Crystal Coast Oceanfront Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Food and drinks are restaurant were amazing, large balcony with beautiful views. Pool and room were clean. Only downside was the internet was very intermittent, but good reason to out down the phone and enjoy!!"

Atlantic Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We were on the first level with people above us so it was a little noisy. Great amenities! Great location with east beach access!"

Hampton Inn Morehead City

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient, great breakfast, and backs to the sound. Get a room with a view of the sound and has a pool. They had a couple water leaks that they were working on not an issue."

Hotel Alice At Atlantic Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Love staying here. The staff is always excellent"

The Beacon

10/10 Excellent

"The Beacon is well-priced and a great value! Nothing fancy, but this is a vintage style motel with tons of charm. Like vintage motels, not a lot of room for belongings - a well-placed shelf would be helpful in the bathroom for vanity items. But, it is exactly as expected - small, charming, and perfect for a get-away to the beach. Very nice beach location with easy access (boardwalk through the dunes ) and a nice observation deck at the end of the boardwalk, before descending the stairs to the beach. At the motel, there is a very nice and large outdoor gathering area for relaxing and hanging out in the evenings, suitable for larger groups and also small private seating areas. The room was updated recently and clean, with a very comfortable bed. A few restaurants and stores are within walking distance, but the location is nicely suited in a slower paced section of the island."
