Inflexible
Massive flooding in the Carolinas ruined our recent trip, every place we booked was reasonable in understanding our predicament, except this one. Yes, by the letter of the law they had every right to hold us to our reservation and not refund us, but if this is the level of understanding they displayed then not only am I glad we didn't stay there but we won't consider them next time, and there will be a next time.

Nice location. Nice room. Mattress and pillows were comfortable. Breakfast was amazing. Fire alarm went off at 7:02 am for 10 mins. We all came outside and no one gave us any instructions. We waited and returned to our rooms. Also there were little bugs on the floor. Needless to say no luggage or bags were left on the floor. But then again, It's a beach hotel! Very nice.

Overall a really good stay, if you are on the first floor like we were it can be very noisy throughout the day with guests above stomping around or going to the ground floor to get ice. The only true downside was the noise as the room we were in was a conjoined room that was vacant until our second day, we could hear everything very clearly in the other room. All the staff and amenities were nice!

My room was on the first floor just steps away from the beach. The complimentary breakfast was good but seating was limited inside, there's still some nice outdoor seats nearby. I liked the recent renovations in my room especially the bathroom, but seems like some minor items weren't replaced (e.g shower bar and drain). My room also didn't have any wall pictures or decorations at all, which is odd given the great beachfront location. Overall I got good value and would consider returning if I get competitive rates again.
