Just stayed at Waterway Lodge this week. Never been to Wrightsville Beach before and I am so glad we didn't pay attention to the negative reviews. Bright, fresh-smelling, clean rooms. Remodeled kitchenette with small fridge,excellent A/C, lighting and seaside decor. I don't have a pet but I wanted a central, economical location so I was pleasantly surprised with the clean,...

We were on our way to Charleston and stopped here at night when we were tired. Got a beautiful room on the ground floor which was away from the rest of the rooms. Had our own little parking space and patio with chairs. The room was nicely decorated with a beach theme and had a mini kitchenette. Walked a little... More

Stayed here not long ago and had a nice time. It was great being so close to the beach and right across the street from the Bridge Tender, Fish House and Dockside Restaurant. No driving needed! The price was great too and we will be back for sure!

My family and I stayed here for one week last summer, the place is terrific! The new management is great and were very attentive to anything we needed. We stayed in room 222 and it was very comfortable. I noticed a lot of renovations being done on other rooms so I cant wait to see what the rooms look like... More

My partner and I have stayed at this hotel for many years when visiting his daughter in Wilmington. We have always liked this hotel and have been impressed with the staff. It is now under new management and we have stayed there twice since. I think the first time we stayed after the new management took over, they were still... More

Stayed the weekend at the Waterway Lodge. It's an older building, but the room was great. It even had a small kitchen! The staff was very helpful and assisted me with a late check-in. Walked up the street for dinner and down to the beach on saturday. The walk might seem a little far- but it went fast and there... More

Chose this hotel for the location near a boat ramp. Arrived late and manager arranged a room key in a lock box. Room was large and clean, but mattress was just okay. But it was a good price considering the near-waterfront location.

Absolutely TERRIBLE!!! Went to check in and they made a "mistake" on our reservation and didn't have us in the system. We were traveling with our dog so we didn't really have many options(we arrived after driving 3 hrs)...They were able to give us a room..WITH NO AIR CONDITIONING(it was 90degrees out), the rooms refridgerator was off and the door...
