Horrible
traveling for leisure

I made reservations for wedding 2-3 weeks out. When I made the reservation, I was given the rate and was told a confirmation would be sent to me. Since there were supposed to be "special" rates for this wedding, I questioned the operator since the rate she gave me was the same as the website (199.00). Nope she told me, this was the rate.

I got no confirmation and called back today, 3 days before the wedding to check on my reservation. Chris confirmed my reservation and when I asked about the rate, he said since I didn't book a month or more ahead of time, the "special" rate didn't apply to me...what crap.. I have never even been to this resort, but already I have a poor opinion of its customer service. The bride is a close friend and I would never bring this up during this great time, but if you plan on staying at this place, make sure you understand that whatever pricing they give you is probably a limited time offer.

Good
45 year old with a luxury budget, traveling for leisure

Hotel has been remodeled and is good. Not Blockade Runner. Beach is better. Rooms are good, but you need to know which ones to ask for. Each unit is privetly owned. We like unit 612. There are several others, unfortuntely, I don't have the num

Beach was great. The room was not!! – Posted Sep 21, 2008
   
         
Mediocre

The room was not very good. The hideabed was over 20 years old and the spring mattress was terrible. My kids had to sleep on the floor. There was no marsh view from our room. Just the parking garage. Horns honking from 6 AM on. Unable to sleep in....

Stay Away!!! – Posted Aug 16, 2008
   
         
Horrible

This place was the most disgusting "hotel" I have ever stayed in. The rooms were sticky - the furniture, carpet, bed- all seemed to be covered in mysterious stains and a sticky glaze. The towels in the bathroom had what I can only hope were...

Not Worth the Price – Posted Apr 23, 2008
   
         
Mediocre

The service was great, BUT, for $400+ for two nights, the room didn't really warrant that. It was pretty much your basic quality room, not the "luxury" they describe online, just bigger.

The bathroom door didn't lock,...

Nice location, but the service was horrible! The staff were inconsiderate and unwilling to help.

I am going there every year!!! – Posted Mar 05, 2008
 
         
Excellent

I suprised my boyfriend with a trip to Wrightsville Beach. We were scheduled to stay at another hotel but they gave our room away. So we ended up driving around for a few minutes before finding this hotel. It attracted us because it was at the end...

A little disappointing – Posted Mar 02, 2008
   
         
Mediocre

When I called to make the reservation I asked if the hotel had Wi-Fi and was assured they did. When I arrived I found that there was no Wi-Fi in the room so I went to the desk. I was told that there was Wi-Fi in the lobby. Guess what, not there...

Okay
62 year old female with a luxury budget, traveling for leisure

It was very nice, however, and the construction was annoying. We were not warned of this ahead of time.

I am somewhat likely to return to the Shell Island Oceanfront Suites Hotel.
I might recommend it to friends.
