"What a wonderful hotel! Friendly and attentive staff, super comfortable beds, roomy suites, convenient location and budget friendly. Breakfast was decent, with yogurt, fruit, cereal, juice and coffee all available virtually from 6:30 to early afternoon. A waffle iron and frozen breakfast sandwiches/ microwave were the only hot breakfast options, but that is likely because of staff and space limitations. Not a deal breaker for us, as we’d definitely book here again if we return to Emerald Isle."
