I am pretty sure that most of the names of the good reviews are by the people that work there!

My husband and I came in town to go fishing which the pier was right down the road so was Food Lion. They excepted my little dog so we were happy. The staff was very friendly. Yes I seen a few roaches, but what motel doesn't have them? The finest hotels has them. The bed and room was very clean and comfortable. The only thing that I didn't ...

We really enjoyed our stay. The rooms have recently been remodeled. The owner has opened an antique shop in the lobby and it has several interesting items. I purchased a few things and can't wait to go back just to shop even if we can't stay for the night. I would recommend the motel to stay if you are looking something clean and a good price and the antique shop if you are looking for antiques. The people were nice and helpful.

My boyfriend and I came into town for Halloween weekend and we decided to stay at the rusty pelican. When you enter the room it isn't what you would normally expect from a hotel--it was better! The decor is very reminiscent of a cozy cottage and instantly puts you with the feel of home. We had a lovely stay and I would recommend this place to anyone. The owners were very nice and accommodating as well.

I recently stayed at the hotel and for an older hotel, the rooms were really clean and I felt like I was home. Everything in the room matched, nicely decorated and it appeared as if the room had just been painted and remodeled. I would recommend this hotel to all of my friends. The next time I go back to Emerald Isle, I will be staying here.

Its so nice and its the sweetest place to go. If you go there you wont regret it. Its cheap and good looking.

The employees of the Rusty Pelican are very caring, always take care of your every need, i'm in love with this place, great location, within walking distance of everything that you need, anything from food to shops to the bar lol, this place is great, every day the room is cleaned and taken care of. The service here is the best i've ever ...

I love this motel, the customers are very friendly and they are there 24/7. Whenever you need something they are willing to go the extra mile for you. Every chance i get to go to emerald isle i will always stay at the Rusty Pelican, plus i love the new antique shop in the lobby.

This is the only hotel I have stayed at where the front desk lady looks like Skelator. The other guy that worked there appeared to have two black eyes. Come 3am, seeing him fighting outside, we know why he has two black eyes. Bring antibiotics if you intend to stay at this gem. The place is tolerable if you are black out drunk, high on crack or ...
