"It is older hotel with lots of character! We only stayed one night but bed was comfy. It was clean and quiet. Coffee close by. We had a coffee maker but no coffee or cups. Bathtub had great water pressure but only half when you turned it up to shower. There was a nice gameroom, porch, pool. A cool Blackbeard statue! Room was big but no elevator for those that require one."

10/10 Excellent
"We were able to extend our island visit for a few extra days, and this was a great place to do that for us and our pup. Bed was comfortable and the outdoor shower was perfect. Just a little more cooking equipment would be great - a decent frying pan and a pot large enough to make pasta - but we made good use of the outdoor park-style charcoal grill. Perfect for a couple and their four-legged friends!"
