Bask Hotel at Big Rock Landing

10/10 Excellent

"This place is a must stay! The room was facing the harbor and it was relaxing to sit on the balcony watching the boats come and go! Loved the way the room was set up with the queen beds separated by the little kitchen area and bathroom. The staff at the front desk was super friendly and helpful! The bask is located within walking distance of plenty of things to do from shopping, restaurants and enjoying a walk by the water, excellent location! I will be staying here again the next time going to Morehead City and will be recommending the bask!"
