8.6/10 Excellent! (195 reviews)

Temperature was comfortable as was the bed. Great lighting. I gave the pool a 5, but it was closed 10/31, and we were there in November. So happy to find a motel that offers a walk in shower. It’s easier for everyone. The room was easily accessible for my husband, who has mobility issues. There is a TV, but don’t expect to watch current networks unless you want to download your subscription information, which is automatically deleted at check out.

Stayed at Carolina Beach for two days and found it much more relaxing, but of course Wilmington had more places to visit.

Was going to add photos but after trying relentlessly for over an hour I kept getting a message unable to complete and got kicked back to the beginning of the survey so after countless times, I give up

Went to the boardwalk and ate at a restaurant. Sorry service, but good food. Rode a few rides, it was cute like a county fair. An odd note, though, our friends saw a man literally fall from the swings ride, and strangely there was no response from the ride operator. No call to paramedic either, the man simply got up, his head was bloody and walked away. Strange.
