What a lovely, stylish place to stay! The complimentary bikes were my absolute favorite. We were able to bike to get coffee and Trolly Stop during our stay (our must haves while at Wrightsville)! Having access to the sound as well as beach loungers by the ocean were a pleasant surprise. I highly recommend staying at Trailborn!

We understand the hotel is being renovated but the doors to the hallway stairs need regular washing and/or paint. The amount of fingerprints on those doors and with one elevator being broken down it caused us to use the stairs which offset many of the improvements you have done with the hotel. Also our room, 221 did not have the view that was portrayed when we booked our room and it was a bit false advertising. Also the rabbits on the grounds are cute but i would certainly not walk barefoot or use the grassy areas due the rabbit poop.

We loved our impromptu stay at Trailborn Surf & Sound. The hotel was recently renovated and is beautiful. The hotel offers many amenities like the greens with outdoor games, the beach (along with umbrellas, towels, and Lounge chairs) and even boogie boards and games for the kids. There is a pool bar and onsite restaurant. Coffee is tasty as well! We wish the pool was heated and the staff cleaned our room earlier in the day. Aside from this, we were very happy! We would definitely stay here again!
