Guest Reviews & Ratings
I was pleasantly surprised by my stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean, and it was so convenient that they were able to accommodate all three rooms close together even though we arrived later than expected. The fact that I had chosen a room with a king-size bed made my stay even better. The service was outstanding, with the staff being extremely friendly and accommodating, especially in a stressful situation. The location was ideal for us as it was perfect for finding places to eat and shop within a short walking distance, although it's not right in the center of all the action. The dining experience was good, but nothing out of the ordinary. Overall, a great value for money with comfortable rooms and excellent service.
My stay at the hotel was just right. The housekeeping team did a phenomenal job ensuring my room was clean and well-stocked with fresh towels. The hotel truly exceeded my expectations in terms of cleanliness and comfort.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with clean and comfortable rooms that met our needs. The upscale features like the bed, linen, and pillows added a nice touch, but the room felt a bit humid despite the AC. The service was fantastic, with courteous and helpful staff, especially during check-in and addressing our concerns. The location was convenient for us, close to UNCW, with plenty of dining and shopping options within walking distance. The dining experience was satisfying, offering a good selection, though some standard items were missing. Overall, it was a good choice for a stay with a few minor drawbacks.
