This was a charming place to stay. Nothing fancy but had the basics amenities. Room was spacious and clean. I had a corner room right by the street amd didnt hear tje traffic. Check in and check out was easy. This is also one of the few places that I was able to bring my cats as they travel with me. I would definitely stay here again.

Stayed there 4 nights during the Bluegrass festival in Manteo. It was very comfortable and clean with a microwave and fridge in our room. The place is a bit worn, but not terrible. It was a good value at approximately $75 per night.
