Cape Lookout Lighthouse

I used to love this hotel until our recent stayed. I understand checking in is at 4:00 but since the room is ready early they can’t check us in unless we pay a $25 early check in fee.

Staff was super friendly and the rooms were pretty clean for a beachfront hotel. Things to know before booking would be if you’re booking the queen jetted tub room without the picture of the tub, the tub is in the bathroom. Room 204 (the room I had) balcony is not as private. The family balcony is right next to yours that they can basically have their heads over peeking, they did. My window opened to their balcony. Full view of just a family balcony.. But my balcony view was beautiful(besides the nosey familys kids)No smoking, not even on the balcony (this includes vapes). And the doors lock at like 8 or 9 and you have to buzz and someone will come let you in. There is parking, but it is tight. If you do not see a spot near the hotel, ask about the off site lot.
