Definitely a hidden gem! Clean room, good breakfast and great location! Very walkable, located right on the Riverwalk. Plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance. I would definitely return to this property.
Property was in a great location easily accessible to downtown and the Live oak pavilion. Staff was were friendly and helpful. The breakfast food was very good. The property was maintained well and clean. Easy parking . Great trip
Hotel is located on the Capefear River. It is close to shops and restaurants. Parking spots are tight, I was worried my car would be dinged. (it wasn't). Breakfast area is small and breakfast is serviceable. Nothing great, you pay for location.
It’s not the Ritz Carlton but this little Best Western, right on the waterfront was perfect for my conference stay. The staff are some of the friendliest people I’ve ever met and so accommodating. The breakfast is a great bonus. My room was huge, well kept and clean. Would definitely stay again!

Liked: Staff & service
The staff was friendly. If it’s a busy weekend good luck finding parking, especially if you drive a truck. Also, there are nats. Everywhere. And it’s a known issue. When we mentioned it to the front desk we were told the bushes by the river cause it and they can’t do much about it. Really disappointing to be honest.
The motel was fine. It was for one night, but if I had to stay more nights I’d probably stay someplace a little more luxurious. It was simple. Staff was great. It was clean.
Great location on the Riverwalk and walking distance to outdoor music venue. Older brick hotel with nicely updated rooms. Good value including a lower nightly parking rate compared to other nearby hotels. Would stay there again when attending a concert.
