The staff were friendly and prompt to greet us upon check-in; the lobby is large and tidy. The rooms are well kept and spacious. We chose a suite room with a water view and weren't disappointed. It was super nice with a full kitchen and large living room in addition to a spacious room and bathroom. Beautiful views and nice size balconies round out the experience. Only two things quickly to note: 1) The balconies are lovely, but we had a weird experience with little finches getting caught between the concrete of the balcony edge and the gap between the clear plexiglass. We ended up rescuing 2 birds in the same morning, so hoping that doesn't happen frequently. Poor birds. 2) The breakfast is a bit sparse and comes off as somewhat cheap. Lovely to have it delivered to your room, but the portions were super tiny and pretty sparse overall. I would've preferred a traditional continental breakfast. Minor quibble but ultimately does matter in guest satisfaction overall. Overall a really nice hotel, good location and very clear with a few quirks.

As you enter, you notice that the trash cans by the door are clean and empty, the glass doors clean and a woman is mopping wet footprints off of the floor each time someone walks across the lobby. The staff comes in early in the morning and you see them arrive with clean, pressed uniforms as they are talking and entering the building. They are a team and everyone knows their job and takes pride in their work. The pool deck and walkway to the beach are cleaned every morning. The men that take care of the outside amenities empty the trash, pick up items left behind and straighten the patio furniture before anyone comes to use the amenities. The groundskeepers then show up and mow the grass with a battery powered mower and weedwacker so that it doesn't disturb anyone that is still sleeping. They have coffee by the restaurant as early as 6:30 in the morning. It is hotel coffee, but this is a hotel and not a barista fixing your cup of morning joe. The restaurant that is on site and serves breakfast is very clean and offers seating options inside or on their patio. They are a little slow to get you seated, but once seated you are taken care of and don't need to ask for anything. Our cups were full and so were our stomachs as we got ready for a day at the beach. I don't like buffets. However, this buffet very clean and the food was good. We did sample the menu 2 of the days that we stayed. Th

I'll cover that experience separately. Overall, the hotel delivered a solid stay. The room--707, oceanfront--was clean for the most part and well-equipped with everything you'd expect: refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker (filter-style pods), ironing board, hair dryer, and a television. Lighting is excellent, with plenty of lamps throughout the room, and there are ample AC outlets along with modern USB and USB-C ports, which is a nice touch. One feature that stood out was the small table with two chairs. It made a big difference since I ended up bringing dinner back to the room, and having a proper place to sit and eat comfortably is something not every hotel gets right. The room itself was spacious with a balcony overlooking the ocean. The view was great, and the setup made it easy to relax and enjoy the beachfront atmosphere. There was nothing wrong with the room--it was a solid, comfortable oceanfront stay. Parking is plentiful and free, which is always a plus in a beach area. One thing to keep in mind for this stretch of the coast: it tends to stay windy. Be prepared for strong winds and quick temperature changes, especially if you're spending time outside on the balcony or walking along the beach. Overall, a good, reliable oceanfront stay with the conveniences you want and a comfortable setup for relaxing by the water.

And yet, of all the places I have been, few can match the charm and service of this wonderful couple and this establishment. "Charming coastal" is indeed accurate as another reviewer noted, but so is kind and engaging. At least, that is how I found the host Kim, who is the hostess during your stay. The rooms are modest in size but well appointed and comfy with a wonderful balcony to enjoy a morning coffee and watch the city wake up. The highlight of each morning was the breakfast together. The breakfast is served at 9 sharp and is served with the other guests. It makes for not only a delicious breakfast, but Kim uses it as an opportunity to help direct, guide, and suggest places nearby that meet your interests. This is great as it means you get insider tips and ways to optimize your stay by taking the guesswork out--particularly when you have a small window for activities (we were only there for a few days). In the evenings, Kim hosts a happy hour which includes helping guests secure reservations and dinner plans settled before you go. This is not just a recommendation by Kim--she actively calls and secures the spots and confirms them with you. True concierge service! Setting aside the wonderful host and the rooms, the location is superb. We were there over the weekend, and there is a delightful Saturday market literally ACROSS the street filled with vendors of all varieties. Warming: it is easy to spend. ;) The entirety of the downtown is merely a block away with shops, restaurants, and bars galore along with the cruises, sports fishing, and recreation just a short walk down the road. Bottom line: I adored this place and have already recommended it to friends and family here in Durham (where we live) and beyond. If you can swing it (it is worth every penny) and want to give yourself or your partner a weekend to remember, I cannot more strongly recommend the Inn on Turner.

Could not enjoy deck or pool because of smokers. Also hotel has no pets policy except for service dogs. Clearly the dogs last week were not service dogs A little weiner dog would run free around picnic tables peeing on everything, while their owners sat at table and chained smoked. we were told "service" dogs were booked on bottom floor. there was one on 3rd floor we could hear barking. There should be designated no pet floors for asthma and allergic people.

