Cape Hatteras Motel

10/10 Excellent
"The room was very spacious and clean. It felt like staying in a mini two bedroom apartment. The only “issue” was the front door was hard to open/shut so it was loud trying to get in and out. Other than that no complaints. The pool area was nice. The price was budget friendly, I definitely recommend this motel."

"The pictures on the site are a little confusing for the Gloria. It shows two different bed suits. It is a king size bed and a futon. The futon would fit a young child, but not an almost 6ft teen/adult. Other than that, it fit our needs pretty well. A small table of sorts would be a great addition. Very comfy and cozy. Very short walk to the beach."
