I have started this review multiple times and just do not think I can convey just how fantastic this hotel is. If you’ve done any investigating on this area, you will know that Cape lookout Lighthouse is known as the diamond lady and in my opinion this hotel is a diamond in its own, right. Built in 1975 she has recently undergone a major renovation. While it is obvious the renovation is not complete I don’t believe you will find a better option. Clean beaches, beautiful views in very close proximity to multiple eateries. The staff is extremely accommodating and friendly, and we could not have asked for more. At the time of our stay, the restaurant was not open due to construction delays. However, we had the privilege of meeting the chef at the indoor bar area. We cannot wait for our next trip to taste his food. If you were looking for a quiet getaway, this is the perfect place. If you don’t understand, sitting on the beach and enjoying the surf and sand, it may not be your cup of tea. This is not for those that need to be commercially entertained. While this older girl has had a makeover she has a classic style and grace. Have and would 100% stay here again we would only change one thing we would have extended our stay.

Clean, Art Deco hotel with a full bar, excellent staff. Show check-in, but great front desk staff. Excellent bar tender but disappointed that the website stated a bistro and bar with small bites in the bar. However the only food was pretzels or wasabi pees. Breakfast offered in the morning. Website stated sharable plates of food in the bar but none. Rooms were clean. Hotel is a redecorated former major chain hotel so sinks and counters resemble those at Hampton Inn. Four floors. Nice views of golf course from upper floors. Pets allowed.

The hotel staff is polite. It's easy to go anywhere for sightseeing and you can play late at night. The hotel was very clean and comfortable.

We were at the Holiday Inn Express for only one night, as we drove to Morehead City to pick-up a puppy. After reading a couple of reviews that felt the hotel was less than satisfactory, we picked it due to it's ideal location for us. We were absolutely thrilled upon arrival to find that the lobby, hallways as well as our room were spotlessly clean! The hot breakfast included in the price, was more than adequate to start the morning. I am happy to share, that in our experience, the hotel was ideal as it was clean convenient and that front desk staff more than willing to help with any questions! We had an as good or better experience than in many more upscale luxury hotels we have stayed in through many years of travel.

One of the two elevators remained broke for the entire six days we were there. Our toilet was not working properly upon arrival and remained that way for the stay. The maintenance technician was very accommodating when assisting with the toilet but they were unable to get parts to fix the toilet, so we had to deal with the situation for the entire stay. The flooring in our suite needed to be replaced with sharp metal corners sticking up in the middle of the floor. We had to clean surfaces in the room upon arrival due to sticky spots on furniture tops. This hotel could use a refresh as furniture in the room appeared to be well-worn and outdated. The hotel is in a perfect location, central to many conveniences and right on the water (no beach, just a view).
