Hampton Inn Morehead City

6/10 Okay

"Hotel is a bit dated, breakfast was below average with very limited healthy options, but biggest issue was the noise. Lots of contractors staying here started leveling from 04:30 and then it was constant banging of doors till 07:00"

Oceanview Inn

8/10 Good

"PRO- Big room, super close to the pier and shopping. Awesome staff. CON- Dirty floor in first room. Had to vigorously slam door to get it closed and then extremely hard to open. Room was pretty beat up. We moved to a second room because of the mentioned problems. The second room was also big and the floor was a little cleaner, but I did have to sweep it. And the door did shut much better. In all, I understand some of the conditions at this property because of its very close proximity to the ocean, but it could use a lot repairs and maintenance"

Crystal Coast Oceanfront Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We booked a weekend stay at Crystal Coast Oceanfront Hotel and wanted to leave a fair, positive review. The property was clean, the staff was fantastic, and our room was absolutely spotless. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, helpful, and professional, and the oceanfront location is beautiful. We did realize pretty quickly that the overall atmosphere was not the right fit for what we were personally looking for. This is more of a lively, family-friendly beach hotel, with a tiki bar, pool activity, music, and entertainment. For many guests, that may be exactly what makes it a great beach weekend. For us, we were looking for a quieter, more relaxed coastal getaway, so after about four hours we decided to head home rather than stay the weekend. That was simply a matter of personal preference, not a reflection of the cleanliness, service, or quality of the property. I would absolutely recommend it for guests looking for an active, family-friendly oceanfront hotel with onsite energy and entertainment. It just wasn’t the right match for the quiet weekend we had in mind."

Sand Dollar Motel

6/10 Okay

"We stayed in room 7. The AC is plugged into a converter which gets so hot, it trips. So the AC turns off, the the converter turns back on so the AC turns back on and makes a beep. That goes on every 10 mins or so u til the converter completely overheats and shuts everything down for an undetermined amount of time. After leaving the AC on all day while we were gone, we came back to a room that was hotter than the outside temperature and it smelled so bad. At this point it was too late to do anything so we suffered and sweat all night. I went down to the beach in the morning, came back to get stuff together and check out, and again the room was hotter than outside. The only good thing I can say about this room is the beds are comfortable. The towels are the standard child sized super scratchy ones."
