Holiday Inn Resort Lumina on Wrightsville Beach

One of the pleasures of staying in a hotel is having a clean room and at least getting a daily room cleaning (if not twice daily). At the beach you can't help but track in a lot of sand even if you use the water sprayers outside the pool. In addition, two tiny trash receptacles are in the rooms which start to overflow quickly. The hotel owners are cheap and don't want to spend the money to hire enough maids. They wouldn't have a problem hiring staff if they paid them adequately. ICE and immigration status is also an excuse since lack of housekeeping staff has been an issue since the new owners acquired the hotel in 2020. At that time, they pretended it was a COVID issue and instituted a text system. A maid will knock on your door (not consistently) and offer towels. But if you want a full clean you must contact the front desk. And then you wait an entire day until late in the afternoon for someone to come in and clean. The hotel's on site staff is uniformly friendly, polite and try to be helpful. It's not their fault that they are working for cheap owners. The "resort fee" is also ridiculous since basic services like room cleaning are not provided.

We stayed Fri-Sun and thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Awesome place to stay!! Very nice place to stay with a family vacation. Pools, hot tubs, hammocks, food, alcohol, smoke free, clean, ocean front and friendly staff. Tammy - Shift supervisor at breakfast buffet was amazing and helpful!

Beautiful hotel with excellent customer service

Pool and proximity to the beach was great. Restaurants were great. Everything you need is right there. Will definitely stay again.

Nice weekend getaway Very nice resort. Rooms are small but we were hardly there. We enjoyed the pool and the beach. Loved the beach town and will be back.
