Top Atlantic Beach Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Atlantic Beach Oceanfront

10/10 Excellent

"Sarah, staff member, I spoke with prior to booking, was VERY helpful and certainly went the extra mile to secure me a proper handicap accessible room. The chair lift for the pool was not working, which I discovered before I arrived. The manager did the right thing and had a new lift installed. The overall accessibility was done very well and much appreciated."

Atlantic Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This was a very good place to stay...we had a 2BR/2BA on the third floor which was great to be high where the breeze was cooler than below! Nice to have table outside if you wanted to sit out. Three TVs so accommodated us all nicely. Nice towels, soaps & lotions. An easy walk to the beach with access to outdoor showers. Multiple pools. A few minor things I'd wish were different: the elevator access and elevators were stifling hot. Small wall Acs are ancient and while on 24/7 did nothing to cool the space. Master bath had the light and vent on one switch and this can be disturbing at night or other times. NO bar in the shower! Ice took a long time to make and I'd advise someone turn it on BEFORE a check-in. VERY challenging coffeemaker! You are expected to clean-up before leaving including taking the trash out. And finally, we left behind some books and while there was a great app ("I Left My Stuff") to manage the return, the staff communications were muddled and contradictory."

Sand Dollar Motel

8/10 Good

"We stayed in a 3 bed, 2 room unit that also had a kitchenette. It met our needs for a one night stay. The beds were comfortable and the sheets felt nice. We didn't use the kitchenette. The shower was nice. It's an older motel and very close to the beach. There was no hair dryer. I didn't ask if they had one we could use so I don't know if that would have been an option. Be aware that if you book on Expedia you will be paying more than you agreed to on Expedia once you get there. Expedia said it would be $157 for the room but the hotel charged me $172. Not a huge difference but I've never had that happen when booking through Expedia before. The lady at the office said that Expedia charges tax and that they do too?? I'm just glad it was no more of a difference in price. The lady also told me she could charge me $10 per person over 2 people but she didn't. When I booked on Expedia I listed 4 people and the room has 3 queen beds so they shouldn't charge extra since it's listed as a roon for up to 6."
