The hotel was attractive and seemed well maintained. You could tell it was an old property. My daughter and I experienced problems with WiFi connectivity. We were constantly having to go back and sign on. We found it to be annoying when streaming our favorites. Paying for parking was another surprise when checking out. Not a major issue though. Other than that, I would probably visit again & probably recommend.

Enjoyed the oceanfront room. Great to have pool towels and beach chairs supplied. Pretty outside area on the oceanfront. Surprised by lack of a chair or couch and just a bed in the room. They did supply some chairs once asked! Super small bathroom with just a shower and no tub and tight squeeze to close door. Likely the first hotel I have seen without a safe as well. Nicely maintained grounds and helpful staff. Overall enjoyed our stay while hurricane Erin was brewing. Great to get away!

Our room was clean. The ocean front view was wonderful. Hotel furnished beach chairs and umbrellas. I thought charging for parking was ridiculous since there is no where else to park. The complimentary coffee in the lobby was removed at 7am, then you had to pay 3.00for a cup in the restaurant

This was a great place to stay right on the beach. The was sooo comfy and the view is outstanding. It is a little outdated but staff is friendly and so close to the beach. You do have to drive to everything. Great place to stay.

Check in

Its was good, we were told we could check in possibly early and it could be an additional charge that we were good with paying so we arrived early and the room wasnt even ready until 4:15, check in time is 4 and check out is 11, but other than that, very clean, restaurant was 5 stars, before we go back we will definitely make sure about the the room check in

The hotel is nice, the room doors dont shut all the way unless you really put some effort to shut it, easy to not realize your door has been accessible from the outside. We had to wait an hour and a half after our supposed to be check in time after deiving 5 hours to get there, to actually get to check in. Which they did refund our parking pass for that inconvenience. Walls are paper thin!! Workers were very nice, the food at the hotel restaurant was great also.

I have stayed at this property numerous times over the years starting with when it was The Clam Digger. It was then bought and renovated. The rooms and lobby were upgraded. Chairs and umbrellas were available for a cost of $25 for 2 chairs and an umbrella. The cost was reasonable. This was when the name was The Inn at Pine Knoll Shores. The restaurant was still available. This visit was now under the name of The Crystal Coast Oceanfront Hotel. Apparently the hotel was acquired about 9 months ago. PROS: Rooms were clean and mostly upgraded. A small coffee machine, microwave and refrigerator w/a tiny freezer was available. It was a balcony front room. Beds were 2 doubles and were comfortable. Bedding was adequate. Clean towels were available at the front desk. There was an ice machine on our floor. There was sodas and water and snacks available on the main floor, although expensive. The pool and hot tub were nice. CON: There is now a parking fee of $19.99 daily. Chairs and umbrellas were first come first serve. They were put out at 9:00. By 9:30 on a nice day they were all taken. There were plenty of lounge chairs available around the pool. They were not able to keep up with clean towels. The tiki bar is a private company separate from the hotel and did not open some days. The restaurant was also a private company separate from the hotel. It was pricy, but the food was very good and the staff was very helpful. Our TV was an old RCA and didn’t work well.
