Convenient & Clean
Overall good. Only one roll of toilet paper for four adults wasn’t efficient. Accessible room did have great bathroom with rails for toilet and roll in shower with seat. However beds were too high for handicapped person and seating was not sufficient either. Just a rolling desk chair & a chair that dropped 3-4 inches when you set in it. Over all it was convenient & clean.

Delightful stay
We loved the 24-hour coffee service. The front desk staff were very friendly and professional. We had muffins one morning; they were fresh. The pool was delightful. It would be nice to have umbrellas at the tables by the pool.

Solid hotel with a late night crowd
We were in Morehead City for the weekend. The good was that the staff was very friendly and helpful. The lobby, snack area and breakfast were very clean and organized. The not so good was there was a lack of quiet hours both nights. Maybe thin walls and a lively crowd, but there was a loud crowd on our floor both nights that kept it going till nearly 4 am.

Gross
The floors, oh my gosh, the floors, they were the most horrendous condition. There were spots, stains, spills, and drips of stuff from lord knows how many guests ago. It was hard to get comfortable knowing how disgusting they were. We noticed the daily cleaning crew cart never had mops or buckets but they certainly should be on every cart for a proper cleaning because our feet were BLACK

We enjoyed the staff they were very kind and accommodating but the breakfast was not good, the bedding had some questionable marks on them. I will say the rooms were very spacious and had plenty of extra pillows which was nice and the beds were actually comfortable. It was just rough for a $200 a night room.

Great place to stay
We had a wonderful time in Morehead City. It had been over 30 years since we had been there for my husband and I. Everyone at the hotel were amazing and super friendly. Great place to stay and they allow your "fur" babies to join on your vacation.
The only issue we found, the floors need to be mopped in the rooms. The room overall, VERY clean, however the floors were not. We will for sure come back and stay again soon.
