Union Mills

"It's impossible not to be completely blown away the moment you walk into this crazy place. It's even bigger, crazier, and more fun than we expected—and we expected A LOT of crazy. Just sitting inside drinking a coffee is ridiculously fun!And the views are hard to describe because you don't really look for a view here. You're in the view. It's everywhere, all around you, all the time.The waterpark was an absolute blast!We hope you'll let us come back! I consider myself an Airbnb snob when it...

Top North Carolina Hotel Reviews

Hilton Raleigh North Hills

10/10 Excellent

"Comfy beds, clean and well maintained rooms, staff was friendly. Good area."

Shutters on the Banks

8/10 Good

"Very clean comfortable hotel. Great beds, linens, climate control, shower. Breakfast typical. Cereal, powdered eggs, waffles. I was only there for one windy night but noted that the hotel was in a great location with access to the beach and close to several food and shopping options. Staff was very kind."

The Omni Grove Park Inn & Spa

8/10 Good

"The resort was beautiful. Big, grand feel. Beautiful mountain views from restaurants and rooms. Nicely landscaped. In a nice mountain neighborhood with old homes with character. Several restaurants. The breakfast buffet was the best I've had and well worth the $35. Every bite was delicious. The pool and hot tubs in the spa could only be used by spa guests and guests that paid $200 per day to use them. There was another outdoor pool, but it was so far away, I couldn't even see it from the hotel. The concierge suggested taking a shuttle to the pool. At these nightly prices, a pool and hot tub for all guests is expected. The guest room walls were paper thin in the Sammons annex. I could hear conversations next door and could even hear someone hiccuping, so you felt as though you couldn't talk about anything private (or do anything else) because your neighbor would hear every word."

John Yancey Oceanfront Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I really enjoyed my stay. The room was clean and comfortable. The bed was good. I liked that I could walk out of my room and be on the beach in a few minutes. The gazebo offered great views and the beach was lovely. Very convenient location. The staff were all extremely nice and helpful."

Shell Island Resort - All Oceanfront Suites

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved this place! The sunset on one side and the beach on the other was great. Watching the tide rise and fall on the Cape Fear reserves was a nice surprise. We hadn't been to this area since the early 90's so it was good to be back. Parking at the restaurants was a little tricky, but the Wrightsville area is definitely worth a visit. Our room was a privately owned condo and was nicely decorated, with a small library and games. There wasn't a lot of storage or closet space, but I'm sure every room is different."

Sheraton Raleigh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The first thing I noticed when I walked in was the beautiful fragrance. If they had that in a bottle I would have bought some! The staff was friendly and helpful. I was feeling a bit sick at my stomach from all the travel and they had some Tums for sale! Score! Comfortable bed, spotless room. I felt the price was reasonable, except for the parking garage across the street. Would stay again."
