2/10 Poor

We checked in early for a fee, opened the door to the worst stale cigarette smell, the bedspread had another persons hair on it, the shower floor was peeling black paint, the AC unit had a red caution light on it because the filter had not been replaced. Underneath the sink was a stain that looked like someone had thrown up, the rug that was a border to the bed was so dirty that we had to keep our shoes on, and as I was sitting on the bed I noticed through the large mirror that other guests trash was still under the bed. Also I found 2 small dead roaches. We left, tried to contact Expedia about the condition of the room with no luck. I’ve contacted five on our side about this issue. The pictures say it all. I also have phone numbers for the other out of state guests who couldn’t go home but we’re absolutely sickened by the condition of this property. I hope I never have to stay in something like this again!! I spent over $499 for two nights and conditions were so bad that I’d rather leave than endure them.

While not the most clean and quiet place, it is a great, walkable location for the price. Parking is hard to get even though you get a pass- they have a small lot that is always full- had to wait around to park and then did not want to use my car for the rest of the trip. Very stained carpet, bathroom tiles painted over with what looks like wall paint so the shower floor was chipping. Bathroom tiny and mildewy-smelling and the bathroom window was open to the back alley upon arrival.

Was a good stay, good location, close to the beach. Only thing was there was no hot water for shower or the sink.

I don’t recommend.
The rug underneath the bed was totally disgusting. No way should your feet be bare walking on it. It needs to be trashed. The shower was not a place to shower. I was thankful to have a roof over my head and air conditioning. Having the boardwalk close by was a plus.

Carolina Beach
Very clean and staff easy to reach by text or phone. We just needed a a basic room to sleep in since we were visiting our kids at their beach house rental during the day. The room had all the basics: bed, tv, bath with shower, small refrigerator, Keurig coffee and bath toiletries. No hair dryer or microwave but we didn’t miss them.

You can't beat the area, you are right in the boardwalk. Room could be cleaner, dust was pretty bad. The staff is very pleasant and responsive. They do not touch up your roon daily. I booked room in March, they waiting until the day I was checking in August 15th to tell me the cost was almost $80 more than what I agreed to on Expedia. I believe this is on purpose because you don't have an option to look other places at this point.

Our room was cute and small. It was only me and my husband, so it was fine. The room had a small refrigerator, so that was helpful putting drinks and food in. There is a big screen tv that was nice to watch on our down time. The only thing that I did not like was the air conditioning unit was in the bathroom, so it was right next to the toilet, so that was a bit awkward. The place is very convenient to everything you need, restaurants, shopping, and the beach. We were upstairs, so if you have mobility issues, you should call before booking to see if they have a room on the ground floor.

The property was clean and in a great location. You are close to all the restaurants and just a few blocks from the beach/boardwalk. The hotel exceeded my expectations. For the price and the location you can't beat it.

The owner/operator was great. The floors were filthy and the rug underneath the bed needed to be replaced or cleaned. We requested to use their vacuum cleaner to clean the floors ourselves. No good. Other that? It’s a very good location and access to a lot of things near by.
