Top Cape Lookout National Seashore Hotel Reviews

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"

Blackbeard's Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Front desk assistant, Cynthia ( I believe was her name) was beyond sweet,helpful and such a pleasure to speak with. We came over last night (9/27) to be able to catch the Ferry to Cedar Island at 7:30am Monday . When I spoke with her she as so sweet, made sure to ask if we needed names of restaurants, asked if we were ok after going through all the winds and high water from the Nor'Easter.Just genuinely a kind hearted person."

Bask Hotel at Big Rock Landing

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at Bask Hotel at Big Rock Landing. Our waterfront master suite was spacious and well appointed, with a comfortable bed, plenty of pillows, a sitting area, and a lovely balcony overlooking the water. There was even room to set up the full size ironing board in a separate area and the bathroom had plenty of shelving for a longer stay. We also enjoyed the calm, mostly adult atmosphere. The hotel feels classy and is far enough from the nightlife that we weren’t disturbed at night. The only thing to know for a longer stay is that, without housekeeping service (it is upon request), you may need to empty your own trash and pick up fresh towels. That was OK with us. We’d rather leave all our things out without housekeeping coming in. The staff was always accommodating when we asked, so it was a minor inconvenience. We’d happily stay again and already made future reservations."

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."

The Anchorage Inn and Marina

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay. We checked in late and left early so we did not have any interaction with the staff. Room was clean and comfortable. Close to ferry. We enjoyed Ocracoke."

A Place at the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Decent and easy access to the beach"

Inlet Inn NC

10/10 Excellent

"Great location in Beaufort for walking in the downtown area where there are shops, restaurants and lots of history. The grounds are kept tidy and there is a shady courtyard with seating for outdoor relaxing. They offer a variety of unique room types depending on your needs. You can see the setup choices on their website. My room was spacious with high ceilings and a fan to circulate air. Clean and inviting. The cooling and heating unit was easy to operate and accurate. Complimentary breakfast is available and brought to your room. Well managed. Locally owned and operated."

Pony Island Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our suite with the kitchenette. Everything was very clean and the kitchen was stocked with the essentials for cooking light meals. The couch could use an update, but was adequate. The coffee packets provided were not great, but not an issue. The Pony Island Restaurant that is adjacent to the hotel has great coffee and our breakfast was delicious. It was so nice to have that just a few steps away! We loved the pool! It was so clean, peaceful, and inviting, and pool towels are provided. The staff was friendly, and helpful with suggestions for restaurants. Overall it was a great find, and we highly recommend it!"
