Review Guidelines
Basic Review Guidelines:

Your review should focus on specific aspects of the business you are reviewing. Do not simply state you liked or disliked the business - be specific.

The best reviews include not only whether you liked or disliked a business' products or service, but also why.

DO NOT TYPE IN ALL CAPS!

Do not mention competing company names in your reviews. Focus on the company you are reviewing, and if you wish, leave a review about the other companies on their directory listings.

Do not comment on other reviews - respect their position and write your own, but do not argue with others.

Do not use profanity or post spiteful remarks.

Do not write a review that is less than 50 words in length. The goal of a review is to share your experiences with a particular company - very short reviews do not accomplish this.

Do not post phone numbers, email addresses or URLs.

Do not post inflammatory reviews - stop and put yourself in the shoes of the owner of the business you are posting about.

Do not post many reviews about one business. Doing this will cause all of your reviews to be deleted.

Remember, you are responsible for your words.

Great Stay
By a Guest Reviewer
My family and I recently vacationed at Wrightsville Beach and stayed at the Blockade Runner Beach Resort. We stayed in an oceanfront room with a spectacular view. The weather has been delightful and we were able to enjoy sushi in the lobby lounge and feel the breeze from the picture windows that they always kept open. The staff was great which really provided for a wonderful stay at the beach.

Right on the beach
By a Guest Reviewer
The best thing about the Blockade Runner is that it is one of a very few hotels with an oceanfront view in Wrightsville Beach.Because there aren't many hotels on the beach, it is a little pricey for what you get, however.

The facilities are nice and spacious, but the whole place could use some upgrading. The rooms are clean, but they look like they haven't been updated in a while. The pool is good, but the gym facility is ancient and needs to be updated. The beach is wide and uncrowded. There is very little parking too.

If you want to go into downtown Wilmington, it's not too far of a drive and it's a fairly straight shot so you shouldn't get lost. Be sure and check out the Oceanic Restaurant just down the road and skip Wings in favor of Sweetwater Surf Shop. The folks there are incredibly helpful and friendly.

Wrightsville Beach is a great, relaxing getaway and the folks are really laid back and friendly. You could do worse than staying at the Blockade Runner.

It stinks....literally
By a Guest Reviewer
The hotel is a bit old but I can live with that. Cleanliness is average, and the location is great. BUT...I'm sitting in my room wondering if I'm going to have a headache all night becuase the room smells so MUSTY and MILDEW that I can't stand it. I'm ready to forfeit the money I paid and pack up my things and find another hotel. I will NEVER COME HERE AGAIN! Not worth the money, especially when you consider the medical bills to try and flush your system of the mold spores!!!!

Always a Classic
By a Guest Reviewer
Love the view from the room and the lack of commercialization of the beach. This is a very historical Hotel that has been upgraded recently. Bathroom upgrades in the balcony rooms was very nice with tile walls and tile floor and a window that you can see the beach from.

Winter Vacation
By a Guest Reviewer
I stayed for a weekend winter vacation and so the indoor/outdoor pool was a must. It was just the thing our two year old. We were lucky to get summer weather in December and so enjoyed not only the ocean view, but the ocean. Wimington had plenty to do, even in December, but that ocean view, sandy walks, gentil breezes and kite flying kept us at the hotel and beach most of the time. The staff were very attentive to our needs. It was a perfect two day vacation.

HUGE WASTE OF MONEY
By a Guest Reviewer
was kept waiting for 45 minutes for room to be cleaned, then given wrong room,I had paid for oceanview with balcony but was put in room with no balcony, FINALLY resolved after even more waiting and no apology, phone in room did not work, bath tub enamel was coming off, hair dryer did not work, was told to leave main lobby on Friday night while I was trying to catch up on work so they could have a reception, could that not have been in a private room so the rest of us could use the lobby? I will never pay almost $500 for 2 nights of such substandard housing again and will tell all my business partners and friends of the horrible experience I had. I gave management a chance to make ammends and was told they would do nothing. PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ; HOLIDAY INN SUNSPREE IS A MUCH BETTER DEAL JUST DOWN THE BEACH!

Low Quality Room
By a Guest Reviewer
I paid far too much for a room which was no better than some low budget hotels I've stayed in. The lobby and pool areas were very nice. Gardens were beautiful. But I'd rather have had a room with a bathroom I could towel off in and not hit every wall, a tub with unstained grout that drained well, clean floors and a kitchenette. Definitely not resort quality.
