Top South Harbor Island Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn University

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room great staff"

DoubleTree by Hilton Wilmington, NC

8/10 Good

"By appearances, it seems that the hotel was either recently built or recently renovated, which is nice. It was comfortable and nicely appointed. A few complaints: parking was $12 a night on an open lot, which I've rarely seen in a hotel in a location like this. That was annoying. Also, though I frequently saw housekeeping on my floor, the hallways had a lot of debris and very visible dust-bunnies/carpet-fiber bunnies everywhere. It just looked messy, dirty and unkept, and they obviously don't vaccum all that often. My room had a leftover coffee pod in the machine from the last guest, and crumbs of food on the floor and the chair. And ants. When I told the front desk about it and asked for the room to be vaccumed...it wasn't. I stayed in the hotel for three more nights and housekeeping never once entered my room."

Hampton Inn & Suites Carolina Beach Oceanfront

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was very nice and clean. The room was clean as well and the view was amazing! Breakfast at the hotel was very good with lots of variety including hot items. The staff kept things stocked and were helpful if anything was needed. The hotel was a bit pricey overall but I guess it's worth the price considering the location, cleanliness and amenities. A couple of the waitresses at the outside bar weren't as friendly and made some sarcastic comments to one of my family members. But the other staff members were very nice and helpful."

Trailborn Surf and Sound, Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy

8/10 Good

"Like the convenience to access the beach. Did not care for valet parking. Needs to increase frequency of cleaning, saw debris on the hallway carpet that lasted about a day, The towel collection bins were overflowing. Garbage bins overflowing. Pool bathrooms can use more frequent cleaning. Lack of sufficient number of water filling station and ice, should be in very floor. The bathroom sliding door was broken. The AC unit is extremely loud. The partition in the shower is two small lots of water spill outside the shower."
