Visiting our son @ UNCW. This was the perfect location! Beside Walmart, 5 minutes from our Son's college apartment, only a few minutes from downtown. Very friendly staff & clean! Highly recommend!

Location and staff are very pleasant; however, the beds are way too high. We had to modify our room to be able to get into bed. Be aware the front desk has no solution to this issue. My 79 year old mom had so much trouble getting in. I had to roll into bed. This bed is much too tall for anyone that is 5 foot or less.

Yall literally have bed bugs in your hotel rooms. After just walking into my room the first thing i did was check my bed for anything unusual and was shocked to have found bed bugs. Also when trying to reach out to the manager and explain the situation. They acted like it wasn’t s bug deal and told me that they would call me back on the matter, never got a called back. I had to repeatedly call and ask for the manager at least 4 different times im extremely disappointed and disgusted with the cleanliness and customer service yall “supposedly” offer
