Most the staff was just so welcoming and kind. The rooms were pretty clean there are a few spots with some wear though. More so minor things. Like the carpet had some areas along the wall pushed up onto wall and wall had some areas where the wallpaper or whatever they use was pushing out a little. Really more minor things. They do have a nice ramp and steps access to the beach. Nice little bench area at top of it too for looking out or getting some pics. Their breakfast buffet is pretty decent too. Actually had pretty good variety. Overall I think it's a pretty good place to stay.

The hotel location is great, right next to the beach. The staff were very nice and accommodating. Breakfast was good, although some vegetables would have been nice to have (it was mostly eggs, pastries, cereals and dairy). The big problem was that some mornings there wasn't enough room to sit for all guests. The breakfast room is really small and unable to accommodate all guests. The indoor pool was nice, but it felt like it wasn't cleaned every day. The rinse-off area when coming from the beach, which is right under the pool, was not cleaned frequently. And it would be nice to have something in the rooms with no balcony to dry wet clothes or towels.

Stay was Great. Except for the 4 am wake up fire alarm and the room above had unleashed rug rats running and jump until 2 am. I know the fire alarm couldn't be help but acting like nothing happened sucked and for the hell kids we will always and forever book the highest floor.

Would like answers

When we arrived, we were an hour early for check in, but the staff checked us in. They were very friendly.what I did not understand or still do not understand, is why I was charged a separate 200 dollar fee on top of the remaining balance, that was never explained and Never received a receipt explaining the charges. The room air conditioner did not work the entire stay.

I think the free breakfast was not very good. I hated that we didn’t have a bathtub like properties state that the room had when I booked it. But overall it wasn’t a bad place to stay.

Expedia was the cause for our poor stay, I will never book through Expedia again, and am telling my retired peers how they "legally" scammed me. We were totally mislead on our room which overlooked no water, just the parking lot. I sure paid enough money to see the ocean, unfortunately we just drove back home today with an occasional look of the sound on NC 12. My wife an I tried to walk over the dune to see the ocean but neither of us were physically able to walk over the dune to see the ocean at this Holiday Inn.
