Top South End Hotel Reviews

The Sand Dunes

10/10 Excellent

"Love the balcony with ocean view. Room was very clean. Property was full of guests but it was very quiet and relaxing."

Admiral's Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"It is an older property, but it’s well cared for and quiet. The staff is friendly and everything is done through real humans. I was able to do an early check in and the view was amazing. The kitchen was just right for handling our cooking needs so we didn’t have to spend our vacation looking for places to eat if we didn’t want to."

Comfort Inn University

8/10 Good

"The woman at the front desk was awesome. You can tell she really cares about the guest experience. The room was lovely. The breakfast was as expected if not a little better than some that are similar. The elevator is a bit sketchy. It works fine, but needs and update and it makes some strange sounds. All said, for the price, I'd stay again."

Hampton Inn & Suites Carolina Beach Oceanfront

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast buffet was better than Hampton Inn, Myrtle Beach, comfortable pillows. And on a rainy day, they offered menu items for purchase so you didn’t have to go out in the torrential downpour. The tiki bar was very nice."
