DoubleTree by Hilton Atlantic Beach Oceanfront…read more I used electronic check-in, though I did stop by the front desk briefly to ask where the restaurant was before heading over for dinner about 40 minutes before closing. I'll cover that experience separately. Overall, the hotel delivered a solid stay. The room--707, oceanfront--was clean for the most part and well-equipped with everything you'd expect: refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker (filter-style pods), ironing board, hair dryer, and a television. Lighting is excellent, with plenty of lamps throughout the room, and there are ample AC outlets along with modern USB and USB-C ports, which is a nice touch. One feature that stood out was the small table with two chairs. It made a big difference since I ended up bringing dinner back to the room, and having a proper place to sit and eat comfortably is something not every hotel gets right. The room itself was spacious with a balcony overlooking the ocean. The view was great, and the setup made it easy to relax and enjoy the beachfront atmosphere. There was nothing wrong with the room--it was a solid, comfortable oceanfront stay. Parking is plentiful and free, which is always a plus in a beach area. One thing to keep in mind for this stretch of the coast: it tends to stay windy. Be prepared for strong winds and quick temperature changes, especially if you're spending time outside on the balcony or walking along the beach. Overall, a good, reliable oceanfront stay with the conveniences you want and a comfortable setup for relaxing by the water.

Fast forward this a few years…read more I've probably stayed here on five or six occasions during summer, fall and winter. Like many have said, and it's the truest thing you can say about this hotel, you cannot beat the location and there is nothing in the immediate area which compares to it in that respect. Out the back door and there is the beach along with plenty of parking. Good/Bad/Ugly Time: Good: As mentioned prior, you cannot be the location. Having the balcony door open at night to the sound of the ocean is nothing short of perfect. When they have their outside beach bar open that's also not too bad for the view and the ambiance. No issues with any of the staff here over the years. If you're so inclined you can walk to the bar across the street (The Wheelhouse) or On the Rocks or slightly further is a very well stocked Dollar General that's only a few years old. It's also a short drive to The Food Lion, a McD's, ABC store and a few others. The key is to ALWAYS watch the hours of operation or else you will find out the hard way that McD's will close at 8pm or the better of the two pizza places in town is only open 4pm-9pm. It's not the end of the world as there are far more choices over in Morehead City. Bad: Yeah, the place is definitely dated. I believe it started life as a Sheraton in the late 80's and I think the AB area and the hotel have taken two fairly direct hurricane shots within the past 10-ish or so years. Am I willing to overlook the elderly quirks (although they are on board with Hilton's new streaming TV requirement)? Yes, without question but if you come expecting new/hip/modern, it's not happening. Also, plenty and I mean plenty of people are smoking various things on their balconies or in the hotel's outside courtyard area. If that is going to bother you.......I can't help you on that one. Ugly: Most of the food they serve simply isn't very good and/or it's not uncommon to find they are out of various menu items from their small menus or drinks from their small drinks list. If you have the F&B credit to play with, I guess do what you need to do but aside from maybe a burger at the outside beach bar, don't do it. Overall, whatever, I like this place because I love the area. It's truly a beach/area for beach lovers who want a quiet/pure/simple experience that's 180 of the crap in Myrtle/OCMD or anything in Jerz. Overall, God-willing, I'll be back.

This will be the only place we stay from here out. We got the King Jacuzzi room, the room has a king size bed and a very, very large jacuzzi in the room. We were able to enjoy a beer, in the jacuzzi and watch the Final Four games. All the rooms are ocean view and beach access is just a walk across the boardwalk. The other kicker is the showers in the room. I was told that some rooms had tubs for families with small children but our room had a huge shower with multiple shower heads that were all adjustable. I've stayed in a lot of hotels around the world that were supposedly a lot nicer than this one, but in the end it was one of my favorite stays ever. We highly recommend the Windjammer.

We were able to check in earlier than the 3pm time given online. The girls and I went into the cutest room with whales painted on the walls above painted waves. We chose a double bed room. There were two beds, a small wooden table with two chairs, another wooden bench, a dresser, small fridge, and microwave. There is a vanity with a large mirror, and a tiny bathroom with a shower/tub and toilet. The room was clean, and very neat. We had plenty of towels, as well as extra blankets for each bed. The air conditioning was working great! This hotel has two different picnic/outdoor seating areas. One is outside the area where most of the rooms are. The other outdoor area is down at the other end of the property. They had chairs, picnic tables, a grill, and even bbq tools ready to be used. The girls played with beach balls, and we were able to just sit back and relax. Their hotel also has boat slips in a little gut out back. If you choose to bring your boat, they're ready for you! The lady/owner got us into our room and was so nice. She explained the layout, and rules of the hotel. (No pets, no smoking, quiet time began at 10pm). She was so sweet. This is definitely a family-run business and is geared toward families. There is beach access directly across the road, but we took the short drive down to the Fort Macon beach area. The Caribbe Inn is close to the Morehead bridge, many restaurants, stores, beach shops, and other places you might need while at the beach. We had such a nice stay, and enjoyed our time away. We girls ate out, played on the beach, slept very well at night, and had a great stay at the Caribbe Inn! We will be back!

I had just…read moresigned up for the Hilton honors rewards program and it was my first time utilizing some of the perks. Communication was fantastic. Was able to check on my reservation through the Hilton Honors app and was able to check in through the app and even get a digital key. I did not have to go to the front desk at all. We had a room with two beds that faced the water. It was very nice. It was not over-the-top fancy, but was definitely comfortable. We took advantage of the free hot breakfast buffet the two mornings that we were there. I enjoyed the waffle that my husband made me with the waffle maker. All of the usual breakfast buffet items were there as well. Sausage, bacon, muffins, eggs, etc. The hotel lobby is very nice and the one time I did ask the front desk employee a question she was very helpful. If you are looking for a hotel that is centrally located, with very nice water views, and some nice included benefits, such as the hot breakfast buffet, you should definitely consider this hotel.

