TLDR: cockroaches. This is the only pet friendly hotel in Shallotte ($15/night/pet) which is how we ended up here. We stayed last year for Christmas and were actually impressed with how clean & well maintained everything was, so without checking the reviews, we booked again this year. It is a mess. On check in our room (109) had dirty floors, a door without a functional deadbolt due to the door having a large gap between it & the frame, hair & skin flakes on the bed skirt which clearly wasnt changed, dark patches on the walls & ceilings which were water damage at best & mold at worst, and a pull out couch which was FILTHY. I lifted a couch cushion for a bed bug inspection (FYI we did not encounter any bed bugs) to find the couch has white mold inside it and my dog wouldnt go near it. That all was gross, but we've done alot of traveling staying in budget motels, it was manageable for 3 nights. We stayed anyway. Then our second morning I turned on the bathroom light and watched german cockroaches scurry. We packed up & left. I don't know what happened here over the course of a year, but clearly the owners no longer care at all & intend to just milk their patrons while letting the place rot into disrepair. The front desk guy was very nice though.
