John Yancey Oceanfront Inn Reviews

Review Score: 10

I like the John Yancey Hotel. It is a great location, easy access to many nice restaurants and places like Jockeys Ridge and Jeanette's Pier. It is nice to see a pool with 8ft deep end. Poole is well maintained. Boardwalk access to the beach is very nice. I would like to see the ocean-side facing part of the buildings roof areas repaired. There were a couple of areas that detracted from the overall niceness of everywhere else. We enjoyed the stay and certainly would like to stay here again.

The location is excellent. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was very spacious and had a large tub/shower. The beach was less than a minute walk. There was a very nice sitting area which was covered to sit and watch the sunrise/sunset. The only negative is the bathroom appeared to have mold growing on the ceiling.

Hotel was clean and location was good. We enjoyed the breakfast, staff was friendly and attentive. Only quams were unrelated to the hotel itself. The area is extremely busy, restaurants near by have extremely long wait times many do not accept reservations. Attractions are crowded. If you want to spend most of your time at the beach and pool, this is great a great choice. If you like going out this area is very frustrating and kind of boring. Hotel makes you sign a waiver if you leave early they won't refund anything. Probably a good idea because we wanted to... Would stay again but probably only two or three days.
