Not well sound proofed. Could hear guest's room hair dryer easily, as well as upstairs guest walking across the floor. In addition, repairs on adjacent room were being performed in the morning well before checkout or plan for waking. View of ocean was very nice, however, and room was clean.

It was a beautiful place and nice helpful people working there. It would have been five stars. If the room didn’t have a disinfectant smell. I know blue LED lighting makes it cheaper for upkeep, but it’s so sterile feeling! As does having zero decor in your room. I love to have cheap seaside art, as opposed to nothing. But all of this can be forgotten when you have a wonderful beachfront. One thing that always drives me crazy is the incredible waste of all the plastic packaging at breakfast. This of course applies to most hotels these days I wish something could be done about it.

Would stay again!
Great location, pools were clean. Front desk was just...there. Building and rooms need updating. Elevator was "misbehaving"...it wanted try to shut multiple times before it closed...every time. Complimentary "deluxe" breakfast was minimal, went only once. Overall, we would stay again.

Our stay was great! However the buildings need clearer marking's. Maybe on the wall facing the road so you don’t have to wait until you check the stairwell. However after the first time finding your number it’s easy!

We've stayed at The Islander many times over the years. It's a great place to stay mainly because of the location, but they could put a little more time and money into refurbishing the place. They are quite a bit behind the neighbor next door, Ocean Isle Inn.
