Room was extremely clean and had all of the essentials from soap to coffee and tea. Thermostat worked beautifully to keep us comfortable. There was construction happening on the property so mornings were a little noisier than ideal. Lots of little restaurants nearby for meals. We'll be back!

Check in was easy and staff were very helpful. This is a hotel that is being renovated and I think will be at great when finished. We would love to come back when the tiki bar and grill are open(closed in January). Kids loved having their own space with the bunk bed room with their own tv. We walked to The Spot for dinner and drinks. Had gone to Jack Mackerels for lunch and explored the Fort Fisher museum. We would love to come back!
