"Decent hotel. Basic good breakfast. Good coffee. It kind of feels like motel 6 and Hilton had a baby but it was very clean and efficient with top notch customer service from the staff. My only complaint was a staff member smoking near the entrance. Some people don’t do well walking through that."

"This place was perfect when we went to drop off our kids to UNCW! It’s Just minutes down the road from there! The staff is actually super friendly! The rooms were clean… We did not use the pool but I like that it was open until 10 PM in festival. The continental breakfast was open until 10 AM!!! I don’t think I’ve ever stayed in a hotel that had breakfast till 10 AM especially on a weekday…so I really appreciated that!!"
