I’m from the area, I was married on the beach of Emerald Isle and come back to visit family often. We usually stay at the Islander but sadly they were booked. At check in we were met with “rules”. Just rules. Very unwelcoming. Tiny hotel, tiny pool, slow elevator, ice machine on the bottom floor only, no soap for hand washing, stains on the wall, and thin walls where we heard the tv and noise from the adjacent room all night to the point of no sleep. At check out there was nothing said from 3 hotel employees as I turned in our threatened parking pass as they said during check in “yes, we will charge you $25 for a piece of plastic if you don’t return it”.
Don’t come here. It’s over priced, unwelcoming and not of the family values or Southern standards of other beautiful Emerald Isle stays that offer clean rooms, kindness, a good night’s rest, fun and life long memories.
