The location was amazing!!! The view from the balcony was beautiful, especially the sunrise. The staff were very friendly & helpful. We had a room with a 2 burner stove, microwave & fridge. The only thing better would have been a bigger fridge so we didn’t have to shop as often.

Pros (+) Spacious rooms...definitely larger then some other rooms I've stayed in in the past. Had a nice view of the ocean from the 4th floor. Located towards the southern end of the beach which wasn't very crowded at the time we were there in late April.
Cons (-) The walls were a bit thin...we could hear the people in the room beside us pretty easily. Wasn't the most comfortable mattress I've ever slept on either but for a couple three days it'll do...but for $70 A night I'm not worrying too much about it....definitely worth the money

Pros (+) They absolutely had the BEST view of the ocean. The hotel was nice overall, but other than the shrinking number of parking spaces, I loved it. You won't have to drive very far, everything is literally in walking distance. Harris teeter, bars, clubs, five star restauraunts, your literally right on the strip.
Cons (-) Parking, not enough.

Pros (+) We stayed here about 39 years ago, and instead if being outdated, it was updated, modern and clean. Great location at the end of the beach where you can view long stretch of the shoreline and the inlet across the street. We received a room with a hot tub thst we were not expecting, and mini kitchen area allows for you to fix your own breakfast and snacks. Good price for the money and all rooms oce...
