Cute and clean retro motel
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!

I Would Not Recommend
The room was tidy, but not clean. There was dust and mold on the baseboards. The room didn’t feel finished. There were screws and an electrical box, where the light had been removed above the bathroom sink, that should have been spackled before painting. The bed was hard, but comfy. However, one bed squeaked like the frame was broken every time my husband rolled over. There was very little water pressure. It took forever for the water to get hot in the shower, and it only stayed hot for about 5 minutes. By the time my husband finished with his shower, it was ice cold. I would not stay here again, and I would not recommend this place to anyone.

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

Cutest place to stay in Southport. Wonderful staff and location. So close to everything. We come in by boat and rent a golf cart from Coastal which is right next door.
