Beautiful Retro Beach Hotel.
Ive traveled extensively for work and play, so the franchise hotels get a little boring. I was in Carolina Beach NC, and this little place pops onto my screen. I liked the colors and the theme, so I booked it for a couple of nights. Pulling in and parking, I immediately felt like I was back in my childhood at one of those places that dotted the beach everywhere. Entering the room, I found a brand new renovation complete with higher end fixtures. The fridge and microwave were completely retro. The beds are quite comfortable and thebroom was clean. The location is perfect as it sits right on the Boardwalk. I was able to park and walk everywhere i wanted to go including work. This will not be the last time I stay there. The staff is equally as awesome. I checked in online and they sent me thebdoor code. Received good morning texts asking how my stay was, and giving tips on where to eat and things to do. Again thoroughly awesome. Do yourself a favor and check out this little gem.

We live a small motel and have been bring our kids to CB for MANY years (they’re now grown)-the boardwalk inn was beautifully remodeled and so close to the boardwalk to the arcade and restaurants…and the beach! Having the dog run was perfect for a quick bathroom break for our pup and all the different sitting areas meant you could spread out…we lived sitting in our rocking chairs on the porch (we were in #6 so we were second floor at the end so no one was walking by so Milo could sit out there with us. They had the grand opening while we were there and there was food and drink and everyone was friendly and nice! Don’t pass this one up-it’s affordable and convenient to everything!
