The Inn at Southport

Great location. Easy check in. Off street parking. Older unit but modern conveniences.

Really great place to stay in Southport! Clean, affordable, and great experience overall. The location is good too - the waterfront area is a short walk away (or you can drive, but it’s an easy walk) and there are restaurants and shops neighboring the hotel. The host was not on site but left me a hand written note with some suggestions and checked in with me by text a few times during my stay. Sone minor things for other travelers to be aware of: Parking is tight. If all the rooms were booked I think some people would have to park on the street. One of the other tenants parked their truck and kayak trailer in two spots, plus they had another vehicle, so the owners may want to consider imposing a per room limit during the busy season to assure everyone gets a spot on site. I was here during the week so it wasn’t a problem for me. Everything is a short walk away here so it wouldn’t be a big deal to park on a side street, just noting it for awareness. Don’t expect a view - those places are down the street where you will pay an extra $200 a night. I suggest you save your cash for some fabulous sunset dinners or a piece of local art to bring home instead. That’s what I did! I’m really glad I picked this place and will definitely be back.

The Inn at Southport is a great little motel well situated in historic downtown Southport. Shops, restaurants and waterfront are all within walking distance. The marina to catch a ferry to Bald Head Island was only a few short miles. The motel was exceptionally clean and smelled wonderful! The staff was extraordinary, checking in with us via text to see if we needed anything. It was such a personal touch you don't get with big hotels. Every night they had a mini "bon-file" going, which is perfect for roasting marshmallows! The traffic was a bit noisy at night, but we took an extra white noise maker which blocked out most of the traffic sounds. We would totally stay here again, and it's perfect for a short weekend stay or a longer visit if coming to one of the fun festivals! Nice visit and motel stay all the way around!

Helpful and friendly staff, nice size comfortable room with a table and chairs, sofa, fridge, coffee maker, etc. The bathroom, however, is miniscule. A large person might have trouble using the shower or the toilet! The website mentioned that they have bicycles that are available for free, but the bikes were pretty rusty and two of the three had flat tires. The location being walking distance (several blocks) to the waterfront might justify the price, but we felt that it could have been a bit better experience.

This place was absolutely amazing from location, room, courtyard with fire pit, and absolutely the best communication you will get for check in process. will be are go to place in Southport from now on.

Great stay for a weekend! Clean. Quiet. Parking is tight, but street parking is available. Would stay again. Staff was super friendly.

We loved our stay! The bikes were a huge bonus. They made it so we could really see all of Southport! The room was just what we needed for a quick overnight.

Really friendly staff with clear and useful communication. They had good recommendations for restaurants and places to see. Super convenient location and a great price for a last minute, holiday weekend trip. They had bikes to borrow and water for us in the fridge after a hot hot day. This was a pretty no-frills room but had everything we needed and the staff is definitely going the extra mile to make sure you’re happy.

Easy parking, walkable to everything downtown Southport. Staff were very accommodating.

Well situated location w/responsive staff. However, it is an older property which needs extra care, reeks of weed, has zero amenities & frankly I suspect the owner is allowing it to go to seed. It could be a great property w/some TLC & added staff, likewise the check in @ 4 & checkout @ 10 are the worst I’ve seen

Staff was friendly and location is fantastic. However, bathroom was tiny and shower was disgusting. Bathroom sink cabinet was pulling away from the wall. They need to update the bathrooms. We didn’t shower there but went to a friend’s house to shower because shower was tiny and gross. But love the vintage motel vibe and place is passable if you don’t care about the bathroom!

Very clean

A good value for $39.79 per night. Unfortunately, the rate was much higher. I think they should remove the mold from the shower.

Mold and mildew in the shower! I get it that it’s an older place but that is gross and unhealthy. Towels had stains. Difficult to get a comfortable tempting the room. Room 1 by the street is very loud, it’s not quiet. Stayed here based on other reviews but my experience was quite different. Will never return nor recommend. Staff is quite attentive and reach out. I did not contact staff while I wss there about the condition of the room since it was just one night.

No WiFi or TV, ants in room

Very cute! Clean and convenient location

The room was immaculate and smelled very good. The bed was very comfortable and the service was impeccable! The Inn will always be my go to when vacationing in Southport! 10 out of 10!

