Business traveller

Check-in & staff was 100, shower was a 0.

Checking in was a breeze. We arrived before the allowed check in time, our room had already been cleaned, so the lady at the front desk let us go ahead and have access to the room. Our room & bathroom was clean. We had a towl or two that had some hair in them , but we ended up not needing them. The shower was aweful though, very little hot water and very little to no water pressure. Someone with really long hair would really have a hard time getting the shampoo & conditioner out. Also, I did not feel like I got all the soap off my skin either.

Pros- oceanview, convenient walking distance to restaurants, shops, Brits donuts, Tiki Bar on pier is part of hotel (pricey). Very friendly staff and tried to make stay the best they could. Cons- zero hot water most of our stay and very low water pressure. At one point there was literally no water coming out of hot water spiciet in sink. They said they had never heard about this before yet several reviews mention it (didnt see them before trip or would have booked elsewhere), sand on floor upon arrival (also mentioned in several reviews). I get it’s a beach hotel but rooms should NOT have sand filled floors when you walk in ESPECIALLY if the HILTON name is going to be attached to it!

Best comfort in a bad situation

Hotel staff was amazing, friendly and overall convenient when needed. It was easy to check in and out and the best part was being in front of the beach. Unfortunately a storm passed but didn’t ruin my experience at all and would come here again in the future. It was a safe space during an unexpected time. ;)

We came over the 4th for a couple days at the beach. The property is beautiful and the check in staff was friendly. The tiki bar and views of the ocean were beautiful. Unfortunately, the rest of our experience was just OK. The rooms were not cleaned or re-stocked each day. I think that maybe cleaning was available upon request, but for how much we paid for the rooms, I would have thought it would be standard, especially at a beach hotel with all the sand. We didn't see management staff around the property. The pool was pretty dirty with large chunks of hair that would stick to you in the pool. There were no re-stocked pool towels, which were one of the very few items they claimed to provide. People were smoking (cigarette and pot) across the property without any consequence. There was no continental breakfast and, for the price, I thought they'd have a little something available given that the restaurant/hotel don't provide room service. The restaurant was OK as well - food and drinks were incredibly expensive and staff seemed bothered that tourists were in their town and at their restaurant, which was the general sense we had not just at the hotel, but in Carolina Beach overall, from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. Given the cost of everything, there was a level of friendliness & service that was very much missing. With all the beautiful beaches in NC, we would not go back and would not recommend the hotel.

This was the worst day I have ever had at a hotel. To get Service I had to beg. We stayed for six days and never had hot water, it was completely out. And this is at the beach where you have sand all over your body and two extremely young children that I had to force into cold water showers. So much more went wrong, but not worth going into.
