Thank you!

We arrived the night before Hurricane Irene. I cannot commend the management and staff enough for taking great care to make us feel safe and cared for. We were asked to provide emergency phone numbers. We were told the power might go out and what to do about it. Also, the staff continued to ask us if there was anything we needed. Thank you! Also--I'm very picky and this hotel was soooooo clean. I will definitely come back when I come back to Wrightsville Beach again.

Family trip for college orientation

The hotel was very clean but the rooms were a little small. The staff was very friendly and the breakfast, OMG it was really amazing. I will definitely come back again just because the breakfast was amazing. The breakfast lady was so so sweet and friendly. Her and the food made me book another stay.

There is a Thai restaurant that is a staple in Wilmington that is fabulous. The name begins with an I, right off Market Street. Great recommendation by the hotel staff.
