Very nice hotel. Room had a nice view of boats going by. Not quite as close to all of the shops and restaurants. Had lovely music on Thursday evening.

I chose a river view deluxe studio king room. It had a view of the river over an abandoned junk yard. The balcony was so small that two people could not pass one another to even sit down. When you sat in the provided chairs, you could not see the river due to the railing. There was sand in the bathroom and if you need a firm mattress, this is not the place for you. I was expecting so much more for the price I paid.

This is a lovely place on the waterfront, with a small private beach. Comfortable bed, fully supplied kitchen, clean bathroom, outside balcony, easy check-in and check-out. Walkable to the main waterfront in Southport, and two minutes from the ferry. I only stayed one night but would have enjoyed more.

Selected the hotel because of price. Location was good too. Great overall experience. The pillows were AMAZING. The view was not as great as expected, but was nice. Would most definitely stay there again.

Nice spot tucked away in Southport....everything was great for a quick getaway. Only thing that I would add would be curtains for the rooms, still a lot of light at night through the blinds, but this is a very minor thing. Look forward to coming back!

Stay by the River
This is a lovely little hotel, overlooking the Cape Fear River, nice well maintained rooms. Unfortunately, the beds are cheap and so soft they are very uncomfortable. The sheets, also cheap and hard, crackled when you turned over! The noise from the in-room refrigerator and air conditioning made sleep very difficult. Otherwise it would have been a very nice stay as the property is very convenient and well priced.

Perfect weekend getaway place!
Riverfront water view. Great location. Comfortable room. Friendly staff. Walking distance to Southport shoppes and restaurants. Hotel condos in great shape but the property could use a little TLC. Probably would be a factor for longer stays or warmer weather. Would stay again.

This is our second time staying here and we love it. Ladies at front check in our so friendly and accommodating. Condos are so clean and have all the needed conveniences with the very nice kitchens. Beds and pillows are the best...like sleeping on a cloud :)

We were in a unit right next to a construction zone. It was off season and there were other rooms in other buildings that we could have been put in, that would have bee nIce and thoughtful. Instead we looked out on a heap of junk and had to deal with construction noise.
