Liked convenience to Morehead City public boat ramp. There was nobody on site to assist with check in issues. The envelope with my name on the front had the paper work for someone else inside and the assigned room had only one bed when 2 were ordered and paid for. Someone eventually came to fix the confusion.

It was a decent price. But we never got new towels or wash clothes for a 4 night stay. The sheets on the bed as they said were clean but “bleach stained”. The carpet was gross. But it worked for the time being because no where else had openings and there was a no refund unless you do it 2 weeks before you go.

ok, but could be better
clean rooms & quiet, convenient area BUT the A/C was in back room so the front area was HOT. The front & back windows were unlocked when we arrived. No TV in the bedroom either. It was ok for a couple of nights I suppose. I would recommend adding some sort of storage to the shower. There was nowhere to your shampoo, soaps, washcloths, etc in the shower & also recommend a TV in bedroom.

Not good at all. The only A/C was in the back room. So the kitchen area stayed extremely warm. Bright light shined through the window at night with no curtain. Pictures on Hotel.com did not match the room when walked through the door. Beds were extremely uncomfortable (could feel mattress springs).

The room was non smoking yet smelled like an ashtray. The ac didn’t work and the window was broken. The room was also in the back of the building so we felt unsafe. We didn’t even stay our 2nd night we go there packed our things and left in the night refusing to sleep in those conditions
