Hampton Inn & Suites Outer Banks/ Corolla
"We had a lovely stay at the Hampton Inn. We did not have a great room, and next time will be sure to ask for a room on one of the upper floors. We had one issue - the music that played constantly in the halls was left on all night on our first night which kept me awake and as well, I thought playing music in the halls late at night was too much. I expressed my anger to reception the next morning and they promised me that it would not happen again. The next night was blissfully quiet. Thank you to Adam and Jami for responding and resolving the issue."
The Inn At Corolla Light
"The room was exactly as advertised, in fact, it looked even better than the pictures. The property is very well kept. Complementary breakfast probably has to be one of the best ones in a hotel that I’ve had various options to choose from which I was surprised by. The check-in process was smooth and easy. The tiki bar on site was also pretty cool. The staff also was helpful in giving suggestions and ideas on where to eat would definitely recommend for another short stay."
