My boyfriend and I just got back from spending 2 nights at the Blockade Runner over Labor Day weekend. We booked The Rendezvous Package that includes 2 nights, a bottle of champagne, chocolate covered strawberries, breakfast both mornings, and dinner for 2 at East for their pre fix menu. I would recommend this package to any couple looking for a ...

My wife and I stayed the evening of 24 Oct, 2008. The next morning, 8 vehicles in the hotel's parking lot had shattered windows. Many others had multiple stone chips, broken windshields, etc. The high winds had blown small stones/pea gravel off the hotel's roof(I'm guessing the roof is the type with sealant and then a stone top layer. ...

Ok for the location

We stayed in off season so that was nice. The hotel seemed very unorganized. We were told two different ways the breakfast vouchers worked. The front desk didn't go out of their way to help or to every say sorry for any inconvenience about anything. Our room key didn't work, and again, no sorry, just here. The elevator didn't work ...
I loved this place, we stayed on the top floor, sound side, and it was beautiful!!! The view was amazing!! I'm not sure which was the better view sound or ocean!! The rooms were clean, and updated! The staff was very nice! I will be staying here again!

The beach and the gardens were great. The service, the cleanliness were terrible. The front desk agents and waiters were rude and apathetic. I would not recommend this hotel. Perhaps it is too much to expect people to actually care these days. It was utterly disappointing and saddening.

Very disappointed
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/11/07
I had stayed here 3 times before Memorial Day 2007 and the quality and costumer service had gone way down. They had changed our reservation from a Harbor front room to an ocean front handicapped room with no view except for a wall. The room was nothing like the harbor front rooms and was very ugly. They said they had no other rooms except for that ...

Loved it
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/30/07
We spent a week here over a holiday weekend. It is an older hotel that has been upgraded. They have done an excellent job upgrading, however, it is still an older hotel. The view, gardens, pool, service and ocean were wonderful. It is located directly on Wrightsville Beach, which is not an overcrowded beach area. The pool has an open bar for ...

It stinks....literally
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/03/05
The hotel is a bit old but I can live with that. Cleanliness is average, and the location is great. BUT...I'm sitting in my room wondering if I'm going to have a headache all night becuase the room smells so MUSTY and MILDEW that I can't stand it. I'm ready to forfeit the money I paid and pack up my things and find another hotel. I ...
