Great weekend getaway
Selected the hotel because of price. Location was good too. Great overall experience. The pillows were AMAZING. The view was not as great as expected, but was nice. Would most definitely stay there again.

Nice spot tucked away in Southport....everything was great for a quick getaway. Only thing that I would add would be curtains for the rooms, still a lot of light at night through the blinds, but this is a very minor thing. Look forward to coming back!

The hotel was very clean and organized. I liked the quaintness of the property as it isn't part of a large hotel chain. Check-in and out were easy and the staff was very courteous.

Stay by the River
This is a lovely little hotel, overlooking the Cape Fear River, nice well maintained rooms. Unfortunately, the beds are cheap and so soft they are very uncomfortable. The sheets, also cheap and hard, crackled when you turned over! The noise from the in-room refrigerator and air conditioning made sleep very difficult. Otherwise it would have been a very nice stay as the property is very convenient and well priced.

Perfect weekend getaway place!
Riverfront water view. Great location. Comfortable room. Friendly staff. Walking distance to Southport shoppes and restaurants. Hotel condos in great shape but the property could use a little TLC. Probably would be a factor for longer stays or warmer weather. Would stay again.

Love this Place
This is our second time staying here and we love it. Ladies at front check in our so friendly and accommodating. Condos are so clean and have all the needed conveniences with the very nice kitchens. Beds and pillows are the best...like sleeping on a cloud :)
