The air conditioning could use updating as it is a little noisy but overall this is a great place to stay. It’s very convenient to the beach and pier as well as great food. There’s shops including beachwear, ice cream and restaurants in walking distance. I would stay again.

Excellent place to stay for visiting Emerald Isle. Beach is just a few minute away and there are a few good options for food. My only complain was that the beds weren't comfortable to sleep on. Other than that, this is an excellent spot.

When checking in the lady was so sweet and very knowledgeable of the area! If you want to fish or just go to the beach, it is a very short walk with a great restaurant on the fishing pier and bathrooms! The rooms and the bedding were clean and it had everything you could need or want! Definitely will be staying there again

This is a simple, no frills hotel in a great location. Rooms are updated and modern and very clean. We got way more than expected when we opened the doir and the staff are outstanding. Can't beat the location for anything you want to do and just a short walk to the beach. We will definitely be going back!
