Hampton Inn Elizabeth City

8/10 Good
"This was a nice hotel. The breakfast was great and the staff helpful and personable. The main concern was the air conditioning which didn’t really cool and control the humidity. Otherwise, turning left into the hotel was a traffic hazard with oncoming traffic and no turn lane."

8/10 Good
"Although we believe some details around the property, pool, and landscaping could be improved, our overall stay was relaxing and enjoyable. Clean and nicely decorated rooms, lovely beach and pools, and mostly quiet location. The games in the upstairs lobby area need updated- the pieces are missing from most! Also loved the complementary morning coffee…just wished it would start closer to 6:30am rather than 7am."

"The place was nice. Easy beach access. Pools were nice. Everything was within walking distance. Only downside was the last 5 miles was back up for up to an hour."

Quality Inn Elizabeth City near University

10/10 Excellent
"Staff were efficient, friendly and professional. Check-in took less than a minute. Room was clean and the entire hotel was quite nice, however the shower floor and refrigerator shelves had perma-stains that were no big deal, just a little unsightly. Pool and workout room were both very nice and well maintained. Breakfast was about what anyplace offers: Juice, coffee, cereal & milk, and waffle batter. For the price it was definitely well worth it. Would recommend highly so long as your not looking for luxury."
