Good hotel
We had a decent stay at this hotel. Check-in was fast and friendly. The room was moderately clean, but we did have a few small roaches appear, and that was unfortunate. They brought extra towels but didn’t bring additional coffee (not a huge deal because you had coffee 24/7 in the lobby). Overall, it was a decent place to stay while we visited the area.

Everything was great until they started hammering and drilling at 6:30AM. Not good - it was the only day I was able to sleep in and could not!

My only complaint is the a/c. When it kicks in it is freezing. But the second it shuts off the temp rises like 10 degrees. Would love it to be more consistent. But location to UNCW is perfect

Everything about the stay was fine. Beds were comfortable, parking was easy and safe, staff was friendly and helpful. For the price, though, I was expecting a better breakfast. While adequate, it was no better than any of the cheaper hotel chains, and not as good as many of them.
