The pool and gazebo areas were frequently mentioned as standout amenities, especially for families. Staff were generally described as friendly, helpful, and quick to resolve minor issues, though there were isolated complaints about unresponsiveness.

Wonderful
Anonymous, Oct 2017
Pros (+) The staff were very friendly and helpful. My family got stranded due to car trouble, and they managed to find us a room quickly with a 10% discount. The free breakfast was very nice. Right next to the beach. Excellent location. Very close to Jockey's Ridge and the Wright Brothers Memorial. Would definitely stay here again.