There was gook on the office chair; fingerprints all over the door including the lock plate as well as orange stains on the wall and light switches. Someone isn't doing the bare minimum of cleaning. The restroom was the grossest. The shower had several hairs belonging to someone else; the shower walls were dirty; and the area around the show had a buildup of gunk and dust so I don't think that area in the room had ever been cleaned. The shampoo; conditioner and soap containers were not filled. To make the stay worse my room was noisy as it overlooked the pool and was outside of the elevator so I heard every conversation and commotion that occurred in the hall area. Breakfast was to be ready by 6:30am but it wasn't. The woman in charge was complaining about missing items from a locked refrigerator and seemed upset that people were consuming the food and beverages. Isn't that the point of breakfast. I will not stay at this Holiday Inn again.

Things are new, they're still finishing up some small things as Covid and red tape slowed reconstruction. My room was clean, I appreciated the tile floor vs carpet, my personal preference. The staff was friendly and helpful. Due to Covid they aren't offering a hot breakfast like they normally do, but have wrapped pastries, fruit, cereal, coffee, tea, reheatable sausage biscuits, etc that you can bag up and bring back to your room. Normally would have eggs, sausage/bacon, pancakes. At other times they have a small retail area with sodas, juice, snacks etc for purchase as reasonable prices. There is a small fitness center that I forgot to take a picture of, a guest laundry with one large washer and dryer. They do have a meeting room for guest use, not sure what the restrictions are during Covid times. It's located near a CVS, Walgreens, Gas station, several bank branches, and a supermarket within walking distance. I would definitely stay here again.

And another complaint is the chairs they say are complimentary for the beach, most are broken. And majority of people claim them before you can get down on the beach, so I recommend bringing your own chairs.

We were so excited to visit Atlantic Beach and looking forward to staying at the Crystal Coast Oceanfront Hotel, because the photos of this hotel were amazing. We almost drove past the hotel when we arrived. The color of the building looked faded and dingy. Beware that the images that they display on their website don't show the filth. I shrugged and decided that it's close to the ocean and although looking weathered, I was going to enter and make the most of this time away from the office. We approached the front door and the glass was dirty, the handle to the hotel felt dirty and gritty in my hands as we entered. We arrived early and they told us our room wasn't ready and that check-in time was at 4:00. The couple that arrived just after us were allowed to check in although early and went to their room. We went back into the hotel at about 3:45 to get in line to pick up our keys, because the foyer was full. We were told at approximately 4:30 that our room wasn't ready and that they were short staffed, had over 80 rooms to get ready and that we would just have to wait in the lobby, the restaurant or we could go to the pool or the beach. We were traveling with our dog and had over $12,000.00 dollars worth of bikes on the bike rack. The options that she presented for us wouldn't work. We moved aside and let the people behind us go, since they might have better luck. We got back into line and made it to the check-in desk at about 4:40-4:45. We explained that the options that she had presented wouldn't work for us and we asked to have our money back so that we could go elsewhere. She refused and we asked to speak to the manager. She said that the manager wasn't available. I told her that we would get our money back, because we made a reservation for a room, paid in advance and they didn't have the room that we reserved. At that moment, we felt like we were in the Jerry Seinfeld episode...You can take the reservation, but don't know how to hold the reservation. She told us we would have to came back later and talk with the manager. We went after dinner at around 7:00. The front desk attendant was missing in action, so we rang the bell on the counter. She finally came into the office and smelled as thought she had been smoking a cigarette. She said, how can I help you and she had completely forgotten what had happened just a few hours earlier. We explained that we had tried to check in and our room wasn't ready and we wanted to speak with the manager. We were once again told that the manager wasn't available. We asked her to give our money back or to call the manager so that they could process the refund. She told me to quit screaming at her. I looked around and the lobby was full. I told her that I wasn't screaming and that she simply didn't want to hear what I had to say. I told my supervisor what the front desk attendant said about me screaming. He said that he has worked along side of me for the last 19 years and has never heard me scream at anyone and didn't even think that I could scream. My nickname is mouse, because I have a tiny voice. We tried to call the hotel throughout the week and nobody would answer the phone. We finally made our way back to the Hotel on Friday. They refused to offer a refund and told us we would need to call Expedia. Our reservation was made through booking.com. We called booking.com, explained that our room wasn't ready and that we had to secure another last minute reservation for the week. The representative placed us on hold and called the hotel to request that they refund our money if the room wasn't ready on time as we had stated. The manager said that she was declining the refund. The booking.com representative said okay, but I have just 1 more question before you hang up. Was their room ready at 4:00? The manager said that the room wasn't ready and hung up the phone. Booking.com got our money back with 24 hours after we made the call. They also paid the difference that we paid the Crystal Coast Oceanfront Hotel and the hotel that we were able to secure a last minute reservation.

The rooms were big and spotless and tastefully appointed. There were plenty of towels, snuggly beds, and many amenities in the room. Each morning we'd go outside on the balcony and sit in the rockers and soak in the sun! The hotel was decorated with a beachy, nautical theme that make us feel relaxed and comfortable. There's a huge lobby with wicker chairs for you to snuggle up and read or just watch the waves. The dining area is spacious and welcoming. The stay comes with a continental breakfast. Honestly, that could be better. For a nice Inn like this, it would be nice to have a better choice and quality of food: fresh, baked pastries and muffins, etc. but we had packaged and microwaved fare. They did have yogurt though. The front desk folks were super accommodating and pointed us to all the cool tourist attractions in the area. We had a wonderful stay here. Improve the food service and I'd give it 5 stars.
