Loggerhead Inn

Clean, very close to the beach, quiet and very affordable.
The room was a little bare bones but comfortable, and we didn’t get a WiFi signal but that was fine with us. We went to Topsail to go to the beach and unplug/​unwind, not hang out in a motel room and spend time on the internet, and this motel was perfect for that. Hunga Bunga Java, one of the best cups of coffee I’ve had in a long time, is right next door. The staff was friendly and courteous. Only thing I would have liked to see was maybe another lock on the door.

Not a bargain, just cheep.
I chose this hotel because of the price and that they claimed to have wifi.
I was very disappointed.
First off the room was very small. There wasn’t even a closet. There wasn’t even a phone in the room! We asked for extra pillows and towels. They brought us the pillows but exclaimed that they couldn’t give us extra towels because they only had one washing machine.
The wifi didn’t work. We went to the front desk several times to get help with it but it was spotty at best. When I told the guy working there (he might have been the owner) that I called about the wifi before I booked and was disappointed it didn’t work. He said well we didn’t lie we have wifi in the office.
We won’t be staying there again.

Heater did not work on a sub-​50 degree evening in early May, and since the windows have box A/​C units, the cool air drifts in. We struggled to sleep as a result. They would not give us any sort of a discount or refund, but did bring in some space heaters for the next day, and were generally friendly about it.
The locks on the door are bad — just doorknob ones, easy to get past. There is no chain nor padlock. Be aware, I wouldn’t leave valuables inside.
Cheap towels, very hard water. Mirror was dislodged on the wall. For some reason, the housekeeping service came in and folded our towels, but did not touch the bed sheets, replenish soaps, etc. No biggie, just a little odd.
Smells musty.
That said, the bed was fine comfort-​wise, no bugs that we saw, it was OK. Right next to Hunga Bunga Java, which has great coffee. Just worth more like $ 40/​night, not $ 75/​night.
And check the heater or A/​C the moment you get in, in case something’s not working.

We booked this Inn for a last minute holiday weekend trip. Prices were fair and they even made an exception to their normal policy to accommodate our short stay. We were late to arrive on Saturday night and the office called us to inquire when we were arriving to be sure we were able to get into our room for the night. Turns out we were only 15 minutes away at that point, but I thought this was a nice touch. Upon arrival we checked in and the manager on duty was extremely friendly and checked us in very quickly. The room is what I expected it to be. Rather small, only accommodating 2 people, but well maintained. For the price and proximity to the beach as well as restaurants (walking distance to all) I thought it was a great place to stay. Honestly, my only issue the whole time here was the lack of a decent pillow. Usually with any lodging stay we can find one pillow that is decent, but these were nothing more than the width of a carpet remnant! We had to use some folded towels AND the skinny pillow. Not a deal breaker, by any means, but would bring my own pillow next time. As some have mentioned, TV’s are out of date, but c’mon, you’re at the beach, who watches TV? I would definitely stay here again. Great value and good quality.

Affordable and friendly staff! Our room was spacious and always kept clean. The housekeeping staff took excellent care if us all week. The room was beautifully decorated, not cheesy, and the bed was comfortable. They offered a deal of one night free when you booke 5 nights Sunday-​Thursday and it was worth it! We were just a block from the beach!

Can’t beat the off season prices. You’re right on the water with a nice view. FYI, don’t get hungry after 9pm, everything shuts down there pretty early. Also, don’t get your hopes up about the wifi…
