First off, the staff here is lovely. They are attentive, knowledgeable, and pleasant. The rooms have a microwave and a fridge that actually keeps things cold (you know what I'm talking about) in each room. Downstairs, they sell microwave meals and snacks at a reasonable price. The sheets were extremely soft, the mattress didn't hurt my back, and there were various types of pillows. I found the perfect pillow to meet my preference. They had Neutrogena products! The thermostat worked perfectly!...

Stumbled across this place when the closing for our house was delayed an extra day. Ended up staying an extra night just because we loved it so much. The Visionary room was beautiful, well appointed, with an amazing bathroom. Beds are super comfortable with really soft sheets. Breakfast

This place is wonderful! The man checking me in was friendly and helpful. My room (all rooms?) has an ocean side balcony with chairs, which love. Topsail Island is not full of restaurants (there are a few), so a stop at the grocery store is a good idea. The room does have a microwave, fridge with freezer, and a coffee maker. There's plenty of room, at least for 1 or 2. The area is quiet and I feel very safe. The beach is gorgeous: lots of shallow water to wade in, clean, uncrowded (though, it...

The room was very clean, comfortable.
The breakfast was really good every morning. It was easy to get to and in a great location. The only thing I wasn’t crazy about was the bed was a little firm for my liking. Hallways were well lite. Very safe. Would definitely stay there again.

Hotel was absolutely beautiful, very clean. Central location to everything whether it is the beach, the stores, or downtown, you are less than 20 min to all. only thing i would say was one of the front desk staff women at night was not friendly at all upon arrival which was kind of disappointing but other than that, the rest of the staff was very pleasant. Would 10/10 recommend for anyone coming to Wilmington !

My first trip since my husband passed last year. Everyone was so friendly. I loved getting a text once I was in my room asking for any questions or concerns. Just had a few and they were answered immediately. I also loved the boards that listed local eateries even something for a sweet tooth, what else was available to do beside going to the beach. No microwave or closet in the room but that didn’t hinder me. I loved the 24/7 coffee bar in the lobby. And the set up in the lobby allowed guests to...
