What guests think

At Best Western Shallotte / Ocean Isle Beach Hotel, travelers consistently praise the friendly staff, generally clean rooms, and convenient location near Highway 17 and area beaches, making it a practical base for short stays and local visits.

Breakfast feedback is mixed, with several notes of plentiful options and tasty items, but recurring complaints about limited selection or cold food. Rooms are often described as comfortable, though some report very small showers (especially in jetted-tub suites), lukewarm hot water, thin walls, and occasional maintenance issues like buckled hallway carpet. A few guests mentioned pests or strong smoke or weed odors and intermittent noise. Overall, expect a straightforward, budget-friendly stay with some inconsistencies.

We enjoyed our stay at Best Western! It was clean, quiet with a salt water pool. Both Holden and Ocean Isle beaches were not far to travel too. We went to both of them. The staff and help were wonderful. The breakfast was an extra. I would recomnend Best Western!

During my stay, I was first welcomed with a warm greeting at the check-in desk. Upon receiving my keys (to the second floor), I entered my room and immediately noticed a small bug (roach) on the bathroom counter. After further inspection, there was hair from the previous guest in the shower along with another dead bug and the running water was brown. I was informed by front desk staff that prior work was being done to fix the water. And was relocated. I’ve stayed at this property before but not with this experience.

The staff was extremely helpful. The room was very clean and spacious. The jetted tub really great! The one negative was the thin walls. All night we could hear people walking around above us and talking all around us, snoring, dropping things.... And the noise from the hallway was pretty loud.

This might have been the smallest possible room for two full beds -- the door barely missed the bed nearest when it was opened. The pool was amazing on a hot day, and the beach was right there. Tall people need to watch their heads in some areas.

The staff here is wonderful. From the check in to the lovely lady taking care of breakfast. The room was nice, but the shower was absolutely tiny. I mean, when I say tiny I mean like a shower in a 80s camper. Also, the pillows were awful. But other than that it was a great stay!

Well it is a nice hotel. But yall the bed frame sticks out so our shins took a beating just walking by the bed or going to get off the bed i smacked the side of my foot on the frame and the pillows fall in-between the mattress and the wall while sitting or sleeping. Also while in the bathroom heard a loud bang from the room next door and a guy yell from smacking his leg on the bed in his room. I knew it was the bed because he said damn bed afterwards super loud. It does hurt.

Every one of the staff was friendly and helpful. Our TV stopped working and they offered to move our room and give us a discount. Only thing I could comment on improving was the carpet in the downstairs hallway. It was bunched up the entire length of the hall and a tripping hazard. Even so, I would definitely stay again!

Love this property, just 13 minutes from ocean isle beach and we were able to drive out 37 minutes to enjoy Myrtle beach attractions as well, very clean place and Waffle House was right next door and other fast food restaurants were across the street within 2 minute walking distance! I’d definitely recommend this place to stay and will be back!

The reason I stayed here was because it is the closest accommodation to the drive-in at Planet Fun. It's easy walking distance, almost within sight. I think it's somewhat over priced.

Upon walking through the door, we were greeted by a kind hostess. She seemed especially concerned with potentially spreading COVID and wore a mask and gloves while helping us. Ink pins at the desk were santized and separated from those used by other guests. The room was very clean and the staff were nice and considerate. Breakfast was absolutely DELICIOUS, served with fresh made waffles and whatever else one may fancy in the morning. Great stay!! Highly recommend

Have stayed before. The rooms are fine but I do have to say the free breakfast offered is somewhat to be desired or edible, and I do understand it is free but it truly seems as it is leftovers from days before. The biscuits were very hard, the eggs cooked to a crisp and the sausage swimming in whatever that would have been. The yogurt machine was good and they do have the waffle maker.

The front staff were very polite and friendly. Check in was relatively quick as well. The room was clean and the bed comfortable for the most part. The carpet in the hall looked terrible though and there wasn't a whole lot of options for their free breakfast, nor did it look appealing. Their drink cooler was bare bones as well as their snack corner. Decent hotel overall but way overpriced for what they currently have.

My wife and I choose Best Western to celebrate our 25 year anniversary. We checked in Saturday night and as we exited the elevator on the second floor we knew it would be a bad night. The entire second level stunk from someone smoking weed. We called the front desk but nothing they could do. It got so bad it was coming in our room. We had a group in the room beside us that had they blasting and partied all night. The next night was better but the third night the weed smell was back. One morning the we went down to eat breakfast only to find a sign saying sorry no hot breakfast. The floor in the room was so dirty if you had white socks on they would turn brown just from walking on the floor. This morning we was going to eat breakfast and found that they only had one biscuit that was wrapped in plastic so we just said forget and left. What a disaster for our anniversary.
