Great location and beautiful view of the Cape Fear River from the room. Hotel had direct access to the boardwalk which was only a short 1/2 mile away to the Riverwalk. Also, the hotel was next to the ACL Railroad Museum which I visited. Only issue was parking was $15 per night. But the hotel is within walking distance of all downtown attractions so we just kept the car parked. Breakfast was good.

Overall our experience was great, but we did have a few complaints. When we arrived, we noticed the shower hadn’t been cleaned so we immediately ask the front desk staff if they could ask housekeeping to do that for us. No one ever showed up during our stay which was frustrating as an unclean shower isn’t ok. They also charged us extra fees that we weren’t expecting and the lady didn’t explain them before charging our card. Before leaving, they tried to charge those extra fees again, but they were quick to fix that as we told them we’d already been charged. Other than those things, we did enjoy our stay as it was very quite and we felt safe there.

The location is excellent—plenty to do and see nearby, which made getting around easy and enjoyable. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The property itself was okay but could use some updates. Unfortunately, cleanliness was a real issue, with noticeable lapses in both the room and common areas. Overall, not a terrible stay, but I wouldn’t rush back.

View of the water and the window was so fogged up I couldn’t even enjoy the view. There was only a very thin blanket on the bed. No additional blankets in the room. Had to pay additional $15 for parking (which they said they would email the receipt for and never did send it. I ended up itching all night and still have bug bites ALL over my body. Wouldn’t recommend staying here at all.

Everything was great. My only suggestion is that I can not sleep flat in a bed. I sleep in a recliner at home. This is a common practice for people with back injuries and breathing issues. It would be helpful to have recliners available if preferred. Thanks for a good night our water front room was awesome.

Very convenient for concerts!

It was conveniently located next to red hat amphitheater, which is where we were going. There were a couple of restaurants very close by. The parking garage was convenient. It was just a little mold on the ceiling next to the air conditioner vent, which we reported at checkout. It just appeared to be from condensation. Other than that, it was excellent! Breakfast was good too!
