Not bad for a night or two.
Decent place for a one night stay while in town for a concert or event. Nothing too fancy but the price was reasonable and it suited our needs well.

Nice for UNCW stays
Nice breakfast set up. Front desk people are nice and accommodating. Beds are comfortable and thermostat works well. Walls are not paper thin, so you don't hear your neighbors.
