For an older property the rooms were well cleaned and nice, could be a bit more soundproof. Very friendly atmosphere from the office staff and the other guests. Very short walk to the beach, pool was great and area was clean. It was really nice to be able to continue using the parking lot, pool, pier and bathroom they provide after checkout. Would definitely stay there again!

Ashleigh

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
This was a quaint little place at Oak Island for a few nights stay. It would have been nice to have had at least queen size beds in the room and maybe some more table space but it was nice for a hotel trying to keep up with the times. The pool area and beach access was wonderful. Check in was pretty easy but be sure to get there before the office closes and write down ir take a picture of your tag (it’s part of the check in process).

Pros: Great location, right next door to the Ocean Crest pier. Cold A/C and Hot water. Con’s, there were roaches in the room, mildew on the walls and mold in the bathroom. Staff was not accommodating and I would rate their hospitality skills at 2. Over priced for what it is. Beware The Beds are Super Extra Firm (Bricks).

Excellent location and staff were so accommodating and friendly. Older property but clean with good upkeep. Small bath room area with sink that was located more in the kitchenette area. Some type of shelf in that area for toiletries would have been great but we made it work. I would trade the space for the view any day. We will absolutely be back.

My boys and I really enjoyed our stay at Ocean Crest Motel! The lobby staff were very kind and helpful. The room was seriously spotless, I was extremely impressed with the cleanliness. It was cleaner than most air bnb’s we’ve stayed in. We had plenty of towels and blankets. The view from the motel is gorgeous and the beach access was awesome. The pool was also very clean and well taken care of. There is a really delicious restaurant located right next door and the property is just minutes from countless other dining choices. We had a great time and will definitely be back!
