Amazing room and view
It was great. I went with my wife kids and parents. The suite was amazing. It had 2 bedrooms with a TV each, a living room with another tv and a fully working kitchen with all appliances. The hotel is in front of the beach and has a deck from where you can watch the sunrise and beach itself. It also has a Pier right next to it. Staff was friendly and helpful.

We came to stay for two nights for a music festival in Manteo. When we got there the room smelled strongly of cleaning products however the floors looked like they hadn’t been mopped in ages. One singular wall AC unit made one room freezing while the other room was mildly cool. They did provide two fans in our room which we were thankful for and tried to set them up to pull the AC air into the room without the unit. Lots of smokers outside almost every door making my family walk through their smoke every time we came and went. No sponge to wash dishes but had at least 20 towels for a two night stay. Staff was friendly the couple of times we interacted with them.

It was a fine for the price. My only complaint was that there were a lot of smokers always contaminating the air directly outside their hotel rooms, so our family would have to suck in the smoke on the way to our room. Not sure the motel can do anything about that. Again, the motel was adequate for the price and my teens loved the pool!

Parking totally sucks. People from the north need to learn to park in front of their rooms. Southerners already know if its a ground floor room, the spot in front of it is for that room. Other than that, it's adequate for a week of fishing. Easy access to a pier and the beach. Some folks staying there definitely like their weed but everyone was nice. Easy walk to food and entertainment.

This property wasn’t terrible - we knew going in that for what we paid, we shouldn’t expect much. For the price, I’d say it was good. You check in with a kiosk, which wasn’t a problem. The lobby is clean, the attendant on the kiosk was friendly & knowledgeable. We found our room, & immediately parked because parking is definitely tight. We had a ground floor 1 bedroom apartment, & were able to park directly in front. The room was clean (except the floor needed a good wash). The decor & furnishings are tired, & could use an update. It’s obvious they do a lot of “band-aid” repairs. Although the giant picture window is nice, it offers zero privacy - they could add some sheers so that you can still filter in light & have some privacy. The kitchenette was nice to have but utensils looked a little worn & somewhat dirty. The only other dirty thing I noticed was the sink - it seems cleaners don’t get the edges of the drains/faucets/sink edges - I did have to clean those with the Lysol wipes we carry with us. The manager & housekeeping were there all day each day, cleaning, & working hard. Oceanfront rooms don’t have a view due to the dunes, so I’d say don’t pay extra for that. But we loved being able to walk right out to the beach. I’d suggest a smoking area for those who do so. My family was in the apartment by the pool, & had their neighbor sitting outside her room smoking all day - in front of their door. So they had to walk through that & also smell it inside their room.
