The location was great and the room was up to date and decorated well! The only downside due to it being close to everything was noise late and the people thumping around upstairs. We would definitely stay here again though!

My wife is a hotel and inn snob and I was a little apprehensive about her opinion once we arrived. First thing she said was nice job on picking this place. It is close to everything, especially to the beach.

Newly renovated and super nice!!! Great amenities, in walking distance of many restaurants and shops. Right on the boardwalk. Nice rocking chairs outside of the room. Highly enjoyed our trip and we were very pleased with the accommodations. Will stay again.

A little getaway
For the holiday weekend so close to the board walk and the beach, the price was unbeatable. The room itself was nice and cozy and checkin was fast simple and easy. Free parking with pass was included which was really helpful and walking distance to entertainment and food. The only this i did not care for was the shower. The water pressure was too light and the shower head didn't really allow you to apply soap before rinsing it away. I would suggest a detachable shower head instead.

Awesome place nothing but friendly people around here and great atmosphere. However there just isnt any office which gives off an unprotected or no help feeling. No one to really call if you wish to discuss an issue or anything. Just wish there was an office staff it is a hotel otherwise lovely expirence. Great area i do recommend to others just maybe not in busy seasons. Love the rooms decor and amenities will definitely consider staying again.

The room could have been bigger. The pool wasn’t opened like it said it was according to the date on the website said april1-oct31. Was told I would have a room on the bottom and ended up on the top. The I wrap stay was good.

Renovation but TINY bathrooms and LOUD AC unit
the place has some upgrades, but tiny tiny bathroom and shower. nice rocking chairs outside each room, direct access to the beach via a gate. The seawitch bar next door had great music, and wasn't too loud from the room. it shut the music down by 1030pm. super loud AC unit on the wall. The beds were comfortable but the stains on one of the sheets in our room. The pool needed cleaning, some guests left glass corona bottles.
We informed the staff via text we were checking a day early due to the conditions. They refused a partial refund when I texted about the AC unit and bed sheet stains. I mean its a quick stay just loud AC unit.

We live a small motel and have been bring our kids to CB for MANY years (they’re now grown)-the boardwalk inn was beautifully remodeled and so close to the boardwalk to the arcade and restaurants…and the beach! Having the dog run was perfect for a quick bathroom break for our pup and all the different sitting areas meant you could spread out…we lived sitting in our rocking chairs on the porch (we were in #6 so we were second floor at the end so no one was walking by so Milo could sit out there with us. They had the grand opening while we were there and there was food and drink and everyone was friendly and nice! Don’t pass this one up-it’s affordable and convenient to everything!

Beautiful Retro Beach Hotel.
Ive traveled extensively for work and play, so the franchise hotels get a little boring. I was in Carolina Beach NC, and this little place pops onto my screen. I liked the colors and the theme, so I booked it for a couple of nights. Pulling in and parking, I immediately felt like I was back in my childhood at one of those places that dotted the beach everywhere. Entering the room, I found a brand new renovation complete with higher end fixtures. The fridge and microwave were completely retro. The beds are quite comfortable and thebroom was clean. The location is perfect as it sits right on the Boardwalk. I was able to park and walk everywhere i wanted to go including work. This will not be the last time I stay there. The staff is equally as awesome. I checked in online and they sent me thebdoor code. Received good morning texts asking how my stay was, and giving tips on where to eat and things to do. Again thoroughly awesome. Do yourself a favor and check out this little gem.
