We’ve been going to the same Hampton Inn and Suites in Corolla, NC for a few years now, as we have thoroughly enjoyed our stays there; however, that was not the case this time. We last stayed here in July of 2024 and everything was great, came back for Labor Day inly a couple of months later and the hotel looked run down. Floors were filthy, ants in the eating area, tables for breakfast looked like they’d never been wiped, no towels for pool area, candy wrappers on table in room at check-in, shower barely worked with rust stains dripping down from it, and sand in bed sheets (we had to change our own sheets). Additionally, we saw several of the staff just hanging out in the halls watching their phones, which we found odd that so many of them would be allowed to do this. Location is still great through with some of the best beach access.
