Missiles and More Museum Tours

We would stay at the Hotel Alice again because of the location and affordability but would come prepared for the Hotel’s lack of service and amenities. Be aware that many of the studio rooms do not have a sitting area as pictured. Instead the sitting area is an additional bedroom with bunk beds. The desk clerk seemed surprised that a couple in their 70s was unhappy with the difference and didn’t seem to know which rooms had couches. There is also a $15 a day resort fee that covers the use of first come/first served beach wagons and bikes. A nice feature but something you may overlook when booking. We stayed for 3 nights. Our room was not cleaned, our towels were not replaced, our coffee was not replenished and most annoying, the room was not swept for sand! It’s the beach, no matter how careful you are, there will be sand. We asked for a broom to do it ourselves but the only thing that would really work would have been a vacuum. We spent three days brushing off sand before getting into bed to no avail. No housekeeping staff anywhere Our stay was off season (mid April) so no restaurant or bar. This is not stated on the listing. While cleanish, the tub caulking was missing and full of mildew. I’m guessing that is related to the lack of housekeeping staff. I have no idea if service improves during peak season but it looks like the price jumps considerably so know what you’re getting when you book your stay. The location is great. It’s right across the street from the beach.

The view was as depicted in the photos, and showed a small amount of the beach sand due to the dunes. But, that was expected for the first floor unit. The property only has two levels, so you need an upper level (2nd level) unit to see the water from the deck. Close enough to hear the waves crashing in though. Still had a beautiful sunrise with the dunes and skyline.

Very clean and spacious room. The top floor felt very private despite being in a shared inn. The breakfasts were fantastic! And you can't beat the location if your plans are around downtown Wilmington.
