This hotel was fantastic. The room was clean and every member of the staff that we encountered were friendly and courteous. The breakfast was fresh and hot and the extra amenities such as the popcorn all day and cookies in the evening were a welcome touch.

Everything was abundantly stocked and clean. We were too late in the season for the pool but had a good mile of beach to ourselves. Unfortunately the first floor keypad was none operational, and the desk in my room had the legs on backwards making it not functional.

Great location, well stocked with everything we needed. There were only 2 of us, so plenty of space. Unfortunately we arrived at a bad time, tropical storm followed by a Nor'easter. The accommodations were very comfortable and if you had to be shut in for 7 days, this was the right place.

OBX is the perfect place to unwind and relax while escaping the real world! You can clear your mind and refresh your soul. I always feel so relaxed in the Outer Banks!

I grew up visiting this beach in the summers and staying in this motel when I was a little girl myself, because it was one of my grandmothers favorite places to stay and now I get to share the same experience with my daughter!

5/5 - Excellent

Strongly recommend even in the off season. Cooler but still nice and fewer people.
