Great location

We were in town for a disc golf tournament and we stay here twice a year. We love the location since there is a brewery 1 block away and the Kill Devil Grill right across the street

Clean room, breakfast always hit the spot. Hotel allowed us to park our car in their lot prior to our check in time because we were early and even called us to let us know when the room was ready. Awesome accommodations!

Quick stop on our way to Florida. Property was dated, but clean. If I had one complaint, it would be that the walls were paper thin and you could hear conversations in adjoining rooms.

Nice place to stay

The decor is very nice and the grounds. Love that the pool went 8 ft deep. The breakfast bar was nice as well, similar to what some of the major hotels do. I will definitely stay here again.

Great location and amenities

Great view for the Partial Ocean View. Could watch the sunrise from the balcony each day. Easy access to the beach and great location for everything else in OBX. Included breakfast was extra bonus. The hall and room carpet along with the room furniture, though newer, was a bit worn though. Would still stay again.

Fabulous!

We stayed here last year and were happy to return this year. We were not disappointed. Great location, wonderful room, staff is friendly and quick to respond. Our air conditioning went out and it was replaced and working while we went out to dinner. We plan on staying here again next year and have already booked. Highly recommend!
