We were looking for a quiet, safe hotel while touring from Maryland to North Carolina. Expedia recommended Hampton Inn in Morehead City, and what a great recommendation it turned out to be! Wonderful room and so quiet. Just loved it!

Lovely updated boutique beachfront hotel. We enjoyed the nice amenities, fluffy towels and well done room decor. It’s off season so the staff was not as available but we had a great time. Can’t wait to use the new pool too. Thanks again. We look forward to returning.

Location, Location, Location- The location is perfect. There were some things we didn't love about the place. Parking should be included with the price, It is not. All of the wheels on the luggage carts are flat and will not roll properly. The card to help us get into and out of the parking lot would not work properly. One of us had to get out and walk to the front several time for the valet to make the arm work. All of these things are not terrible, but they were very frustrating.

Stayed at Carolina Beach for two days and found it much more relaxing, but of course Wilmington had more places to visit.

Was going to add photos but after trying relentlessly for over an hour I kept getting a message unable to complete and got kicked back to the beginning of the survey so after countless times, I give up

Went to the boardwalk and ate at a restaurant. Sorry service, but good food. Rode a few rides, it was cute like a county fair. An odd note, though, our friends saw a man literally fall from the swings ride, and strangely there was no response from the ride operator. No call to paramedic either, the man simply got up, his head was bloody and walked away. Strange.
