It’s nice, but the kitchen staff were unpleasant and behaved very badly.
Pros:

It is very clean, pleasant, and close to the places I visited. The only downside was the breakfast service; the person in charge on one of the days—specifically the one wearing a nurse's uniform—was very unpleasant. It was only 9:00 AM, and although breakfast runs until 9:30 AM, she had already cleared everything away and acted very annoyed when I asked about it. I give the breakfast service a 0, but otherwise, it was delightful! No complaints at all.

Nothing special but was good enough to sleep at night for cheap.
Pros:

Good location - convenient to get to beaches but not be in the middle of a lot of congestion.

Cons:

Roaches seen in room and hallways. Bed not comfortable. TV didn’t work. Breakfast was barely edible. Sheets had yellow stains. Pool was very small.

Nice and quiet little place to stay.
Pros:

Clean, comfortable, and not crowded.

Cons:

The price I was charged. I’ve paid less for a nice oceanfront King suite. Also noticed that it said there was only one room like that left when I booked it only to see after I paid there were 2 of the same rooms available for half the price.

Good Solid Lodging
Pros:

On our way farther south, the Best Western Shallotte provided us with a nice large king room that even had a jacuzzi in it at a reasonable price for a Saturday in June though the price I reserved at 6 months ago had now doubled. Check in and out was a breeze and they had a nice little pool area also. The grounds were landscaped nicely with a lot of palms and conveniently located next to a visitors' center. The continental breakfast was good and the young guy monitoring it was very nice and keep everything full and clean. They had waffles, eggs, omelets, biscuits and gravy as well as muffins, pastries, cereal, juices, coffee etc. Would definitely return under the same circumstances.
