''My husband and I took the kids down to the beach for the day and ended up staying the night. We rented a room at the oceaneer and after we walked in we walked right back out and got our money back. The ceiling was falling down in the bathroom, there were black mold spots on the tile and it smelled like a strong ''cover-up''. It was scarey to say the least. The service was great though, because they reimbursted us 100%....''

''The staff is friendly and helpful. The rates are great for the beach. The rooms are spatious, although some are a little dated. Easy walking distance to good restaurants and the beach. We parked our car at the beach with all are gear the night before and had a nice walk back to the hotel. The next day we walked back down to the beach and had everything there waiting for us!...''

''Pros: Very customer oriented staff, great location, family oriented
Cons: None

The sandpeddler has a great look and a great location all wrapped into one. The building and rooms are beautiful (not to mention the view)! It is very family oriented and peaceful. It is seconds away from the beach as well as great dining. They even provide off the street, private parking for each room. I would highly recommend a stay if you are going to be in the area. It is a true home away from home....''

''Excellent off season value. Rooms are clean with kitchenettes. Close to ocean. Walking distances to activities. Parking is limited to two cars per room. Owners friendly and helpful....''

''Have stayed here many times over the years, it is always clean and very comfortable, located on the beach! Two outdoor pools and large jucuzzi, walking distance to many moderate priced delicious restaurants!! The owners go out of their way to assist you day or night!!!...''

''The Comfort Inn in Wilmington was alright, the check in clerk was very nice. She was overworked and I had to wait about 10 minutes to actually check in. The room was on the first floor. The bed was comfortable though and the breakfast the next morning was very good. Overall my stay was ok....''

''Fantastic. Tastfully appointed with a significant antique collection. the Inn has many of its original features. Renovations have been done seemlessly not to affect the architectural design of the home. Very attentive staff. Fantastic Breakfast. A very warm welcome. A very beautiful home away from home. The suite is a huge value and can easily accomodate a family....''

''Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! Great location. Great oceanview from our private balcony AND dining table. Stayed on the second floor. Staff was very friendly. Room was extremely clean. When visiting Carolina Beach this will be ''our place at the beach''....''

''We stayed on one of the lower floors, and close to the elevator. The view of the surf is great even from the lower floors. The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen is tiny but certainly usable, the furniture well-kept. The front desk people were very friendly and helpful. On the downside: The ''balcony'' is actually a tiny little strip of concrete barely big enough for 2 chairs, and the outside furniture was filthy. Being close to where the pool was turned out to be a drawback, because they sta...''

''It is a very nice hotel for a very affordable price (we did get card discount). We have stayed here several times when visiting Wilmington, and really have no complaints at all for any of the times we spent at this hotel. I normally do not like hotels which are next to busy highways or roads, but with the inside rooms, I did not hear any noise for the street. Since I am a very light sleeper, this is a big plus for me. And, the contential breakfast was very adequate....''

''This KOA is one of the pricier ones of the system. They will not let you book for a holiday unless you stay a 4 day minimum. The campground is too close to a mayor hwy and there is a lot of traffic noise. Not a peaceful place....''
