Check-in. Check-out went smoothly. Restaurant has good food but slow service - seems understaffed. Can’t beat the beach access!

Overall, we had a nice time. The staff is excellent, very friendly & helpful. We enjoyed the room service, especially with breakfast. The rooms are in need of some serious updating (which I read they were planning on doing). We could not even close the bathroom door. Also, the pool and area around pool in general needs update/repairs. We would definitely revisit after reno done.

This was the second time my family and I have stayed at this hotel and it was our last. We were awaken to a fire alarm going off around 11:30pm, after going down 7 flights of stairs with other families to find the doors to the lobby were shut and locked and we were forced to go out of a side exit to find other families standing outside unsure if there was a true emergency or false alarm with no staff members in sight. A few moments later a gentleman employed by the hotel came out joking and laughing about how we were all awake now and that someone must have pushed a fire exit and they had to wait for the fire department to come and disable the alarm. My family nor did the families with small children who were scared found this to be funny or amusing in fact it was eye opening to the fact that this hotel is not a safe place for your family to stay because there were no employees around to ease anyone’s fear and had there truly been an emergency it was clear they had no idea how to evacuate this property and ensure their guests safety. This same fire alarm went off 3 additional times after this incident so there was no chance of a restful nights sleep and no mention of the facility doing anything to compensate those who were inconvenienced by this after paying almost $400 a night for their stays. There were towels laying all over the hotel to soak up water leaking inside the building from the rain. Do yourself a favor and stay elsewhere on the beach

Great housekeeping service, pool was clean, live music by the pool in the afternoon, rich history with the hotel, good food in walking distance. My wife grew up coming to Wrightsville with her family. That was almost 50 years ago. Places like the Blockade Runner, Trolley Stop and Neptune’s helped me learn more about Wrightsville’s history.

This property has been in business since the 1960s, and while it's been somewhat updated, the rooms could be improved. The decor is worn out and dated. The mattresses are not comfortable. The hallways are noisy and echo loudly, disturbing those who are trying to rest. My bathroom was small, and the shower didn't work properly. While I only had two nights in the hotel, it was enough to make me happy I was changing locations. However, you cannot beat the location, as every room has a waterfront view. The staff is amazing and very helpful. Beach towels are available by request at the front desk or by the pool. It's not a bad choice for the money, but they should look into updating the rooms and doing something about the noise level in the hallways.
