Hotel Alice At Atlantic Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful space and loved being able to walk across the street and being at the beach! Thank you for the complimentary drinks! Could work on better wifi service for laptops although phone connected fine."

Crystal Coast Oceanfront Hotel

8/10 Good

"All of you the staff was super, super friendly and helpful. From the front desk to the restaurant to the outside pool bar. The room was fresh, beachy, updated and fairly clean. Balcony is a good size with decent chairs and small table for a hotel. The view and proximity to the beach are excellent! We did not use the pool but it looked fine. The bed and pillows were pretty good. The restaurant was just okay. Not great. I would not eat there again. The lobster ravioli did not taste fresh, probably frozen out of a bag. Service was great! Breakfast buffet was not worth it at all. Very basic food, no fresh fruit. The eggs were watery. Service was great. They add 20% gratuity to your bill for a buffet. You have to pay for parking 20 a day. It feels like they try to quickly slide that past you. I read it in a review or would have not known until they added the charge. The most inconvenient issue, they have “WiFi” but we could not get anything at all. No internet service and we could not even make it take calls in the room. We had to go outside the building for any calls or internet. The front desk told us it was the weather, but it was like that for our entire 3 nights and the weather was fine for most of that time. We very much enjoyed our stay as we love the beach and oceanfront accommodations. We do not regret going but would probably not choose this hotel again."
