After supplying the necessary documents for precheck in they sent me my room number and code to enter the room so check in was a breeze. Bathroom fixtures needed to be repaired because they just hung there and were not attached but we only spent 1 night there so did not disrupt our stay. Bed was comfortable. Price was incredible so I would recommend if you only need 1 night. Was definately in the heart of Manteo.

Listen, you get what you pay for. This was a great deal to get to stay so close to the beach and walking distance from downtown Manteo. It is dated, and it is not the cleanest. Our towels were clean but had stains, the furniture in the room had stains, the mirror hadn’t been cleaned. The sheets were clean and so were the surfaces, the bathroom, and the appliances. The air conditioning worked well, and the front desk staff was nice. For the price I paid, I would stay here again.

The room was clean, however cleanliness did not overcome the cosmetic upgrades that needed to be done. This was a very old property and I assume that it was in the middle of being renovated. Furniture was very old and stained and the bed slept okay. Air conditioner worked great. Parking was convenient right in front of the rooms.

Only reason not 5 star is the older man in a red polo who worked there walking around and staring down guest.

I booked this hotel for one of my crews while they worked in the area. Upon arriving, the cleanliness lobby area concerned them so they asked to see the room prior to checking in. The desk clerk was very rude to them. They noted the room was dirty and saw bugs. They went back to the truck and called me to let me know the condition of the hotel. I reached out to hotels.com for assistance. They did call and spoke with the hotel. Afterwich, they said without my guys checking in there wasn’t much they could do. I then asked my guys to go ahead and check in and when they went back into the hotel. The desk clerk told them hotels.com called and they wouldn’t be staying there and they wouldn’t be getting a refund. I would highly recommend staying clear of this hotel. If I could rate less than 1 star I would certainly do so.

The facility is dated but served our purpose, our room was clean, staff were nice, dated air-conditioning but it worked fine. It is moderately priced , they were able to respond to our unexpected need to stay additional days in the same room which was great. This is a busy hotel and we were happy to be able to get the room during a peak season at the last minute.

Seems like mostly local workers are clients- maybe truck drivers etc. Not exactly the best place for a family stay. Just my opinion.

This is an offsite motel with no manager on duty to take of any incidents.

Motels that have onsite managers are better kept up.
This motel needs to be remodeled and updated badly. Stains in the bathroom, part of the mirror gone and the curtains shredded and ready to fall apart. Yikes!

The good qualities were the comfortable bed, lots of drawers for storage, new flooring in the bedroom area. The poor qualities were the very old, small bathroom with no sink or mirror. No drain plug in the tub and very slippery. The kitchenette did not have a single fork, spoon or knife, or dishwashing detergent. There was a dehumidifier next to the bed. I killed 4 bugs. Pillows were lumpy. No place to hang your clothes. I would not stay there again.

The lights in my room kept blinking. The refrigerator was nice and so was the sink. However, there was no sink in the bathroom. They had a pan outside the room, catching the water from the air conditioners and the steps going up to the second floor we’re very dirty however, the bed slept very well, and the air conditioner did work. When I arrived, the staff were just very matter of factual, not very exceptionally friendly and when I left, they were a little more friendlier, but for the price, I guess you can’t expect a whole lot, but I would stay there again hoping they would make a few changes like cleaning the steps in the sidewalk was a big one

While the staff were very friendly, I was highly unsatisfied with the cleanliness and safety of the hotel. The first room we were assigned had a strong chemical smell, and we found two roaches walking on the wall in the kitchenette. We asked for a change, and though the second room smelled better, the sofa was completely filthy and covered in stains.

Security is also a major concern. We stayed for two nights, and on our second day, we made sure to lock the door before leaving. When we returned, the door was closed but completely unlocked. Thankfully, nothing was missing, but management only offered a casual 'so sorry' for a serious security breach. Additionally, I specifically booked this hotel for the convenience of the EV charging station, but it was out of order during our entire stay. I would not recommend this place.

This property is very basic. First, there were 3 little white tabs in the bathroom trashcan that looked like small white bandaids. Yuck! Second, the hand towel had a brown streak along one edge that looked like it had been run over by a wheel. The bathtub appeared to have been painted and the paint was peeling. The alarm clock on the desk had been unplugged, and I am unable to bend down to reconnect it to a wall plug (if there was one). The desk had no chair unless the chair on the opposite side of the bed was supposed to be the desk chair. Finally, there were no handicap parking spaces on the rear side of the property. Overall, I think this property was grossly overpriced. $60 to $80 per night would have been much more appropriate for the age and condition of the rooms.

This is an older hotel but is clean and well maintained. Amenities are limited but they did have bags at the doggy poo station. That is always a plus in my book. The staff is not well focused on customer service and I had to get Expedia to call them in order for them to honor a refund. Be warned that their cancellation policy is different from most hotels. Usually you can cancel or change a reservation up to a day before it was booked. This place was more like 4 days in advance so be careful when booking.

I do not recommend this Motor lodge. Our first room was disgusting. The chair in the room was filthy. I asked to cancel the room but since I did the reservation thru Expedia they couldn't cancel. They did give us better room but it was still not great. There is a dehumidifier in the room that fills up daily and causes the room to smell like pee. I tried to cancel they Expedia but I was told the management from the motor lodge denied it. We ended up leaving a day early because I just couldn't stand the smell any longer. Also when dealing with English speaking people it would be nice if management could understand you better.
