10/10 Excellent

"I would highly recommend this hotel as your next place to stay in Southport. The room was very clean and I am a "clean fanatic". The staff were all amazing. The breakfast area was exceptionally clean and the food was good, especially the waffles. Within walking distance was an excellent Italian restaurant. Also a brewery and Walgreens."

"Nice beach property with the beach right across the street and the Oak Island Pier only a 5 minute walk. Two beach restaurants within a 5 minute walk and many more within 1 or 2 miles. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay there again."
