Not bad for the price

Over all not bad. But, we were not notified before arriving that pool was under repair. One of the vanity lights over the bathroom sink was out and no light over the kitchenette area to see. Also, the parking area is really tight and not very easy to get turned around and get out. It did have a nice big tv.

This was a beautiful surprise and exactly what we needed. Great location as we could walk to the beach and walk to surrounding restaurants. The renovated room was clean and has great little touches like a coatrack for towels so you weren't stacking towels that will never dry. The pavilion overlooking the ocean is awesome. The pool is being renovated and will be another awesomd amenity to the inn. I would recommend this property in a heart beat!

Excellent Service, Great Location

I inadvertently scheduled my reservation for Sunday, April 20th instead of Saturday, April 19th. They were able to find me a room on a holiday weekend. The location is oceanfront with its own beach access. The bed was comfortable, the room modern. The only issue I had was that I cold not adjust the temperature to what I wanted. The AC works very well, but I'm old and prefer somewhere are 72 degrees. I will definitely stay here again the next time I visit Nags Head.

Stay was good, except getting stuck in the elevator for 10 mins. Just stopped working and the phone in the elevator didn’t work either. Front desk staff didn’t care too much, just thanked us for letting them know. Other than that it was a decent property, right on the beach, especially for the price. Does need some updates.

When we entered i thought that the room was adorable; in fact there was nothing wrong with the room. I was bothered about the level of noise. First they're was drilling for most of Friday. Maybe changing out key passes. I want notified that there wouldn't be any access to the pool as it appears they were working on that also. So between these noises and the children, it made for rough mornings.

Nice hotel, clean comfortable room. Beautiful beach access & gazebo with plenty of seating. Very nice daily quick breakfast foods. Wonderful, friendly staff in all areas. The breaskfast staff was very kind & did a great job keeping things stocked. The checkin staff were extremely helpful & provided us with a great deal of information of the area. My only negative is that the area off the hotel wasnt as walkable as i would have liked. There are sidewalks & crosswalks, but most businesses are on a 5 lane 45mph highway.
