Definitely not worth the money we paid for 3 nights. Fairly dingy rooms. Weird smell when you walk into the property. Hotel room was okay, we paid for a beach view which we got and wasn’t bad. There were water stains on the ceiling and most things were outdated. There’s only 1 elevator so it can be quite a wait to go up or down and it’s not very huge. In a pinch I would stay here but not my next choice. There was also a stain on one of the blankets, which was gross.

We purchased a pet friendly room with the policy stating that your dog was not to be left alone. However the people next to us left their dog alone repeatedly. He would how and bark and scratch and go crazy for hours. I ach day it happened we contacted the staff and they said they had left messages for them and the would fine them. That did nothing for us . Our distance was through the off and we couldn’t sleep at night when this family left the dog unattended. The staff didn’t do anything. Every time we called and after we had paid an extra $125 for a dog friendly room . They never offered to move us or the other daily or apologize or discount our stay. Very disoriented in their lack of ownership

This was a solid choice for us for our short stay in The Outer Banks with our dog. The hotel has some visible wear, if you're expecting fancy and new you will be disappointed. However, renovations appear to be in process and the place has serious potential! Staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and gave some excellent recommendations of local places to check out (we especially loved American Pie across the street!). Location is excellent and there are plenty of places within walking distance. We greatly appreciated the amenities with the beach access, free breakfast, and the fenced dog area. We did have a small problem with our room during our stay, but staff took care of it as soon as the issue was brought to their attention. With it being a dog friendly place, there are a lot of other dogs. Our dog is fairly non-reactive to other dogs so it was not an issue for us, but be aware if your dog is easily stressed by other dogs and their noises. Overall, a great choice for us and we'd return if we traveled back to the area!

I like that the hotel was close to the beach and had an outdoor pool for customers to use.
However, there was a lot of construction plastic on the first floor, but no construction was being conducted at the time, making the hallway very dark compared to the second floor, where it was very well lit and bright in the hallway.
In addition, there was some issue with the water. The water in the bathroom sink took several hours to drain out and the water pressure was low. Since it was a short stay of 2 days, I just dealt with it.

Negatives: Hotel under construction; feels dilapidated, room doors not sealed causing high humidity in room, dust/dirt present throughout room and in some electrical outlets, breakfast sparse and served late, coffee machines produced poor tasting coffee, hotel walkways not cleaned frequently; sand present throughout, room door needed to be pulled hard to properly lock, no outside showers for pool, no outside faucet to wash sand off from beach.

The room was clean and the one issue that we did have, with the toilet being clogged on check in, was addressed immediately. Breakfast was decent the day I tried it and desk staff were very friendly! My only criticism would be the overwhelming smell of pot smoke once someone checked into the room next to us, the entire floor smelled at one point, had I been staying longer I would have asked to be moved to another room. To each their own, people are free to do what they want but it stinks plain and simple and it’s supposed to be a no smoking property, so I guess places need to enforce that more.

Two guys walked in, they were checked in and given the keys to their room. When I questioned the clerk I was told that was not what I saw. The black clerk was laughing and flirting with the two guys. Acting as if I weren’t even standing there. Another clerk came to the desk and told her to let us check in that the room was ready. I was being treated very unfairly.

We checked into the hotel on March 23. At check-in, the front desk asked for our license plate numbers. I explained that my mom and I had two vehicles since we traveled from different states, and I was told there would be a $20 per night fee for the second car. I mentioned that our Expedia booking said parking was included and said I would try to find other parking to avoid the extra $100 for our five-night stay. The staff explained that overnight parking nearby is no longer allowed.

My mom asked if the fee could be waived. The manager first offered 50% off, then agreed to waive it entirely since Expedia hadn’t updated the policy.

Breakfast was a buffet with rotating hot items like eggs and sausage, plus waffles, toast, yogurt, cereal, juice, and coffee. It was decent, but more variety like bacon or potatoes would’ve been nice.

The hotel was clean, quiet, and in a great beachfront location. When our fridge froze our food, maintenance replaced it within five minutes—great service.

Staff, especially Shoena and Eric, were very helpful. I’d stay again, just be aware of possible parking fees.
