Downtown Hotels, Carolina Beach

"The lock on our room door didn’t actually lock. Had to change rooms because they didn’t understand the issue. Check your door!"

"Great location. Easy access/check in via text code. Good price. Nothing fancy but modern, clean, and well maintained."

"The hotel was clean, room was quite comfortable. A continental breakfast was included but the food did not taste good at all. I don't think they used real eggs - they tasted fake (watery) and tasteless. The coffee was also awful. They did have fresh apples, muffins, OJ, instant oatmeal and DIY waffles. Convenient location and parking was good unless you were arriving late at night, which, in that case, be prepared to park in another property's lot and walk a distance to the hotel entrance. There are plenty of restaurants and coffee shops in driving distance of this hotel. All in all, a decent stay."

"The customer service was phenomenal and the staff was very accommodating and flexible. I called last minute to ask about checking in early, and they were happy to make it work for us, which I really appreciated. Parking was also convenient and easy. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of the room was disappointing. It didn’t seem like the sink or floors had been properly cleaned, and while the bed was okay, the overall room just did not feel clean. There were also multiple bugs on the ceiling and walls, including three spiders in the bathroom. The customer service was great, but the condition of the room made the stay not ideal"

"The location was excellent and the beach was beautiful. The restaurant food quality for breakfast was incredibly poor. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was clean except the coach had stains all over it. To be able to just wake up and view the sunrise from your balcony was 10 stars."

"Excellent location!! The property is a bit dated, but overall a good stay. "

"Great property"

"It was our first ever stay in a Spark hotel. Nice and roomy. Floor was dirty ( no carpet in room) Receptionist- Ash"

"I love staying here. The staff is always personable and I love the direct access to the beach and view. Hopefully next time they will have the additional elevator fixed because sometimes they wait for the elevator is a little long but they do have stairs available. The tropical is such a good restaurant. I will be back soon. This is the only place that I enjoy staying."
