we were very happy that we chose this resort

More of a headache than it's worth...
Well, the parking situation was horrible. The parking spaces were limited so you either street park or valet and hand over the keys to your brand new car. The valet was extremely rude. The air conditioning in our room DID NOT work. It was on the entire time and never cooled down. It was cooler in the hallway and elevator. The shower was mediocre at best, the shower head leaked and the handle was held together with a dry wall screw. On a positive note, the courtyard was very pretty and had adorable beach bunny rabbits.

Unbeatable location
Great location! Loved the view from our room and the hotel amenities were great. The staff was friendly and helpful. My main complaint was due to the shower which was really hard to get working correctly and the beds weren’t very comfortable. Otherwise we had a great stay!

Absolute worst hotel staff I have ever dealt with. Room was dirty. Somebody else’s dirty tray outside the door. The front desk staff member was extremely rude. I have never dealt with a worse staff member of a hotel. This is the first review I’ve ever left on a hotel or restaurant but I felt it was warranted. Terrible, absolutely terrible staff member and facility. Stay away.
