The room that we were given smelled of ammonia and was in terrible condition. There were plenty of spiders and bugs scurrying around the beds which is not surprising given how dirty the room was. The shower had no pressure whatsoever and the water intensely smelled like iron. I understand wanting to stay away from soulless chains but in this case a little bit more corporate style management and cleanliness would go a long way.

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!

It has wonderful views, beach attendants to help set up umbrellas and chairs and take them down again. All the rooms have a small fridge/freezer and 2 burner stoves in the rooms. There is free WiFi, and a great patio area where you can throw some burgers on the grill. They even have a small pool. Everyone is so nice and friendly. The one reason I don't give it 5 stars is they don't keep the lounge open past 10 pm. With no lobby there really is no other place in the evening to hang out. Now that they moved the lounge and it really isn't by any of the rooms. They should really let it stay open. This hotel isn't fancy. But it's comfortable, like wearing your favorite sweatshirt. I hope the new owners maintain that low key casual vibe.

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.

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.

Con: Dirty towels left on kitchen counter. Pro: Outdoor pools were nice. Con: Horrible soundproofing. Every single sound in next door and upstairs units was heard. Kids running, chairs scraping, raised voices and music. Also, for a no pets allowed facility, 3 dogs were on our floor. Not service animals either. The biggest dealbreaker by far was the absolute nastiness of the floors, counters, baseboards, toilet seats/lids, shower floors, dining table, chairs. Every single surface was nasty. Yes, we informed the front desk but we cleaned it ourselves, except the baseboards and glass doors. After all, we were supposed to be on vacation, not the hired help.
