Pros:

Location is Great! Right next to the boardwalk. In the heat of Carolina Beach.

Cons:

Staff is inattentive to concerns or issues. I reported a problem with the bed being off the frame and possibly broken....sagged in the center on one side almost to the floor. Reported this twice.... nothing was ever done about it. Someone was in the room at some point after the first report because when we came back from breakfast the sliding door to the balcony was left open a little and lights were turned on( door was locked and lights off when we left). So mention this again at checkout....acted like they didn't know. Also, our room was right by the laundry room....5-6 piles of linen in the floor and in carts stacked 5-6 feet high is not what anyone wants to walk past at night checking in...or the next day heading out. Finally got mostly cleared up after a couple days. Please don't let the Marriott name fool you....this was by no means a nice place to stay. The only positive I will give is the young lady that was working in the Bistro on Tuesday night was very friendly.

Great stay except for the extra charges
Pros:

The VIEW was spectacular!

Cons:

The hotel charges $40 up front for what you MIGHT charge to the room BEFORE you even get checked in! Then , they “release” the hostage money to your bank AFTER you check out! In our case, Visa Debit intercepted the hostage money for 5-7 business days to “ensure it isn’t fraudulent”! This should have been disclosed prior to checking in! What if that was our gas money to get home? Ridiculous! The hotel should charge the credit card if there are any additional charges made - like every other hotel chain.

It was heavenly!!
Pros:

First of all. I have to say Alley , Alley, Alley. !! The front desk attendant along with Paige. OmG. We were there for our 1 year marriage anniversary. We were bout to cancel and air bnb because we were unaware that the indoor pool was being renovated, Alley and Paige were so dang nice, professional, and accommodating, we went ahead and stayed !! These two ladies knew all of the new best food places, the things to do even though it was out of season, and they personally re booked us in unit that had a spectacular view , and was very very fitting for the occasion!! I came down later that evening to get a night cap from the bar., The bartender was a little busy. Alley came from the desk, behind the bar , put her bartender hat on , and fixed me the best diabetic friendly cocktail I've had in a long time!!! The maintenance guys were even nice! This place is incredible.Upon leaving, we had the joy of running into Tom! Tom is a dear old acquaintance from the area , we were regulars before my surgery. He actually remembered us , stopped, took the time to chat, and make sure ours stay was excellent! Overall. I can't imagine us staying anywhere else in the Carolina beach area! Location, customer service, property pristine, and they go through great lengths to make sure every expectation is met. The Pulleys will be back several times this year. Can't wait to see you guys again!!!!

Ok
Pros:

The manager was very pleasant and tried to still make me happy after I wasn’t happy because the pool was closed after I emailed them about the pool being open in the inside

Cons:

I like that they tried to steal accommodate me because really the only reason I got that room was to use the pool. I’m on vacation for a week and my biggest dream right now was getting in the pool somewhere and that’s why I chose that hotel because the pool was open and it wasn’t when I got there

Pros:

View was good.

Cons:

They had a seminar or something and there were no parking spaces for the customers that actually paid to have a room. Parking is not big enough anyway. Parking spots are too small. The queen rooms need a table for at least 2 to sit at to have a place to eat take out. There should be a free continental breakfast. Staff didn't care that there was no parking for the customers that paid to have a room there. Construction is STILL going on for years now.
