The staff were friendly and prompt to greet us upon check-in; the lobby is large and tidy. The rooms are well kept and spacious. We chose a suite room with a water view and weren't disappointed. It was super nice with a full kitchen and large living room in addition to a spacious room and bathroom. Beautiful views and nice size balconies round out the experience. Only two things quickly to note: 1) The balconies are lovely, but we had a weird experience with little finches getting caught between the concrete of the balcony edge and the gap between the clear plexiglass. We ended up rescuing 2 birds in the same morning, so hoping that doesn't happen frequently. Poor birds. 2) The breakfast is a bit sparse and comes off as somewhat cheap. Lovely to have it delivered to your room, but the portions were super tiny and pretty sparse overall. I would've preferred a traditional continental breakfast. Minor quibble but ultimately does matter in guest satisfaction overall. Overall a really nice hotel, good location and very clear with a few quirks.

Our choice of parking and waling to the 6 bars was a smart idea. :) The Bask's location can not be beat if you need to be in downtown Morehead city. We had a great check-in experience and were able to park in the lot 3 hours before official time. Our room was on the 7th floor and overlooked the water. It gave us a great view of the intercoastal waterway and Atlantic Beach. It came with a small kitchen that we did not use except for the coffee maker. The room was clean and met our needs. As others have said the breakfast was less than ideal. We ordered the night before and it came to our room at the appointed time. Both of us ordered yogurt and neither of us got what we ordered. My "Blue Marlin-Bask Signature" breakfast was OK but the avocado cream cheese sauce was nothing more than a small cup of cream cheese with very little avocado on top. The assorted muffins were 2 muffins that may have come from Costco. Adequate, but nothing special. My partner ordered a custom sandwich which was nothing memorable and she did not eat it. In addition to her missing yogurt, she was missing banana bread with no substitution. Lucky that she ordered milk because there were no coffee fixings (sweetener, cream, etc..) of any kind for the Keurig. Would we come back? Sure, if we needed to stay in Morehead City but we would skip the breakfast and walk up to the Big Rock Cafe (formerly Grumpys) for a real breakfast.

After about an hour after lightning it, the room was filled with smoke, the alarm went off and had to open the door to our porch and the entry door. I would suggest a chimney sweep as there are probably birds nests among other things that would clog up the flu. The bathroom light and fan quit working for about an hour on our third morning. Breakfast was very good with fresh muffins, fresh orange juice and good coffee. Overall I would give the property and staff

The staff at the front desk were very friendly and helpful during my stay. I stayed in a 2nd-floor waterfront room again, and although I didn't use the balcony as much as I had in summer, the views out the windows were still lovely, and I got to see a few sunsets. My room was large and had a king-sized bed, a couch, a table with two chairs, a good-sized flat-screen TV, a refrigerator, a microwave, and a coffeemaker. A dehumidifier was in the room, but it was less humid this time of year, so it didn't need to be emptied. Shampoo, soap and lotion were provided. The products were good quality, and I remembered to bring my own conditioner, and I am not sure why it isn't provided. I was pleased that the wifi was working on this trip, as that has been an issue on each of my previous visits. The tv lineup also had more selection. They may have switched providers for more reliable service. The heater in the room kept the room hot, it got a little too hot at times and it was just set on 63 but that made the room closer to 75. The lowest the wall unit went was 58. I couldn't find a way to shut off the ceiling fan. The bathroom could have used more attention with the cleaning. The showerhead had a lot of buildup and didn't appear to have been cleaned for months; black mold on the shower tiles and the floor could use a cleaning. It could use a deep cleaning or remodel, as the toilet was outdated and used a lot of water. Breakfast was served between 7:30 and 9:30. You could get tea or coffee, OJ, and a bagel or yogurt. It came fast this visit on the days I called for it. I left early on my last day, so I wasn't there for breakfast. They used to include the yogurt too. With the high room prices here, I hope the bathrooms are updated and cleaned, and that the breakfast options improve.

Check-in was quick and easy, and valet parking was incredibly convenient, especially at only $15 per day, which is totally worth it. Our room was clean, modern, and well maintained, with a beautiful view of the water. It was exactly what we were hoping for. We also ate at the hotel restaurant and were impressed with both the quality of the food and the atmosphere. Overall, this hotel was a highlight of our trip. The staff, accommodations, and location all exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed our stay so much that we've already decided this will be part of our annual trip. We look forward to coming back year after year!

We were greeted by an exceptionally warm valet attendant, welcoming, efficient, and genuinely great. While we ultimately chose not to use valet service, it was reassuring to know it was available. An added convenience: a nearby charging station within easy walking distance, where we parked with ease. Our first interaction by phone set the tone for the stay. A gracious front desk associate, her name may have been Valencia or Veronica (not sure) handled our check-in and made us feel both welcomed and valued. Despite arriving slightly ahead of schedule, she graciously accommodated an early check-in, a gesture that immediately elevated the experience. The hotel itself strikes a thoughtful balance between modern refinement and coastal tradition. Natural light pours through the public spaces, lending the interiors an airy, relaxed elegance. Our room was impeccably clean and well appointed, but it was the bathroom and sweeping water views that truly stood out peaceful, restorative, and unmistakably coastal. There were occasional sounds from the hallway and a few muffled bumps from above, curious given our top-floor location, though none disrupted our rest. During the holiday bustle, we did experience a couple of unanswered calls to the front desk, but the otherwise attentive service and seasonal demands made this understandable. The grounds are beautifully maintained, and the addition of an on-site ice-skating rink offers a charming, unexpected touch especially for families. Overall, The Beaufort Hotel delivers a refined yet approachable stay, and it's one we would gladly return to.

Christina, our…read moremain point of contact, was incredibly friendly and helpful from start to finish, which really set the tone for a relaxing stay. The price was very reasonable considering the location, just a short walk (about 400 feet) to the beach. That said, be aware that the stairs down to the beach are pretty steep, so it might be a bit tricky if you're carrying a lot of gear or have mobility concerns. Our double queen room was the perfect size for two people. I could see it working for two adults and maybe two small kids, but I wouldn't recommend it for a larger group. The room stayed wonderfully cool thanks to a quiet and efficient AC, which was much appreciated during the heat wave this part of the country was experiencing during our trip. It was clean, comfortable, and had just about everything we needed. A couple small improvements like more outlets between the beds, blackout curtains, and maybe a desk or vanity in the little nook near the bathroom would've made it even better. One thing to note is that sound travels easily through the walls, so you'll likely hear folks walking by or chatting outside. It didn't ruin our stay, but it's something to be aware of. Outside, the hotel really shines. There's a patio area with a shower to rinse off after the beach, plus an outdoor lounge area with games, beach toys, umbrellas, even an outdoor kitchen setup. They also offer two bikes with gear storage for guest use, which was a nice bonus. Some of the more amazing room photos online appear to be from units renovated as part of a TV restoration series, so just be sure to check which type of room you're booking. Overall, we were really happy with our stay. For the price, location, and all the thoughtful extras, it's a great value and we'd absolutely recommend it.

The beach is a short walk connected directly through a boardwalk, we were able to leave the room barefoot and go directly to the water.
