Please note, this review is for The Cottage at the Blockade Runner. It is a LARGE house owned by the Hotel. My sales team is comprised of 13 people(nine women and four men). We wanted to have a unique team experience for our sales meeting, so we rented The Cottage for the week. First and foremost the Staff at the... More

We stayed here in March for our wedding weekend. We are local residents who had a very small wedding (40 guests) and booked a block of rooms for our family and friends here. The staff was pleasant and amazing to work with and our guest loved their rooms. There is a nostalgic feel of this hotel and the original elements... More

Over priced with average accommodations. I imagine its the best game in town though. The lobby appears new and modern. The rooms are small, but with excellent views of the ocean. The bathrooms are cramped. The hallways smell like a gym locker (seriously). Not sure how the management justifies their prices.

Stayed here a few days in March. It costed around $100 per night which was good. They said rates would almost triple in the on-season. Stayed here once before long before there was a trip advisor and decided to come back and experience it again. The front desk folks were very helpful and even allowed a several hour late check...

Beautiful hotel, right on the beach. Most rooms have been completely renovated. We stayed in the honeymoon suite for our wedding. Beautiful room with giant jacuzzi tub. Huge The free breakfast was outstanding. Loved the front desk staff. There were 3 weddings that weekend and you would have never known it.

When I first pulled up I was a bit skeptical, but once I walked through the doors it was a sigh of relief. Very nice lobby and courteous staff. I was upgraded to a room with a walkout balcony. The room itself was very nice and well laid out. Clean and comfortable.The bathroom was my favorite part. The rain shower... More

We were put in this hotel after we had a problem with the hotel we originally booked. They were very nice about upgrading us and giving us a discount. The room was comfortable, and the hotel is walking distance from the main street of the island with restaurants. The breakfast was also good. It seemed pretty quiet for a hotel... More

The Blockade-Runner Hotel was the host hotel for the 2013 Carolina Cup Stand Up Paddleboard Race. Any hotel can do well during normal occupancy loads but 450+ contestants and 400+ spectators for 4 days can put a strain on any business. The property is located on Wrightsville Beach with the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the inter coastal waterway... More
