The staff is nice, the room floors etc. were dirty, the linens were stained, the room smelled
Pros:

the staff was nice

Cons:

the room smelled like mildew and was dirty, they said they were all out of rooms and didn't have another one to offer me. They gave me air freshener machine to get the smell out of room and Clorox wipes to clean the room plus new sheets for the bed and clean towels use. Some of the towels still had stains on them. evening staff for check in said she was working alone so she gave me what I needed to change the linen on the beds and to sanitize the room.

My stay at Windstar Hotel, Carolina Beach was truly a wonderful experience.
Pros:

I absolutely loved staying at this hotel. The staff were super friendly and helpful especially Brenda the evening front desk worker. She had great advice and recommendations about the area. My room was excellent. If there was one negative it would be that the bed was way too soft but that's just a personal preference. I enjoyed their breakfast as well. The location of the hotel is just a 10-15 minute walk to anywhere I wanted to go including the beach. I personally give this hotel and their staff a 5 out of 5 ☆ rating!! I would definitely stay there again.

Cons:

The only thing I didn't really like was the shower head in my room. It look like it needed to be switched out for a new one. Other than that there really wasn't anything I didn't like about the hotel.

Quick trip, great stay
Pros:

My stay near Carolina Beach was absolutely wonderful! From the moment I checked in, the staff was welcoming, friendly, and attentive. The hotel was very clean, comfortable, and had such a relaxing atmosphere. The room was spotless, the beds were comfortable, and the location was perfect — close to the beach, restaurants, and local attractions.

What really stood out was the excellent customer service. Everyone went above and beyond to make sure my stay was enjoyable. I truly felt valued as a guest. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful getaway or a fun beach trip, I highly recommend this hotel. I will definitely be returning in the future!

Cons:

The only complaint was parking, but not the hotel's fault. The other guest were not being considerate to how they parked.

Good Place to Stay Mere Minutes from the Beach!
Pros:

The staff was so friendly and it felt like we'd known them forever. The room was nice. Next time I'd love to use the pool as it looked very inviting and we could see it from our room.

Cons:

I didn't care for the eggs during breakfast.
