The property was very nice and comfortable. The complimentary evening drinks and breakfast were a great bonus, and I was pleasantly surprised by how good the breakfast was. The pool was nice, although it looked a little bigger in the photos. The location was one of the best parts of the stay. The views were great, downtown was within walking distance, and it was easy to get to restaurants, shops, and attractions. Wrightsville Beach was also only a short drive away, which made it convenient to enjoy both the beach and downtown during the trip. My only criticism is that the property could have been cleaner, especially considering the price and overall appearance of the hotel. Even so, I had a very enjoyable stay and would consider staying here again.
