Oh my gosh, this was a perfect place for us to experience the Carolina beaches! Staff was so accommodating & pleasant. The room was good size & the balcony was so nice to have with the ocean & beach view. A bit hot to sit out on it until the later afternoon hours. Loved the board walk right onto the beach, sand was soft, breeze was a blessing & having a beach umbrella & 2 beach chairs delivered, set up & picked up was wonderful. Rentabeachchair.com $40 for 9-5 use! Browsed the shops, coffee from nearby Crush & Grind, cold beverage @ the Silver Dollar & excellent smoked the fried chicken wings at Sunny Daze - Delilah was a delight!!

We really liked the convenience and the condition of the hotel. We also appreciated breakfast in the morning and the bar and pool on the deck. However, the mattresses were not comfortable. I also didn’t like the coffee in the bathroom and no microwave in the room. Also not specific to the hotel but we saw lots of cockroaches on the boardwalk. All that being said, we would stay again as long as it was only a day or 2.

Birthday getaway

Celebrated my son’s 18th birthday here. They were so kind from the minute we stepped on property. Room was clean, quiet& cool view of the canal. Being beachfront was a huge selling point for everyone in my family. There is nothing better than having breakfast with a view of the ocean welcoming you to the day.

The staff was very helpful and friendly. The tiki bar and firepit are nice touches and one night they had a singer who was really good. The hotel must be well built because you couldn't hear much once in your room. The only negative about my stay was the lack of good restaurants nearby. I did not have a good meal for the three days but that is no fault of Hampton Inn. The restaurants are just not good in this beach town. Its great if you love everything fried and full of salt. A great hotel though!

I have stayed in a lot of hotels, but this is by far the BEST experience I've had. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, my room was clean, comfortable, and well stocked, and the breakfast was really good. I was also pleased with the hotel's proximity to the beach and boardwalk so I didn't have to drive. This has now become my go-to hotel for all my beach trips.

I loved the location of the property. It's beachfront and literally right next to the boardwalk, so very convenient. The rooms were large, clean, and had nice amenities. The continental breakfast was good and I liked that it was available until 10am. The only issue I had was the AC in the room. After complaining that it wasn't working, someone came in and just adjusted it lower, which did not solve the problem, so we had to sleep in a hot room that night. The next day was more troubleshooting and finally we just got the whole unit replaced.
