Horrible property shocked that they are a Marriott owned hotel! They won’t tell you that they took one night on my credit card without telling me. I thought I had fraud on my credit card. Staff was rude and room smells.

What a lovely, stylish place to stay! The complimentary bikes were my absolute favorite. We were able to bike to get coffee and Trolly Stop during our stay (our must haves while at Wrightsville)! Having access to the sound as well as beach loungers by the ocean were a pleasant surprise. I highly recommend staying at Trailborn!
