Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 11 May 2010 rated 6 out of 10.
This hotel was fine as long as all you needed, was a place to stay the night. The bed was rock hard and the pillow was barely there. We asked for a roll away bed and there were none available. The attendant had one extra blanket to give us and no pillows. The bathroom was cramped and had a leak in the tub. If all you need is a place to sleep right off the highway then this is a suitable hotel. If you are looking for even slight upgrades you may want to stay somewhere else. We didn't even have a mini fridge or microwave.

This is a budget-friendly, family-friendly hotel. No frills here. If you need a cheap, clean place to sleep, it is sufficient. The staff is courteous and friendly. Online reservation shows rooms with microwave and mini-fridge, but not all rooms have those amenities. Be sure to ask for that if you want it. Housekeeping does a good job, though some fixtures are old, worn and slightly stained. Nice selection of channels on cable, including HBO.
Positives: The price was budget friendly.
Negatives: Photos of rooms at level I rented differed from actual room I got.
Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 20 Aug 2009 rated 1 out of 10.
Old, stained, dirty, smelly, small outdated TV, poor water pressure and nothing was good.
Positives: Cheaper than others.
Negatives: Very dirty and smelly.
Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 13 Aug 2008 rated 5 out of 10.
Good for a night or two if youre in the area.
Positives: Staff went above and beyond to help us find what we needed in the area.
Negatives: Could have used new curtains and comforter.
Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 08 Aug 2008 rated 7 out of 10.
It was very convenient and we would certainly stay there again. I believe there is a price difference between upstairs and downstairs, but, although we were moved upstairs for the non-smoking room. Little things do make a difference!
Positives: It was convenient to the places we wanted to see and very quiet.
Negatives: Our downstairs non-smoking room had not been asked--rather a smoking. The switch was upstairs, no appliances as we had requested.
Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 07 Aug 2008 rated 6 out of 10.
This is a convenient and adequate hotel. It is probably not for those looking for all the bells and whistles but it did fine and we got a good night's sleep.
Positives: It is convenient to Morehead and the beach cause way.
Negatives: The comforter on one bed had sand on it.
Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 28 Jul 2008 rated 6 out of 10.
I have no objection to the motel being old as long as it is clean and it was clean. The shower was the worst hotel/motel shower ever in my experience. It appears there is no shower head and the spray is all over the place and not strong. The lower level room initially assigned had a very musty odor that was bothersome and the air conditioner was very noisy. The location is fine for business travelers but it is not on the beach for the vacationer. The quality of the breakfast offering was low. Therefore to me, considering these things, the star rating and price seemed higher than it should be.
Positives: Hotel staff moved us to a better room upon request, one that did not smell musty and shower worked better.
Negatives: Initial room smelled very musty, air conditioner very noisy, shower heads are inadequate.
Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 03 Apr 2008 rated 1 out of 10.
The room had drug straws on the floor, pubic hairs all over the bathroom, a nasty soap-ring in the tub and we weren't offered any assistance to help clean the room. We were promised a credit for one night stay if we would stay the other night and switch rooms but when we checked out, the credit was not there and we were told that we wouldn't receive it because we chose to stay at this one star hotel. the manager asked what we expected; the Comfort Inn? I wouldn't recommend this motel to anyone!
Positives: Nothing.
Negatives: Dirty room, horrible staff.
Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 29 Aug 2007 rated 7 out of 10.

Positives: Clean, affordable, met expectations
Negatives: Desk clerk at check in was very friendly, different clerk at check out was rude.

Not a bad place. The location was good and the staff was nice. I didn't get as much bang for my buck as I thought I would. I would say on a whole, it was average.
