This place was not the most expensive however it was very clean and the staff were nothing but respectful and helpful. The building itself is a little dated however the location is one of the best we’ve ever had. That much makes up for a room a little bit dated. For that same price we would definitely book this room again.

This was our second visit. We would stay again. Not a deal breaker, sand is a fact at a beach, but the area rug between the beds was piled up. I was going to try to get it outside to shake it. I gave up. We used a couple hand towels to wipe the sand off our feet before getting in bed. I swept the floor a lot. My suggestion would be to remove the rug completely and use a good vacuum to get the sand up.

This was a nice quaint reservation. Parking gets a little dicey closer to the weekend and at night due to the proximity of the ocean. The staff were very pleasant. I like that kitchen utensils and cookware were provided. Please be aware that when booking through 3rd party sites, the property will charge you an additional “destination” fee separate from any fees the 3rd party site charges. Overall, I would definitely recommend staying here.

The beach access was absolutely perfect 20/10 on that! With that being said, the room was NOT AT ALL how it is portrayed online. The hardwood flooring in the room was nice however the rest was dated and needs serious upgrades. The wall was warped from I’m assuming a water leak, fridge was leaning, beds hard a brick, lighting was terrible, pillows were flat as a board and probably haven’t been replaced since the 90’s. The pool area was nice minus all of the crack and chips of stuff everywhere. Also needs work. AC worked except didn’t carry all the way through the room so I had to buy a fan. They did have a sponge and a little starter kit of coffee etc which was really nice. Parking was easy. I would not stay here again due to how dated the room was. (Lighting is photos looks brighter than it actually was)

Great beach hotel for our big family. We stayed in a room with 2 double beds on the second floor oceanfront. View for us was great. Furnishings were simple and walls were bare, but overall had what we needed. There have different room layouts - our specific room included a small kitchen area with a full sized fridge with freezer, microwave, stove top and dishwasher, and small dining table. The kitchen had everything we would need - dishes, silverware, and a small selection of pots/pans. On site laundry room had a single coin operated washer and dryer. Note: there is no elevator - we didn’t need one but just something to consider if you struggle with stairs.

Our small deck looked out on the ocean. Rooms on the 2nd and 3rd floors will give you beach views if you are oceanfront. First floor rooms will look onto a parking lot and the tiny pool. Pool is small but worked great for our kids and was shaded by the building in the late afternoon - a nice way to keep the kids out of the sun after spending the morning on the beach. Beach access is direct from the hotel parking lot. Short walking distance to a small market, the Kure Pier and several local restaurants.

We hope to visit again!

This was my first time going to Kure Beach. From the outside, the place looks okay, but run down. The room was small, but the air conditioner worked amazing. I was surprised because they were very rusty. The kitchen is small and doesn't have much room to do anything. Staff was very nice. The pool was relaxing, although not kept clean. The 2nd day we were there, there was stuff in the pool. Overall , we enjoyed our trip. I don't know if I would stay there again.

Check-in time was 4pm but a lot of us had to wait for later. Pool closes at 8pm which is ridiculous. Garbage stains on the wall. The weird early pool closer is what got me. Adults during the peak season should be able to swim until at least 10pm. If I go to Kure again I’d see about different lodging.

Clean, top notch location. Our only.recommendation is to have a/c cleaned of mold more often and to discourage smoking near the pool, with the latter obvious debatable. Imagine there is a reason for an ashtray in that spot. It's just when kids are swimming, the last thing you want them to inhale, besides water, is the secondhand smoke. Other than that, we've had a great stay!

