Check-in was easy, front desk person was very festive! Great reccomendations for seafood (definitely visit the Cockeyed Clam). Beach area was easily accessible but due to beach erosion there was a fair amount of construction debris

Robin was very pleasant and helpful with finding restaurants to have dinner. I like how you can pick up your replacement towels and beach towels without waiting on staff. It was convenient to the fishing charter. Will stay again.

Great staff, very helpful! I had issues with my door code and was immediately moved to a different room which was appreciated. The rooms are sufficient and budget-friendly. The location is very convenient to shops and restaurants with a very short drive to the lighthouse and area beaches which is why I chose this hotel. I wanted to be close to top birding spots and was not disappointed!

The room was clean, the staff friendly and helpful. The parking was right in front of the room and the area was well lit at night. I will consider this place again when visiting the Outer Banks.
