We only stayed last minute for 1 night. I searched for pet friendly & searched everywhere on the site for fees associated with pets as well as how to notify them when we booked online that we had a n 8 pound dog... never found anything except pet friendly. We checked in late and checked out early. We left the room cleaner than we found it bc we had to clean up several dead roaches & the gaps in the doors let all kinds of bugs and mosquitoes in and made it hard to keep cool. We didnt complain bc it was fairy inexpensive hotel & we survived the night. The next morning a very rude lady called me and said one of the employees saw we had a dog leaving the room & was trying to collect an extra $100 for a pet fee! The whole room was only $150 for the night and my little Shia-poo is hypoallergenic, doesn't shed, & didn't make a mess at all. She said the pet fee was $30 but since we didn't "notify" them we had a pet, it was going to be $100! I said it was pet friendly and we didn't try to hide anything. She demanded i give her a credit card to pay the extra $100 & when i said i didn't agree to that, she said she was going to charge my credit card i used to pay for the room & threatened something else i couldn't understand before she hung up on me! I haven't heard from them since & still haven't seen the extra charge on my credit card but I will dispute it if it shows up. The lady that checked us in when we got therewas nice but the unclear policies and rudeness are unacceptable

We stayed here one night prior to going on a cruise. We felt safe, the area was convenient to dining, stores and most importantly the port. There were minor things with the room I would consider “unclean” but not enough to prevent me from staying. The only real negative was the huge gap underneath the door that was obviously allowing our “cool air” to escape making it slightly uncomfortable in the room…we solved this by placing a towel in the gap.

Staff was excellent. Rooms looked like they were recently improved and were very clean, but had difficulty keeping humidity in check. Very damp. Bedding was very heavy.

This was a wonderful place for a stay for a night. It was extremely noisy surrounding the hotel, but it was also the 4th of July so you can’t really control people setting off fireworks. The only thing I hadn’t been aware of prior to booking was there are no elevators, so I’d recommend trying to get a first floor room if one is available! Shower was kind of dated, but served its purpose, and everything was very clean!

If you are looking for a safe, clean, convenient place to stay, this property is for you. If you are looking for an all inclusive resort, look elsewhere. The excellent breakfast is a plus, as is convenient, free parking. This property met our needs perfectly. It was a place to return to after planned excursions which was safe, clean, and comfortable. It is an older property which has been updated. The Keurig and microwave were pluses. The refrigerator was not cold enough and not temperature adjustable. There was plenty of ice to be had which was conveniently located. There is a nearby Harris Teeter. This property was close enough for about 15 minute rides to the historic areas.

I've stayed here several times for the pool and breakfast. The rooms are fair, but there was trash left in mine this time and I noticed several small things around the property that needed attention. Worse than that, my room was somehow checked out to another guest after my child and I had already settled in. She walked in, and i thought I'd left the door unlatched by mistake and she'd wandered in. Nope! We compared cards from check in, and the same room number was written on both. When we went to the front desk, they said they had no record of me checking in which was why they were able to check my room out to someone else. They found the paper in some random place and apologized, but that could have been a bad situation.
