We stayed here on the last night of a road trip through TN, SC, and NC. We were flying home from Wilmington, and wanted an affordable hotel close to the airport, as we had to leave at 3am for the flight. This hotel was clean and felt safe. They had a pool, which seemed to have a bit of an issue (it wasn’t all the way full), but we still were able to swim and they were refilling it as we were there. We had to leave too early for breakfast, but the breakfast room looked nice, and it was free. No restaurant on site, but it was super easy to Door Dash some dinner, and there were vending machines available for snacks. The bathroom was strange, with the toilet and shower in a separate room, but the sink out in the same room as the beds. This was unfortunate at night, as it was difficult to wash hands without waking up my travel partner. I would have preferred to have a fully contained bathroom that was separate from the sleeping space. It was easy to Uber to downtown to see the sites. Overall, I would stay here again if I needed a close to the airport, budget-friendly hotel.

Wrightsville Beach Family Trip 7/12-7/15

Decent hotel, not bad for the price, would go again. Location is 10/10, everything is nearby. Beach isnt too far from the hotel, (15-20 minutes). Pool was pretty clean and not bad. Staff 10/10. I realize they share the pool with Mainstay Suites right next to them. I did see some trash behind the microwave and fridge, but thats all, room was clean, bed was comfortable. Not bad, its pretty decent.
