It's on the beach, spacious, and convenient. But there are tiny roaches, I think maybe because some guests keep their doors open for hours.

The room was very clean with operational laundry and ice facilities steps from the room. There was great water pressure (and an actual bathtub!), a tidy kitchenette, comfortable beds and an amazing view. Some of the other guests were loud and disruptive, but no complaints about the hotel itself. Located right on the beach, only a short distance from a shopping center (Harris Teeter) and multiple fast food and convenience stores. Our stay was delightful- couldn't be happier. Thank you!

Perfect for location. Right next to beach. Very loud and kinda sketchy ppl hang around. Maintenance ppl just opened room on two different occasion’s and so felt privacy violated but other than that it’s a basic hotel to sleep for the night. Not too bad for the price.