My son and I stayed overnight on our way to the Outer Banks. Room is clean and bed is comfortable- room has a mini fridge and coffeemaker. Our room was #1 and closest to the street so there was some traffic noise but it didn't keep us awake. Property manager/owners were excellent with communication which is a plus since there wasn't anyone on site. Would definitely stay here again!

This is a very comfortable property in the main part of this small town. It seems that the owner made a recent and very considerable investment to update the rooms and the results are outstanding. The room was spotless and very comfortable. They have a contactless check in procedure and it worked flawlessly. Would recommend.

Not many hotels in this area making this place somewhat of an unfortunate limited option. The rooms and grounds are dated and dirty, bathroom and shower were very small and moldy, and large carpenter ants everywhere outside of the room. That being said, check in was easy and staff was attentive and communicated well. Sadly, there just aren’t many other options in Southport so will probably be forced to stay here again during an annual business trip. The place is in need of a complete overhaul and update.

Great location. Easy check in. Off street parking. Older unit but modern conveniences.

The room was comfortable and clean. The motel is classic 60/70's- drive up to the room . The owners have maintained the premises and tried to keep the nostalgia from the era.

I was in Room #1. The bedroom was spacious, well-lit, clean, simply and tastefully decorated. TV worked well. The climate control was not very clear but the room was comfortable enough. I had a good sleep. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS ROOM OR THIS MOTEL FOR PEOPLE WITH MOBILITY ISSUES OR RELATED DISABILITIES. There is no front desk and I never saw any staff during my stay (@29 hours overnight). Communication is, apparently, entirely by text. if you don't have a smart phone you're out of luck. I phoned and Emailed from home a few days ahead of time and did get helpful responses, plus a handwritten welcome message when I arrived. On arrival I fortunately found a vacant parallel parking space in front of my room. However, I dared not move my car from the space because it's not reserved for my room, and parking seems to be at a premium. I saw no handicapped spaces indicated anywhere on the premises. In front of my room, there is a roughly 9-10" step up from the parking pavement to the walk in front of the room, and I had to reposition my car close enough that I could boost myself up to the walk. I saw no other steps, no ramp, no handrails anywhere. The bathroom is clean but tiny. (Photo misleads.) The toilet is in a recess about 24" wide. I could use it standing, but I was afraid to sit on it because there were no handgrips or other assistance for standing. Shower @ 24x30" -- I passed on using it. Not friendly for disabled people. My mistake. Won't repeat.

Stayed in the suite. Very roomy and well appointed. Convenient location. They did a good job of modernizing an old motel.

We really loved this renovated motel! Very convenient location, walkable to everything we wanted to do. Great customer service too!

Great location but room small

The Inn at Southport was in the simplest of words, An Authentic Representation of How Safe, Sweet, and Supportive the Southport Community truly is. From the moment we began the check-in process the staff went above and beyond to ensure that our stay with The Inn was one of great importance and remembrance. The rooms were spacious and clean. The location is centralized in Southport and allows for easy trips to the "must-see's & must do's" within the City of Southport. And if you're a movie buff you can't miss the cool opportunity to stay at Steve Buscemi's Motel from the film, "Domestic Disturbance."

The Host was ever helpful and accommodating. Basic hotel and clean and quiet Enjoyed our stay!

Great stay. Management is very accommodating and responsive. We will stay again.

The staff here was extremely organized and friendly. I had an issue with the toilet in my room and at 3:00 am helped me with this. They also assisted me in getting a unit with more room for us. Love this place.

Great customer service!

Granddaughter and I were going to do a quick trip but after being here decided to stay another day. Have enjoyed staying here. It's so convenient to everything.

Cute little retro motel with a lot of personal touches. A handwritten note.. a text from the hotel to make sure everything was ok and asking if we needed anything. The aroma 360 in the room was also a nice touch. The inn was walking distance from everything. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Very cute! Clean and convenient location

Easy parking, walkable to everything downtown Southport. Staff were very accommodating.

Very quaint inn and very personable owners. Nice location. But for the size of the room and bathroom and no breakfast the price was way to high.
