Unpleasant stay

There was unexpected construction crews onsite. Friendly crew but they started early. It would have been nice to know before arriving. There was a family with an autistic child staying above us. I understand the family's challenge but the child ran and jumped all night! My granddaughter was terrified the ceiling was going to fall on her and she couldn't fall asleep. I did notify the owners. They apologized but it would have been appreciated if management had made an effort to move us to another room. The kid was still jumping at 5AM so we decided to pack up and leave out of pure exhaustion! Other than the terrible experience, the room itself was clean and comfortable.

Happy Hippy Coffee is 2 doors down and top notch. Pier is right there, as well as a couple places to eat. I have foot problems, so this was perfect for me. Just a short walk to everything I could want. There is a convenience store with fresh fruit diagonal from the motel. And bicycle rentals were delievered to my door!

This place needs tons of up keep. The hotel room stinks and has rugs which is super impractical for a beach hotel. The beds are super uncomfortable. The bathroom was very unkept and smelly. Overall bad experience but the beach was beautiful.

Stairs were very narrow, no dishes or silverware. Why have a microwave and refrigerator without them. had to ask for more towels every day. there was four of us in a two bedroom. When we turned in towels to be replaced, they only gave us 2 on one day and only 3 on next day. Should have gotten same amount they picked up. Had to ask for more both times. For the price, I was disapointed. DO NOT recommend.

Decent stay by Kure Beach.

Fairly standard motel by the seashore with a decent view. The atmosphere is hospitable, provides easy access to the beach as well as a pool. Perfectly livable with clean towels, though there is some very apparent wear-and-tear suggesting the property isn't maintained very often.
