Stayed here 3 nights recently (March 2023) kind of neat stay, reminded of the motels when I was a kid ... it was a no frills motel but it was clean and a very well maintained motel. Reasonable rates ... friendly staff ... great channel line up for cable (actually the best I have seen at a hotel) will stay again when I return to Kure Beach and would recommend

I really liked this little motel! Friendly staff, clean and walking distance to the beach and good food, with a couple of great bars. I will definitely be back. I liked it so much that I will be back in October. Kure Beach is STILL a little beach town. That is the vibe of this little motel. Do yourself a favor and go. Chill the soul. I want to establish this little motel as my beach escape place when the rates are down in the off season but the tourist are gone. The locals are great too!

The Moran is a well known Kure Beach landmark. Everyone who's been there recognizes the Green Motel across from the pier! We stayed in the Apt over the Garage; My husband, me, my son, DIL and two grand daughters. There was plenty of place for all of us. Fresh towels appeared daily while we were out and about. the full kitchen had adequate space for us to cook breakfast and serve lunch daily and warm up food etc. There is a bar to sit at and eat meals as a family or play games. Now mind me, if you're looking for a luxury suite, that ain't it but I you need CLEAN, comfortable lodging near EVERYTHING at Kure Beach this is a great place!

Moran Motel Review My husband and I were getting in late at night so the staff worked with my parents to check us in and have a plan that allowed us to access our room with someone needing to meet us. This was very kind. When we got into the room there were multiple dead bug, flies to be specific in all three of the rooms on the floor and while we were showering (get to that in a second) my husband had to kill a few beetle like bugs with his shoe. The shower, both the one at 2am when we got in and at 9am were cold. The only soap in the bathroom where two little hand bars. The floor was also still dirty as it had foot prints on it from what looked like someone swiped a mop across it which just moved the dirt and then walked through it. We choose to not take off our shoes to walk around. We slept the night and then decided to find another place to stay. When my Dad (who had booked the stay as a birthday gift to me) went to check out and tell them about the issues they charged him $116 for the night and then cancelled the room for the rest of our stay. We walked to our new motel across the street and as we were checking in we heard yelling "Liars, a all out lies. They are liars." They we're yelling this in the parking lot and calling us liars and saying there are no bugs, there were flies." This continued for more than five minutes, people had come out of their rooms to see what was happening and my Dad finally walked back to ask them to stop which they didn't. One woman was "telling" other guests that we were liars as they asked what was happening

Very clean room, fresh linens, refrig, microwave, table and chairs, No coffee pot but there is a little gas station just a few steps away to grab a cup and either stroll along the streets to see the shops and tastys in the area or walk the beach which is just a couple extras steps away with public access or you can take your cup of joe back to the motel and sit outside as they have chairs right in front of each room. The pier is also just a few steps away. They have a nice clean pool area, ice machine, free parking. Miss Lynn at the front desk is amazing!! She made this weekend get away at the beach extra special. Thank you Miss Lynn for everything. Will definitely stay here again!!

I cannot say enough good things about this motel! We were a little skeptical about staying here,based solely on the outward appearance. But we went with the reviews. Boy were we surprised! It was super clean! The AC was cool. It was right across the street from the ocean with public beach access super close. We would DEFINITELY stay here again if in the area. (If I had to complain, it would be the lack of outlets in the bathroom in room 15) Not a deal breaker for us.

I am so happy that we stayed here! This is an old school motel with updated features like flat screen tv w/Dish Network. The front desk staff was extremely nice and super helpful with information on places in the area. Room was very clean and comfortable and less than a block from the beach. I highly recommend this place whether it's a short weekend stay or a week long vacation! Will DEFINITELY stay here again when we come back!

We only stayed one night, but we were highly impressed with this place! It's an older establishment but VERY well maintained and clean. The bathroom was small but was immaculately clean and well served our purposes. Water pressure in the shower was even better than what we have at home! Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Bed was also very comfortable and sheets were fresh! Highly recommended!

The Moran is a typical "beach motel". It is conveniently located to restaurants, shops, and the beach. The room was small, but clean and cozy. Although it is located on the main street, it was quiet. We would choose to stay here again!
