Very nice hotel - clean, friendly staff, very good breakfast. The hotel is only 8 minutes from the beach; fresh Market and Belks are walkable. The only drawback was the room we stayed in faces the street. Even though we were on the third floor we could still hear the road noise throughout the night. It also didn’t help that our room was directly across from the ice machine. Bring earplugs in case you end up in a room that faces the street. I would stay here again but I’d request to be on the other side of the hallway. It is a very nice place.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The property was beautifully landscaped and provided ample indoor and outdoor sitting spaces for socializing, private work calls and relaxing. My room was very clean and the layout was simple yet elegant. I loved the evening social time and breakfast was fantastic. I'll definitely stay here again! 2 cons were that opening and closing the doors were loud and the bathroom mirror didn't light up.

Had a handicap room even though we aren’t handicapped. It was clean except for the shower. It had hair on the shower floor. The water from the shower drained out onto the floor and out of the bathroom. Someone needs to fix that. This is a new hotel and I know that they are still working on getting things right. Other than those 2 issues, the hotel is beautiful and the staff are great. It is walking distance to shopping. Will be back again.