I spilled something on the bed so I pulled the sheets up from the mattress. When I came back later they just laid the sheets and blanket back down. I again had to go to the desk and ask for service. Went to the pool and some substance was floating in the corner. It looked like vomit. I alerted the staff and they said it was just pollen and suntan lotion. Pollen in late July? Was informed by other guest that 2 days prior someone had been vomiting in the pool and they never cleaned it. A guy came out with a paper towel and skimmed the water but it is very much still there.

(This visit was made during the times of Covidious. When things return to a look of normality -…read moreyour experience likely will vary.) It's a bizarre time to be reviewing most things because Covid has obviously thrown off the "normal" into many shades of grey. With that said, take this one with a grain of salt as it's only a brief snapshot in time for how things are now. In another month or two, who knows? Let's start with the good: The location to the beach couldn't be any better. Just a short walk and you're there. The hotel was sold out or near it every night we were there yet the beach area directly across the street was never busy. The same as last year with seeing the same families and people every day more or less set up in the same spot very spread out from each other. All Covidly perfect. Not so good: Hilton Honors benefits at check in are still a no here, just like last year. The beds are extremely squeaky. Any sitting/moving = high pitched squeaking. The hotel is not following the new Hilton/Lysol cleaning protocol that started a few weeks ago. No stickers on the room doors or verbiage anywhere on property. I was told at check in that if you want your garbage taken to have it in the hallway early in the morning so that housekeeping could grab it and that the only way to get fresh towels or any bedding was to stop a housekeeper in the hall with your old stuff or bring your old stuff with you to the front desk since the hotel was running extremely low. Is the hotel's linen par really that low? Is the smell of that much garbage-food in the hallways overnight a good idea? Our room was dusty/sandy when we checked in and the a/c unit was filthy. No way were either cleaned thoroughly in a while. But since there was no daily housekeeping and with the hotel being sold out the day we checked in... If you want a hotel that has a great beach location that is out of the way and quiet, this is it. Past that, things were on the dirtier side in general and I question any place not following the new cleaning protocol. Time to give this one a rest for a bit.

Con: Dirty towels left on kitchen counter. Pro: Outdoor pools were nice. Con: Horrible soundproofing. Every single sound in next door and upstairs units was heard. Kids running, chairs scraping, raised voices and music. Also, for a no pets allowed facility, 3 dogs were on our floor. Not service animals either. The biggest dealbreaker by far was the absolute nastiness of the floors, counters, baseboards, toilet seats/lids, shower floors, dining table, chairs. Every single surface was nasty. Yes, we informed the front desk but we cleaned it ourselves, except the baseboards and glass doors. After all, we were supposed to be on vacation, not the hired help.

The most reasonable rates I found were at the Oceanana. Several good things to say about this facility. There is a lot of open space for your beach enjoyment. Rocking chairs are there for you to enjoy. There's an outdoor pool, a couple of picnic areas, shuffleboard courts, a children's play area, access to the beach, and a free fishing pass at their pier. There's also plenty of access to water hoses to wash the sand off you or your stuff, and a clothesline with clothespins to hang your wet suits or towels. Instead of your standard mini soaps and shampoos, there are wall-mounted containers for soap, shampoo, and conditioner. I also found the staff I dealt with to be friendly. I booked the economy room. Two double beds, shower, cable tv, mini-fridge, free wifi. No frills decor, nothing fancy. Quiet surroundings. Had a small problem with the tv, and maintenance addressed it quickly. For a price that's about half of what the chains wanted, it was a good stay for me. I wouldn't suggest the economy rooms for families or business professionals needing a place to meet with clients or employees. If you are ok with a basic no-frills room or if you are there for the fishing opportunities, it's a good option.

It is like taking a step back to a simpler time when you arrive, though appearances might be a little disconcerting initially if you have never stated in such a place (by that I mean an older motel, obviously this is not a new fancy highrise Sheraton), it's an affordable family oriented resort with private beach, pool, playground, and a community feel. You can talk easily to the other guests and maybe meet people who also built cherished memories here when they were kids, too. We stayed in a suite, but not one of the renovated rooms. Overall it was definitely like going back in time, but we had everything we needed. They do the best they can with what they have, everyone there works very hard. The entire motel and property looks exactly the same as it did 40 years ago. There is a family feel to it, can't go wrong with the pool and the private beach and pier right there. Watermelon and ice cream parties on Wednesday and Saturday, it's nice to see families coming together for those activities. Every morning there is a continental breakfast outside, with items like hard boiled eggs, cheese cubes, little powdered donuts, packaged pastries and little sausage biscuits. Fruit cups, yogurts, bananas. Toast, bagels, cereal, coffee, juices. They should put up some wires atop the shelter areas to deter seagulls from menacing guests. This is not a Sheraton or upscale place, but for a few nights at the ocean you can't beat the price and the family memories made are priceless. All rooms are non-smoking, I only wish it was 100% non smoking property, people smoking at the pool and out front of their rooms was not good. Also, the room was pretty clean but the old musty carpet always felt damp. There was some gunk on the wall next to one of the beds. We were given 4 bath towels a day for 4 of us, but really could have used double that because we were at the beach every morning, then at the pool, and back at the pool at night. We brought our own pool towels of course but with 2 kids we needed more bath towels. They also never gave us more soap. We ended up using the palmolive dish soap for washing up. If you are into that retro feel, not intimidated by "first appearancees", don't mind a very simplistic room, you will not mind this motel.
