Check in was easy. Only problem was the toilet was acting up off and on. Morning we left the toilet would not flush at all. We also did not have the room serviced (cleaned and restocked) so we were out of coffee. We did get some in the breakfast area. It was probably our fault as we put the do not disturb sign on the door when we took a nap but removed it later. Also the phone in our room was not working otherwise I would have called the front desk. Not a big problem as we all use our cell phones anyway!

Very nice location. We had a third floor room in the tower which had a private balcony with an ocean view. A short walk over the dune to a private beach. Room was very clean and comfortable. Morning breakfast was typical continental breakfast, nothing special but adequate. Everything was fresh with a few options. Plenty of parking and close to shopping and restaurants. Great view of an angry ocean with a storm off the coast.

Classic OBX Beach Hotel

Great little old-school beach hotel. Sure, it's on the older side, but that's kind of what makes the Outer Banks cool. It's got all the amenities you could ask for from a larger chain resort, the service is great, & best of all.... it's right on the beach! Very cozy. Indoor/outdoor pools. Clean & the breakfast was great with different options each morning. Would def stay again.

We would definitely stay here again, it was clean, nice decor, our view of the ocean was the best, and breakfast was great. Didn't give it a 5 because main elevator areas could have been cleaner and the glass door on our floor was dirty, but that's not a big deal. Oh, the beds were very comfortable!
