Quick Overnight
We drove in for a quick business arrangement. We arrived at 4-5pm. Registration staff were very friendly and room was ready. Room was immaculate and comfortable. Lots of restuarants close by and a Walmart if you are staying longer. Would stay here again with no hesitation. Breakfast was good. Did not use any of the other amenities but pool and excercise room looked well maintained.

Wilmington getaway
Staff very frindly and helpful. Hotel super clean. Breakfast bar varied with lots of choices including homemade pancake machine. Saturday hotel was full, but staff in breakfast room still smiling and helpful. Will definitely return on next trip. Outside pool with umbrellas over tables, and plenty of loungers. Good access to downtown and also proximity to Wrightsville beach, Carolina Beach and Boardwalk and Kure Beach.

Thank you!
We arrived the night before Hurricane Irene. I cannot commend the management and staff enough for taking great care to make us feel safe and cared for. We were asked to provide emergency phone numbers. We were told the power might go out and what to do about it. Also, the staff continued to ask us if there was anything we needed. Thank you! Also--I'm very picky and this hotel was soooooo clean. I will definitely come back when I come back to Wrightsville Beach again.

Not great
The room was outdated, the bed was uncomfortable, and even though it was suppose to be non-smoking, the room was saturated with stale smoke. The hallways were loud with running and screaming children at all hours of the day and night.
