Top Harbinger Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Nags Head Oceanfront by IHG

8/10 Good

"My biggest comlpaint is that on the website it says there is a Keurig machine in the room - great. What it doesn't tell you is that you need to bring your own pods - bummer. If you're going to provide the Keurig and not pods OR cups, then say so; that way we know ahead of time."

Days Inn by Wyndham Kill Devil Hills Oceanfront - Wilbur

10/10 Excellent

"While this property was built in 1939 and therefore are smaller rooms, it has retained the lovely charm of its day and incorporated modern amenities. It is well-maintained and clean. Breakfast was good and the staff was attentive to the area. While the dunes prevent a view of the ocean, it is just a short walk to the beach. It is close to the Wright Brothers National Memorial and Monument, which was our primary reason for our stay."

Hampton Inn & Suites Outer Banks/ Corolla

10/10 Excellent

"Property is on a beautiful flat beach with tons of shells. Our room was quiet and faced the parking lot. King bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was ample with 24 hour hot water and coffee in the lobby. We did not use the pools but there were 4- Lazy River, 1.5 foot wading pool, regular pool and an indoor pool with jacuzzi. Would definitely rebook this one!"

Ocean Sands Beach Boutique Inn - Stay At the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"I was super pleased with the service there. I wasn’t big on the kiosk check in but it still was easy to do. They provide snacks which includes fresh popcorn and cookies every evening at 5pm. The rooms are super clean and make you feel relaxed. The beds are comfortable and I slept for 10 hours. I would recommend 10/10 for this place and I will be staying longer the next time. The staff is wonderful and are always willing to help or make sure you have everything you need."
