Top Surf City Hotel Reviews

Loggerhead Inn & Suites

Loggerhead Inn & Suites

8/10 Good
"I liked that there was a washer/ dryer with laundry pods available to use. We enjoyed the pool/ pool toys and it wasn’t crowded. We enjoyed that there was just a short walk to the beach. I wish there was room service daily but there was no room service except if you stuck your dirty towels in a blue bag outside your room, they would bring fresh towels back in the blue bag. Also, the rooms are quite small for a family of 4 and there was no closet and not many areas to hang up wet swimsuits and towels. I did like that there were outdoor showers to rinse off."
