“Concerned but surprised”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 30, 2011

OK this trip my husband and I made was with my cousins who had stayed at this property before - I was a little apprehensive after reading many of the reviews of what kind of place we would be staying at - however I thought - for the rate and the fact I always take my lysol spray and wipes - I can survive anything.

I think it's important for everyone to understand Palmetto Shores has 3 separate buildings, 2 named Atlantica - We stayed in the first building closest to the Sky Wheel.

When we firsted arrived we went to Palmetto Shores to check in only to find a notice reading to go to the Atlantica Building to check in the lobby was closed. Ok back into the car to Atlantica - the check in area of this building is very small, no seating or lobby. We got checked in, while our husbands went to unload the car, my cousins' wife and I decided to see our room - well our room was 1352 - everyone knows hotels don't label floors as 13 - our room actually was PH52.

I had booked us online for a 2 bedroom condo ocean front queen bed - we ended up with a 2 bedroom king bed set up -which was just fine. I did notice a few areas on the floors in the corners that could have been swept out and the closets in the bathroom we used needed sweeping, other than that the place was clean. I kept in mind this hotel is probably a high traffic hotel during the summer so I didn't have extremely high expectations. In addition I believe housekeeping can do better service in the off season, I was even surprised they did towel service on our second day there, most resorts if you only spend 2 nights do not offer that service, but you have to go to the front desk to ask for additional towels - nice.

The decor seemed to be rather new, I would say rennovated within the last few years. There was a couple of knicked places in the bathtub connected to our room, a patch repair place in the ceiling of the living room and paint patch repair on the balcony. So that definately shows the owners of the property do try to keep things repaired.

The walls between the rooms are either thin or the folks in the next room were extremely loud. All in all I thought it was a nice stay, I believe the fact I read some negative reviews had me on guard to find things wrong. The place was clean, which is of utmost importance, the staff was friendly and helpful - so yes I would recommend this place to stay at and it's a possibilty I will stay at it again. I enjoyed the indoor pool and jaccuzzi.

Room Tip: try to get your room in the Altantica -the higher the floor the better

“great location...needs a serious cleaning!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 26, 2011

the location and staff were outstanding. the entire 2 bedroom condo needs to be cleaned. Pizza was under the sofa from previous guests. Our wet footprint showed in the kitchen and bathroom.

“Fall Getaway/Atlantica”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 26, 2011

We needed a fall getaway and got it for a bargain of $49 per night in 1 bedroom penthouse condo with full breakfast each morning. We checked in on Saturday so it was a bit busy and Jordan opened another register to help out when he saw the backup. We got to our room and were pleasantly surprised. The beds were a bit harder than we liked, but we did not see any bugs and the place was clean. We went and bought groceries because we had a full kitchen and sat on the breathtaking balcony to enjoy the views and weather. That Monday we had a full day to explore and Roxy at the desk was so helpful in pointing us to the Brookgreen Gardens. It was well worth the drive and we had a wonderful full day there. Was very hard to leave on Tuesday and go home, so we asked for an extra hour to take one last swim in the heated indoor pool and checked out. Thank you for a Blessed early Birthday getaway! Hate to write too good of a review because we hope to come back again next year and hope this special is still around.

Room Tip: Upgrade to Condo if possible

“"Stay away"”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed October 23, 2011

My wife and I needed some time away and the $44/night price along with the pictures of the room seemed to be a great deal. The online photos were probably taken on opening day because it is definately in need of renovations. We noticed immediately that the kitchen was dirty and needed cleaning. Food spilled on the stove, the floor had something spilled on it and not cleaned very well. The refrigerator was rusted all over the outside and quite a bit of mold in the bathroom and shower curtain. The free wi-fi did not work the entire time we were there and the only explination the staff coluld come up with was "it's being worked on"! Great location is the only positive thing I can come up with.

“Great Bargain!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 21, 2011

This hotel, while dated, was clean and a wonderful bargain! Great distance for walking, full kitchen in our efficiency, balcony also, and free full breakfast buffet from 7-11am, all for $37 a night?! Yes, please! Hotel staff was helpful, called cabs for my boyfriend and I. Parking is right across the street, not nearly the issue that some reviewers made it out to be. After all, why would you want a giant hotel parking lot taking up space on the oceanfront anyway? There is a perfect size loading/unloading lot. Paige at the front desk was sweet as could be, friendly with all guests in the lobby, even though maning the desk alone. Don't be a prisspot, you're at the beach! Who cares if its the lap of luxury or not, as long as its clean, in a good location andhas good staff. Indoor pool and jacuzzi were fine too. We are from Wilmington, NC, an hour north and home to two other popular beach destinations, Wrightsville and Carolina Beaches, so we are well aware of scams versus bargains, and this is a bargain!
