Deciding at the last minute to extend our Memorial Day Weekend trip to the Wilmington area, we reserved a Sunday night room at Drifter's Reef. Colorful, clean, kitschy registration/lobby area. The super friendly woman, Shorty, at the front desk was awesome, speedy and clearly busy. Well, it was M-day weekend. Small but nice enough pool for a budget motel by... more
