We have stayed here at least once a year, sometimes more. It is convenient to Uber from to go downtown. Perfect distance to Wrightsville and Carolina Beaches. The property has been undergoing major renovations. It is much nicer than when we first began staying here; however, don't plan on sleeping in or napping in the afternoon because of the work being done on the building. The parts that are complete are beautiful and don't have that old smell anymore. And even though the one elevator always says it's on floor 6, it's not. The noise of the elevator just adds to the excitement of traveling. The evening staff are super friendly and nice. The morning staff seemed bothered to get off their phone to assist. The morning noise of other doors slamming shut in the hallway and the elevator dinging were annoying. You will hear everything happening in the hallway. The breakfast is decent, regular hotel finds like waffles, eggs, yogurt, cereal, and coffee, etc.
