Our room was mostly clean. We loved the retro furniture, the pink chairs were particularly lovely. The property is in a great position to access the beach.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The shower is really terrible, they’ve painted over tiles so therefore the paint is peeling off and just laying in chunks on the shower floor. Water pressure was okay. There are extension cords everywhere, things are just daisy chained together, luckily it’s a concrete building. No microwave in the room or exhaust fan in the bathroom so it feels like a sauna in there.

We enjoyed the hotel, but we stayed 4 days and housekeeping never once came to take out trash, sweep or change the towels, thank goodness I usually take backup, but this is the first time I've actually had to use them, that's just gross. they have a thing on door that says daily light housekeeping, they never once came into our room.

Property is an easy walk to Carolina Beach and food and coffee options. We were only there a day, but I really liked how we could park the car and walk to most anything we needed. We even drove down to Ft Fisher for a quick trip! Our stay was at the end of August, so crowds were light.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
A lovely property with clean, well-designed rooms - the mid-century modern style is gorgeous. And the location can't be beat at Carolina Beach, only a block from the carnival rides and the boardwalk. A bonus feature that I didn't know I'd like but which I did: the rooms are extremely quiet, and even on a rowdy August at the beach Saturday night, the deliciously arctic air-conditioning and sound-proofing let me sleep with hardly any interruption. Can't wait to visit again.

Staff were very nice. Hotel is in a great location to walk to many restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and to the beach/boardwalk. Room is small, but very comfortable. Only complaint was that the ceiling fan was very dusty and the top of the window needed to be dusted. I would definitely stay here again though.
