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.

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.

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.

Overall our stay was very good. Nice room and bathroom, very good breakfast choices, helpful staff. However, the vinyl tile floor in the room was in terrible need of some serious mopping. Because the floor is a dark vinyl, it did not appear dirty, but it waa very dirty. It soiled/stained our clean socks and feet from walking on it.
