Independent hotels in Harkers Island, North Carolina

"Check-in was a nightmare. One staff member and 8 people waiting. The keys would not open the door. The doors had been recently painted and seriously stick. No toilet paper. Only three marginal pillows on a king bed for two people. Only two towels. Staff was helpful when they could be. Otherwise, a nice hotel with great pools, etc. Biggest irritant was a $35 charge for parking!"

"The ad on hotels.com showed that valet parking available but it wasn’t clear that almost ALL of the parking is valet and if you don’t get one of the few spots that are free or park in the street, you are forced to do valet parking. So plan on paying a minimum of $15 for overnight and more if you are staying longer. Overall the staff was nice, but the lady checking us didn’t have a welcome demeanor. The showers are only half enclosed and do not have a full door or curtain. Otherwise we ensure our stay very much and the breakfast was top notch compared to most other hotels."

"Clean room, kind staff, worthwhile stay"

"Bask was amazing! The room was clean and spacious. The staff was wonderful. I will definitely be back again. Thank you so much! Being next to the water front allowed me to wake up and take a good stroll."

"Always amazing "

"Parking was a bit of a challenge, but other than that, I loved the fact that the rooms are worth the money. The front staff was really sweet. It was small but had everything perfectly for a couple looking to stay at the beach on a budget. "

"Overall experience was excellent. Parking and breakfast were great"

"The unit and amenities were as described. Some amenities were being repaired as expected with off season. The problem was at check out. I got a call as we were about an hour back home. We left and realized we had the two room keys with us, which was my fault so I turned around went back because I was going to be charged. I got there and the front desk worker said he needed the 6 rubber wrist band (usually a souvenir) or I would be charged a lot for them. I said 3 bands were on the table in the room and the other 3 were probably halfway home. He said I could stay another 1-2 hours for the cleaners to check for the bracelets. After I explained that I wasn’t told I was responsible for returning what we though were souvenirs, he pulled a signed paper from behind the desk that said 2 key cards and 6 brackets saying “you signed this”. That paper was not in my packet given to me for the stay. Since I couldn’t stay until cleaners eventually checked for my bands, I was charged for all of the bands and never heard about a refund for the ones that were left in the room. "

"This is one of my favorite places to stay. It’s so quaint, clean and the staff is so friendly. The warm muffins and coffee delivered to your room in the morning to enjoy on the balcony overlooking the water is a huge plus as well. "