I chose Admiral's Quarters because of its excellent reviews, but unfortunately our experience did not reflect them. During our stay, we met several families who had vacationed here for years, and each said they would not be returning under the new ownership. We arrived one hour before check-in and were told our room was ready, but it would cost an extra $50 to check in early. Since that wasn't in our budget, we waited in the car. At check-in, I was then charged another $35 arrival fee, even though Expedia stated all taxes and fees were included. The front desk employee assigned us a third-floor room with no elevator. I explained that my son has a developmental disability and multiple significant medical conditions, and I have mobility issues with my knees. I asked if we could be moved to one of the available lower-floor rooms, but was told no. Every trip upstairs took 10–15 minutes because the heat and humidity worsened my son's breathing difficulties, and he needed frequent breaks to rest and regulate. Thankfully, the housekeeping staff was wonderful and even stopped to help us one day. The room was clean, and I appreciated the extra security lock, which would make it much harder for a child who elopes to leave unnoticed. The pool hours were inconsistent. One sign said 8:00 p.m., another said 9:00 p.m. We were made to leave at 8:00 one night, yet people swam until 10:00 the next. Overall, the unexpected fees, poor customer service, lack of flexibility, and inconsistent polic

We always stay at Admirals Quarters. It has changed in the last few years with new ownership. Staff are friendly, but not always available.
Office was closed when we arrived, at 5:45 pm to check-in, because of staff member having to take a key to the other end of the island. She came back around 6:20, was friendly, and we checked in and received our room keys.
With the cost increase since the new ownership, I believe this should not be an issue.

Overall the experience was not good. The amount we paid for the room and they never came to clean it, we would put the towel bag out and never get the right amount back. The older front desk lady was very helpful and nice but the other lady was rude and disrespectful. They would only allow one vehicle and we had to use public parking for the other which isn't cheap. Would and will not go back there due to the cost of the room and the services they didnt provide and the rude staff. Go somewhere else because theres more affordable places with nicer staff and cleaner rooms and no cockroachs running around.

Great stay at admiral quarters. The front desk was very nice, although the room was not ready at 4pm. We went and sat on the beach until about 530pm before we got into our room. The room Was very clean . Plenty of towels and both of the beds very comfy. The tub is a little scary as it’s not supported and feels like you may fall through. They had shampoo, conditioner and soap available for use that was very nice. The balcony was facing the main road and could use some upgrading too the boards are loose and a little shaky. We love to grill by the pool while on vacation and found this area needing a little clean up / over haul. We had a wonderful time and will be back!

Overall, this property has a few strong positives but also some noticeable drawbacks.

The location is excellent, with easy and convenient beach access, which was definitely a highlight of our stay. The pool area was also nice and well-maintained, making it a great spot to relax.

However, there were several issues that took away from the experience. The kitchen was stocked with only the bare minimum supplies, making it difficult to cook meals comfortably. For example, the oven pan that was provided didn’t even fit in the oven, which was frustrating and impractical.

Additionally, while the property is advertised as non-smoking, we frequently noticed staff smoking outside, and the smell of cigarette smoke lingered around the property. As someone sensitive to smoke, this was quite bothersome and not what we expected when booking.

Overall, while the location and amenities like the pool were enjoyable, the lack of proper kitchen supplies and the smoking concerns made the stay less comfortable than anticipated.

Everyone was very very nice. We were only staying over night and they allowed us to come before check in and park in the lot. We were able to have a day out on the beach waiting for check in! Also they let us use the pool even though we technically hadn’t checked in. Would have loved an ice machine but there are many place within walking distance. Love how they had a real key! Definitely on our list of cute, vintage, charm hotels. The room it self was not out dated. Very clean and open. Shower was very nice.

If you're wanting a beach view, get a room on 2nd or 3rd floor. Parking is provided but it's often difficult getting in and out of spaces. Also, non-guests will sometimes park there, but management found us a place to park next door.

Its a typical beach motel. Nothing fancy. Beds were comfortable and clean but the bathroom was really dated and the sink and mirror area for preparing were tiny and not easy for three people to navigate. I had the two bedroom suite so you would have thought the area would have been much larger in the bath area, but it wasn't. Conversely - the kitchen area was huge would have been better if those were swapped in size. The location was perfect. Easy walk to the beach pier and center of town to the market and restaurants. It was overall a good value for what we paid.

