My family (four of us including a 5-year-old) picked this place over Labor Day weekend, mainly because they were the only place not charging an outrageous price for rooms! The rooms themselves were neat and well-kept, with a mini-fridge, microwave, coffeemaker, great counter/cabinet space, and a large sink (besides the bathroom sink). The particular room we stayed in (237) had a a twin daybed with a pullout trundle (which my 5 y.o. LOVED!); the two steps down into the "lower level" led to a very comfortable king-size bed, which then led to a balcony with sliding glass doors. Bathroom was clean, carpet was clean, decor was "beachy" - we had absoulutely no complaints! The pool is small but clean and nice if you want to get out of the salt water for a while. We were especially surprised to find such a great room as a walk-in on Labor Day weekend. Most staff were friendly, and helpful about giving directions.

This hotel is on the sound side (which means a perky fishy smell on the backside, but you get used to it...) and is SO close to the Atlantic Beach boardwalk (walking distance); they do not serve cont. breakfast but McDonalds, Food Lion, Dollar Tree and a great pizza & chinese place are within 1/4 mile. It's also about 2-3 miles from the newly renovated amazing NC Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores.

Note to disabled travelers: there is no elevator so ask for a 1st floor room unless you want to schlep your stuff up the stairs!

Overall this is a great, clean modest place to spend a weekend away without spending too much $$ and we will be staying there again!

It was better than expected. The staff was great. The room was clean & comfortable. VERY family friendly. We have stayed several places at Atlantic Beach, but now we have found our home away from home. Hope you enjoy it too!!

My husband and I checked into this hotel for a family "get-a-way"
weekend. The bathroom was filthy-I found a dirty washcloth hanging in the shower and the bottom of the tub was so filthy we would not allow our toddler to bathe in it. Our room with a "view of the sound" overlooked trash that had been strewn about. We obviously did not stay. I will say the staff was very courteous and refunded all of our money. It is too bad the cleanliness was so poor-they were nice sized rooms.

We have stayed there twice now because we like the Atlantic Beach area, but I would caution everyone to check their room BEFORE checking in because the quality even from room to room varies enormously, like there is no regular ongoing maintenance/cleaning program. If you don't smoke and want to stay on the west side, you are out of luck, that's where they stick all the smokers ... and forget the complimentary breakfast unless you really, really like unruly mob scenes with dozens of children fighting for the few edibles. The first time was better than the second time, even though it was more crowded. I just can't see going back there again, there are much nicer places for a lot less money that are just as close to the beach.
