I loved the location, but first room had a massive stain on sheets, looked like soaked through from comforter. 2nd room was cleaner, but Dead Dried Up Frog in the corner of bathroom, must've been there weeks.

The location was fantastic regards to walking distance for everything. The parking was a nightmare probably due to the restaurant next door. It was also very noisy at night which is fine if you’re enjoying the nightlife. But with littles with you, not very family friendly. The staff was very accommodating and wonderful.

I like the location, however at night it was loud due to the bar next door playing live music. The parking needs some more spots, but that is normal for a beach town. My room did not have a clothes hanger rack or closet, so I had to hang my clothes on the back of the chair. No clothes bar in the room at all. Overall, it served my purpose so I will probably be back again.

Absolutely horrific. I have never seen a room so dirty. Stains on the sheets dirt on the floor and on the wallls. Looked like nobody had wiped the walls since it was built. Very unsafe area. Had to get a different hotel.

Disappointed
Started out with a phone call asking us to check in early, 2pm. Got there and no one was there. Had to call and meet someone at 3pm. They denied ever having conversations with me. Then we found 2 roaches. When I made the reservation I specifically asked if the restaurant was open during our stay. They told me Mon and Tues they were closed... Guess what they were closed till Thursday. To say the least due to our jobs we don't get a lot of time off so we were a little disappointed but we made the most of it by driving into Wilmington and did the river walk and strolled shops. We also visited Michael's Seafood which I highly recommend. We also visited the aquarium which was nice as well.