I really don’t know how this motel got all the exceptional reviews. I booked this place on the reviews and was very disappointed. I knew it was an older motel, but the basicness of this place disappointed me. I was charged a “resort fee” of $24 upon check in. This is by far, not like the resorts i ever stayed in. No exercise room, no hot tub, no ice machine, no elevator and so on. Not even a luggage rack, mirror or chair in the room. The room was basic, looked like it was painted recently but no pictures on the wall and no character. TV was a Roku TV which was fine, when the WiFi actually worked. Phones could not connect either. Only place to hang anything was on the rack inside the door. Our suits dripped on the floor and when we went to clean it up, our towel was black from dirt. Would not even use the ceiling fan until the blades were cleaned. I’ll end on some positives…. Bed and linens were clean, pool was great and was very close to the beach.

Room was clean and the beds were so comfortable! Staff was helpful & very polite. Loved having the sliding back door made it very convenient to get to my car easily as I’m handicapped and it’s hard to walk long distances plus the view was gorgeous. The pool was clean and felt amazing. I love the close convenient access to the pier as well. Great location.

The location is what makes this place the best choice within the price point. You can’t beat being right on the beach, less than a block away from the 4 restaurants Kure Beach offers, with guaranteed off street parking. The beach view was present although technically there’s a parking lot between you and the beach. The staff was very friendly. The room was clean and nice enough… we’re only talking about a 2-star place, on the beach, that is very affordable all things considered. Enter with the proper expectations and you’ll have a great time. Everything worked in the room. We didn’t come to the beach to spend time in the room. Great location, friendly staff, easy parking, and clean/nice enough.

The front desk, Rosalyn, was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean even though when you pull up the building is old looking. It was at a good spot. We had oceanfront room which I loved. We could just walk right down to the beach. I will stay here again because of the friendly, helpful staff and clean rooms.

The room was clean, the front desk staff very friendly and helpful.
The beach was just steps off the back sliding door. It was so convenient and the Kure pier was
only 2 minutes walk. We loved the whole beach vibe and even the people who were staying there are so friendly. Most say they stay there every year. We might be doing the same thing. If you don't mind a older looking motel/hotel with the beach steps away, stay at the admirals quarters. You'll get hooked.

Awesome location in Kure. Loved the oceanfront view. When amenities said kitchen assumed an oven and there wasn’t one. Staff were friendly and professional. I would come back and would recommend this motel.

Our room didn’t lock. When we brought it to the staff’s attention we weren’t offered a new room or discount on the room. They then asked to fix the lock before we were about to check out so it didn’t make a difference. We also had a cockroach in our room.

No kitchen at all, definitely did not look or feel like the photos listed. My room was dirty and stained and rusted, etc. I did have a mini fridge and microwave. No air in the bathroom so it stayed hot in there. Locks on doors didn't feel secure and safe. Very very close to the beach so if that is what you want this is it!

We did not have a beach view. Actually, we were in a fairly small room right above the office. The room was not even listed on the room map that we saw. No closet space so no to place for extra blankets. I had to ask for one from the staff in the office. I would not want to stay in this room again.

I had a wonderful stay at this oceanfront hotel. The location was unbeatable, with direct access to the beach and a beautiful view right from the room. One of my favorite features was the pool access—it was convenient, relaxing, and perfectly maintained.

Great location, 1/2 block for the pier. Great breakfast place right around the corner. Everything was walkable. Great place to stay for a long weekend. The only downside of them first floor is your patio lets out into the parking lot. Anyone can park in front of your unit.

Good parking. Easy access to beach. Nice wash area before heading back inside. Kitchen area was already stocked with dishes and cookware. Maybe add basic seasonings like salt and pepper no one would think to buy. Only issue was the floor had sand everywhere on it. Which I understand is hard to prevent right on the beach. Great place especially for the price.
