I paid for 4 nights at this dump and I didn’t even stay there. It was dirty and I swear people were outside doing drugs. Loud big barking dogs in rooms. The first room they gave me had some kind if leak coming from the room above it. Gave me another room that was just as bad. Didn’t feel safe staying there so I took myself and my kids and literally went next door to the days inn. Trying to get my money back has been a hassle. I understand that you get what you pay for but to have your place run like that and having people feeling unsafe is a very bad thing.

Would not recommend staying here .

The hotel is very dirty inside and outside. Blow dryer did not work. One elevator for the whole building and completely on opposite end of room where I stayed. The refrigerator stunk. We had a great ocean view , however our room door was hard to open and close. The toilet clogged repeatedly and the whole room needs a good deep cleaning.

Sorry decision.

Nobody at front desk for check in for 20 minutes, then finally when people arrived, the system was down. I spent an hour waiting to finally get a key. Outside of building in disrepair with loads of trash sitting around. No handicapped parking at my handicapped room.

This was probably a really nice hotel at one time, however, it is really could use some renovations, which I think that might have been occurring. THe room was clean and the beds were comfortable. I had what was supposed to be an oceanfront room, however, I could barely see the ocean, so if you really can't see the ocean, you shouldn't be charged oceanfront rates. Breakfast was the bare minimum, maybe because it was the off season.

There were no towels when we arrived, the roaches must have used them. The gentleman at the desk gave me a "You're going to make me get up and do something look" when I went to ask for them. Trash on the grounds and parking lot. Feral cats all over the place, feces everywhere.

Great Inexpensive OBX Motel

Was originally given room very close to beach. There was ZERO lighting (possibly cuz of turtle nesting. I didn’t feel comfortable / safe. Hotel staff was more than willing to change my room. Walking distance with convenient walking path to the beach.

resort fee not refunded

the hotel location is in a great place and close to the main roads. The room decor was okay just a bit outdated but it looks like the hotel is going thru some renovation. However, I was surprised that when I checked in I was charged an additional $10 fee called a resort fee and this fee was not on my hotel.com reservation. The gentlemen who checked me in stated that the fee is refundable but I have not seen the refund. When I call the number listed on the hotel website no one answers. I would like to have my refund as promised.

Good enough

We stayed the weekend to participate in the Christmas bar crawl. We knew we werent going to be in the room much, just needed a place to stay. Room was clean. Hotel is definitely an older building, only concern we had with that was the dark/rusty water when turned the shower on. It worked for us for a couple nights but nothing to write home about.

Great oceanfront location. Just steps from the beach. Kind of hard to keep sand out of the room, but that comes with the territory. Would recommend something to wipe off your feet before getting on the bed.
