Top Carolina Beach Hotel Reviews

Golden Sands Carolina Beach Oceanfront, Tapestry by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel on the beach. Clean and updated rooms."

Hampton Inn & Suites Carolina Beach Oceanfront

2/10 Terrible

"I was extremely disappointed with my stay at this beachfront hotel. While the location was beautiful, the condition of the room completely ruined the experience. The room had a strong musty odor from the moment we walked in, making it feel damp and unclean. To make matters worse, we found roaches in the room, which is absolutely unacceptable for any hotel, especially one charging premium beach rates. The shower was another major issue. The water pressure was so low that taking a shower was frustrating and took much longer than it should have. The beach location is the only reason I'm giving any stars at all. Management needs to address the cleanliness, pest control, and maintenance issues immediately. I would not stay here again and cannot recommend this hotel to others."

Carolina Beach Motel

8/10 Good

"Mostly great stay. We arrived very late after 2am and the door code provided did not work. This caused some anxiety but they had someone on call to reset the code within a few minutes. There was no ceiling fan and where the AC was positioned in the room made it pretty stuffy in there.. otherwise clean and comfortable I would stay again for sure."

Courtyard Carolina Beach Oceanfront

6/10 Okay

"There are teens that come off the boardwalk and use the pools- inside and outside. The lack of supervision means they get out of hand behaviorally. There were two teens actually engaging in sexual activity in the inside pool one night. We informed staff and it took over 30 minutes for anyone to come. The kids left and came right back wit no additional checks happening. We are bonvoy members and requested late check out. They said to ask morning of. Morning of (6am), they said they couldn’t do anymore - so they obviously excepted other later check outs before morning of. The elevator was a HASSLE. One was broken and had been for months and the other elevator was a 10+ minute wait. At 9 months pregnant I didn’t love hiking stairs up and down to our 5th floor room. The hotel has great beach access and rooms are clean. But I wouldn’t be booking this as a main summer vacation - fine for a long weekend, if the elevator and lack of child supervision (from boardwalk) wouldn’t bother you."
