Always clean comfortable rooms with high quality bathroom fixtures and lighting. Exceptional breakfast with hot and cold choices, fresh fruit, and nondairy options. Karen is just super! Cookies, drinks, and fruit in the lobby too! We always enjoy our stays at BW Emerald Isle. Nicolay is always welcoming and helpful, so glad to see him at the front desk. He deserves a raise!! Thanks again, BW Emerald Isle.

Great service overall. The person at check-in was very friendly. The breakfast room was way too small and cramped. This should be expanded so people can eat conmfortably.

I had a standard King bed room at full price ($330) and was put in a room right by the elevator. At 6:30am staff started emptying trash cans by the elevator making a horrible racket. It wouldn’t have been so bad had the person in the room above me hadn’t been pacing the floor starting at 4:30am. I heard both footsteps and floor creaking for a good hour. Checkin was fine and the receptionist was courteous and helpful. I did the pre check but it still took 10-15 minutes to check in. My room was dark because shrubbery outside blocked daylight. The woman who managed breakfast service was delightful. Breakfast was fine. There are much nicer places to stay in Sidney at that price range.

A Surprisingly Lovely Hotel.

We had an absolutely lovely stay for just one night. The room was spacious, nicely decorated, and clean. The beds were very comfortable with soft sheets. There was a small fridge and a coffee maker. The breakfast was very good, with hot options as well as cold. Also lots of parking and easy walk through a beautiful town down to the beach and shore walk.
