We were very pleased with our stay. The room looked immaculate. It may have been recently remodeled as the carpet, furniture and linens looked brand new. Location is convenient and staff courteous. Great find!

Normal cheap hotel that was perfectly fine for a few nights. Bed was good and room was fine. You check in at a kiosk with some outsourced workers that you video chat with. Hard to get information about the area when they are in another country.

Solid stay for the Price

This motel was as expected. It is no frills and a decent place for a night or so. It is older and shows the wear and tear of being a motel on the outer banks. It served us well for our one night stay.

Although this hotel is right on 12, it was very quiet. Pool was perfect. Location was a 2 minute walk to the beach and 5 to the National Park (Hattaras Lighthouse). Great place for the money.

Clean and safe! excluding some tile seam blackness. Nice lines and pillows. I didn't like they have closed the center staircase off, lugging luggage forever and a fire hazard. I asked for 1st floor - medical issues, nope - but was vacant rooms the 3 nights I was there. Little coffee maker. Would stay again but only a night.

We’ve stayed here every time we visit, which is now about 6 times. Never have had a single complaint or major issue. If you get a first floor hotel room it tends to be a bit musty from previous flooding but nothing to switch rooms over. A/C unit works great, has a fridge and microwave, comfortable beds, nice little bathroom, and if you go in peak season Food Lion 8 minutes up the road is 24/7. Makes for a very fun and affordable trip to the best place in all of North Carolina. 24/7 check in saves your behind when you realize how long the drive is to Hatteras Island.

We needed a one night stay in the area while waiting for our rental property and I chose this property because of its proximity and other reviews. It was Labor Day weekend, so I expected prices would be higher than normal. The beds were comfortable and the shower water temperature was good. Clean towels and sheets, but the rooms were a bit shabby and in need of some attention. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. We received a call letting us know the room was ready well before regular check in time. So overall, a good choice. Options are limited in this area as it is what I refer to as “bohemian” in a good way. We love Avon and Buxton on Hatteras Island. It’s unpretentious and relaxing.

Our first time staying here. The kiosk check in was easy fast and convenient. Room is spacious and nice and has everything we need. Offering beach towels for guest use is very nice. Looking forward to using the pool and walking to the beach tomorrow am.
