Hotels near Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge

"First room was decent. Second room was awful. Smelled, fan didn’t work in the bathroom, there was sand all over the floor as if the room which I’m certain wasn’t cleaned well. I needed up sleeping ontop of the made bed and used my own blanket. You only have a view of the beach from the 3rd floor. Otherwise you look at nothing but a massive sand dune right out front. Very misleading! I actually wished I would have continued my stay at the Swell Motel. They had kayaks and hikes free to rent for the day and so much more!"

"This was a really nice motel. The beach was accessible via a pathway. The pool was clean and fun for the kids. The rooms were large and the beds were comfortable. The breakfast was great, as well. We really enjoyed the one night we needed to stay."

"Even though it is an older hotel, the warmth and welcome by the staff makes it a better place for us to stay. We had a clean, inviting room, close to the beach, and fully equipped with a kitchen. Everything we needed."

"Excellent healthy choices for breakfast; great location being close to other businesses and restaurants"

"The room was clean however be ready to go past a lot of shady characters that are smoking cigarettes and weed on the sidewalks and in their cars. The property needs more lighting for this situation. If the get the trash people to leave it would be a nice place."

"Not ocean front. The room was clean. No one came to clean the room daily. Had to tell them the trash needed emptied. Had to walk across the road and then down sand covered steps to get to ocean. The outside if the motel needs.a facelift."

"Daily housekeeping did not happen. Had to set garbage outside to be taken away and had to ask for towels daily"

"Had an absolute wonderful stay very clean, and staff was so polite. "

"The AC didn’t work and when I told them, they said they would send maintenance up. Later on that afternoon, I come back to the hotel and the room is still 80°. I let them know again that the room is hot and asked if maintenance came up. They said they would send maintenance again. They proceed to tell me that they put new coolant and that it takes time to run through the system. Never offered to change rooms or to give me a fan. Nothing. The very next morning we wake up and it’s still over 80° in the room and this was the day we were checking out and they tell me oh sorry we know it’s not working we have an AC company coming and asked me if I would like a fan. So they knew the system was broken when I complained and never offered to move me. It was a miserable stay! The room was dingy looking. Stains on the carpet and chair. I will not return in the future. "
