Could have used one chair in the room. Maid didn’t knock before entering in the morning. Made for an awkward moment. And then 5 minutes later another maid walked in on us! We didn’t have a do not disturb sign on the handle. But I still think they should have knocked before entering. Check in staff and kiosk. Staff were excellent.

What a great stay especially for the price! Everyone was super friendly at check in. They are right on the beach and there is an amazing restaurant right across the street. No need to spend money on the big chain hotels this is the place to stay!!! The room was nice, quaint and clean. There want much water pressure in the shower but it was enough to do its job. They have a new Kiosk thing for check and out. It was super awkward coming up on zoom at check out but other than that a really nice place.

It was a very good budgetary stay. The room was clean and neat, staff was efficient and friendly. Room was not greatly equipped but adequate. The real attraction of course is “on the beach” We would stay there again.

Mostly good

Would’ve given 5 stars if not for the loud music that some maintenance workers kept blasting while working. It was right behind the reception area. I don’t know how people think it’s acceptable to do this in a hotel where people need to rest. Staff at the reception were very nice. Room itself was decent.

The best of OBX

Perfect. Room was big, beds were super comfortable, kitchenette well stocked, and the ability to step out our door into the sand made for the best experience. Staff called 4 hours before check-in to let us know room was ready! Housekeeping kept us well supplied with clean towels, toilet paper, and garbage bags. Quiet and relaxing location.
