Excellent location Great staff, Beautiful White Sandy Beaches
Pros:

The Manager of this property was very accommodating. Everything we needed she made sure we were taken care of. The staff was great. Excellent location. Some of the reviews about the breakfast are no good and I don't understand why. Sausage, Eggs, toast, bagels, cream cheese, English muffins, yogurt, waffles, cereal , milk, whip cream, awesome coffee bar ! The breakfast was very nice ! This is a very busy property and they do an excellent job keeping it clean. Great group running this place. My only complaint was people with big dogs that let their dogs poo near the rooms and didn't pick it up. Exactly why many hotels do not welcome pets. I would definitely stay there again !! I would definitely stay there again !!

Cons:

Pure Thugs !! My only complaint was people with big dogs that let their dogs poo near the rooms and didn't pick it up. Exactly why many hotels do not welcome pets.

We were really happy with the location. The price was ok esp. given high summer season, but Lordy, the smell and bugs wa
Pros:

The location, the price.

Cons:

The smell of the room, the dirty walls and stained carpet, the cracked up bathroom shower and walls, which is how the bugs probably got in. The free hot breakfast was horrible: instant coffee, watered-down scramble eggs and sausage that was “mystery meat.”

do not stay here
Pros:

THE ROOM SMELLED LIKE MILDEW AND WAS NOT CLEAN.

Cons:

Room was nasty and smelled. Light on bed stand was broken and laid over on table top. Bathroom floor was nasty, water on floor in bathroom. Cleaned up with towel and it was black when done. Tried to get other room and was told they were booked. They should not have rented this room. They didn’t seemed to concerned about it because other hotels where booked. We were stuck there. Mildew on ceiling in bathroom and ac cover kept falling off

Moldy Room
Pros:

Low cost

Cons:

The key card didn't work a lot and there was mold all over the ceiling and smelled like mildew.The TV wouldn't work and the fridge wasn't cold. When we checked out, we were told that we actually got the wrong room but wasn't offered any type of discount or refund. 🫤

The price was great and is close to everything
Pros:

The bed was comfortable. Motel was close to Fort Macon

Cons:

The room was extremely humid. Had to keep adjusting the dehumidifier. The bathroom door stuck terribly. It took a lot to close it, and to open it you had to slam into it.
