What guests think

At Econo Lodge Crystal Coast, many guests highlight friendly, accommodating staff and generally clean, basic rooms at a budget price, with a convenient location for the beach and waterways, though the older property shows its age and experiences can vary.

Reviews frequently mention housekeeping inconsistencies and occasional pests, including roaches, along with stained linens, mold, or missing towels. Exterior areas and stairways appear worn or under construction at times, and the simple continental breakfast ranges from okay to very limited. Expect a basic budget stay where value competes with inconsistent maintenance and cleanliness.

Thank goodness I'll never have to stay there again! Cheapest place in Morehead, and it shows. They are doing some outdoor remodeling, so it will look better from yhe outside. Note-get an upstairs room.

Should be condemned. No handicap spaces, nor elevator, but put handicapped person on second floor. Pillars outside are strapped down. Staircase separating at the top. Very unsafe. Flooring in room with significant gaps in walking space. Shower head was held together with a dirty wash cloth. I could go on… but it’s easier to just say the place should be condemned. Definitely was not worth $113. More like $13.

Didnt have a blanket on one of the beds. No lamp shade on one of the lamps. They didnt tell us the lobby was being worked on so the Continental breakfast was ridiculous. Bathroom room wall was filthy, I felt like someone had pooped on the door. I wiped off some but I told them but they had to be told twice before someone did something about it.

Even though our room was nonsmoking there was two cigarette burns in the blanket and one in the sheet right where my face would have been. Ended up turning the sheet around to sleep. No facial tissue. Sink and shower drained really slow. Visable mold and rusting of anything metal. Check in person was not freindly at all.

No doorknob on bathroom door. Bathroom door was busted into. Room for 4 and get 2 towels and 1 wash cloth. Towels, washcloth, and floor mat were dirty. There was mold on the shower curtain. Beds were old and cheap. Outside was nasty. I will be contacting the Health Dept. in Morehead City!!! This place needs to be shut down if they are going to keep being bad. Don't go here!

This hotel is by far the worst hotel i stepped foot on. The condition and cleanliness were so bad, my wife and I made new reservation with another hotel and immediately walked out of the hotel. The toilet seat was broken. Mold on the shower curtain. The floor was dirty. The bed linen had burn holes and stains. It was discusting. Of course, they would not give a refund.

Motel is fairly clean. 2 girls in the room next to ours fought and screamed all the time. one would go out to their vehicle and play the radio wide open. people from other rooms were stepping out of their rooms and asking them to be quiet. managment did nothing to stop it. housekeeping didnt service the room daily, had to reuse towels. went to front desk to get additional towels and bath clothes. hair dryer in room didnt work, said they didnt have anymore and was nothing they could do. wife went and bought a new one. stayed as this same place last year, had great service. employees can make a big difference in deciding whether to stay their again. current staff doesn't care

When checking in the service was friendly and professional. When leaving that morning I asked the young lady if there was coffee, when she finally put her phone down, she replied “I haven’t made any if there is any it has been there all night”. Granted I was leaving early (5am). Then walking out the main door someone had vomited all over right in front of the door way. Of course, I stepped in it and that was a great new smell in my truck. Someone could have at least sprayed it off.
