That is great customer service. And when we checked out the morning desk clerk was also very kind. I must admit I was pleasantly surprised by our experience."

"Service was terrible.  Check in was at 4:00 pm and we were still waiting to get into our room at 4:30 with multiple other people.  They finally put us in a different room and the must have forgotten to change the other person’s room because someone else tried to get in our room with a card key!  Thank god I had flipped the inside lock.  This apparently happened to another person as well. Checking reviews later we learned this a chronic problem with this hotel.   While sitting in the lobby waiting we witnessed multiple customers complaining to the front desk about various issues.  Also there was a hidden charge of $20 per day to park.  This needs to be fixed on your website as it says parking is free. We will never return to this hotel."

Overall the experience was quite nice. The room was good, bathroom good, tv and wifi good. The only thing lacking was I don’t think there was enough staff to handle the breakfast crowd. Seating was inadequate, food was out of stock, only one guy seemed to be trying to keep things in order, but he was overwhelmed. The coffee ran out. Milk ran out. Yogurt ran out. That was disappointing.

Our stay at the Wyndham Cape Carteret near Emerald Isle was great.  We were close enough to all the Emerald Isle shops and attractions yet just a couple miles away from the bustling highway.  The managers were friendly, polite, helpful, and we enjoyed the continental breakfast.  We plan to stay again in our next visit.

The room was very clean. There were nice upgrades... laminate flooring, shower stall ( no tub). The bed was comfortable and the pillows were nice and fluffy. The window shade made the room very dark ( great for this daytime sleeper). Had NO issues at all.
