The hotel is older and has some water damage very apparent around the window in our room including cracks in the brickwork. The staff was very nice. The views were beautiful, the elevators were old and slow, it was hard to even see the numbers on the buttons as they were so worn out. For a one-night stay it was fine, it was clean and comfortable.

Staff was excellent! Very friendly and helpful in letting me check in early. Wonderful view of the ocean and beach which was important to me as I was hoping to find sea and shorebirds, which I did! I also got amazing views of the SpaceX Falcon 12 launch!! The room was clean and the bed suuuuuper comfy, giving me the best night's sleep in weeks and by far the best hotel sleep I've had in a very long time. They also have a hotel kitty named Boots who provided 5-star head bonks and scritch opportunities! Lol The only reason this is a 4* and not 5* review is my tub wouldn't drain after my shower. Staff was alerted the morning of checkout (I only stayed overnight) and said they would fix it. I will for sure stay there again.

Needs to be Updated

The hotel location close to the main drag and to the beach was ideal which is why we chose to stay here. However, the building is tired and in need of a refresh. The bed was lumpy, the bathroom faucet leaked, the shower rod had been installed improperly so the curtain kept sliding to the middle, and only one elevator was working.

Stay somewhere else on the OBX

I was thoroughly disappointed with my week-long stay. For the $1,700 I spent, I expected far better. Instead, I dealt with a broken elevator the entire time, creating congestion and long waits at every floor. The lobby reeked of a wet dog smell that hit you immediately upon entry, which set a poor tone from the start.

Mornings were anything but restful thanks to the cleaning crew shouting back and forth down the hallways. To top it off, I found a bug in my bed (thankfully not a bed bug, but unacceptable all the same). The outlets in the room were also loose, making it difficult and unsafe to charge devices — another clear sign of poor maintenance.

While the registration staff and breakfast were pleasant, they were the only positives. The rest of the property looked neglected. At the pool, I noticed the balconies across the way with cracked foundations and obvious structural deterioration. My room’s windows were so filthy you could barely see out, and not from saltwater residue — just lack of upkeep.

Overall, this hotel is nowhere near worth the $1,700 price tag. Between the broken facilities, poor cleanliness, safety hazards, and general state of disrepair, this stay was a major disappointment. Do yourself a favor — spend your money elsewhere.

Super convenient for our fishing trip however the property has fallen on some rough times.

I’ve stayed there maybe 6-7 times in past 20 years and feel now maintenance has been deferred for far too long. The door looked as though it had been opened with a crowbar, light switch in bathroom threw sparks, shower control fixture falling off wall, drains slow draining, rust. Pool needs serious professional maintenance help. Reinvest in your property or it will be gone before you know. Breakfast was mostly inedible. Owners and managers, you folks know you are serving up a substandard product as a hotel. Line level employees were fine, trying hard to deal with conditions.

I’ll look elsewhere close by when I come back next month.

My advice—avoid this hotel for now. Better options abound. I hope ownership will take this review as a call to action.

Let down and disappointed

My family and I have been coming here for many years as an annual trip to the outer Banks. Unfortunately it was not a pleasant experience this time. Last several times we have stayed only one elevator shaft has functioned. The elevator is very slow. Upon check-in I was asked if I would like them to clean my room daily. I stated yes however they did not clean my room for the entirety of my stay. Upon booking the room I chose an oceanfront room with two queen sized beds, unfortunately I did not get an oceanfront room. In the beds were two double beds. But being exhausted from sitting in traffic for about 5 and 1/2 hours I did not complain and I was just happy to get a bed. We had one unexpected visitor in the room, a cockroach. Staff is very friendly and inviting. However the facility itself needs some major changes.

Disappointing

We’ll start with the good- it’s in a great location with easy beach access.

That being said, hotel condition and cleanliness left a fair bit to be desired. Only one working elevator the five days we were there, lots of dingy carpet, broken trim pieces by doors, water issues that have been painted over, etc.

There were staff who were super helpful and kind (breakfast guy especially), but we also had extremely unhelpful and even snarky front desk staff who had confirmed on the phone that we had requested adjoining rooms for our family. I was told that rooms with those requests get assigned first, so they were confident they would be able to deal with the request even though it wasn’t guaranteed. Fast forward to our arrival, and they had given the adjoining room away already (even though we arrived just before check in time), and said we were stuck with whatever was left. That was pretty disappointing, but the cherry on top was the shoulder shrug, half smile that reeked of snarkiness as it was said “Oh well, what are you going to do? It’s not guaranteed…”.

Moving past that, other thoughts- A/C worked great in one room, but minimally in another. Breakfast was OK, and kept well stocked. Biggest other concern was the folks smoking on their balconies near the pool, and not always cigarettes…

So in the end, we had our beach trip. It was fun, but the hotel didn’t really add to our enjoyment basically at all. We were hoping for better than that based on prior reviews. Disappointing
