I appreciated the new bedding. Shower surround looked new but the bottom needs replacing or at least repairing. The coffee pot still had a used pod in it. Excellent location & price. Stayed here before & will stay again.

Stayed there 4 nights during the Bluegrass festival in Manteo. It was very comfortable and clean with a microwave and fridge in our room. The place is a bit worn, but not terrible. It was a good value at approximately $75 per night.

There isn’t much sound-proofing between the rooms. The shampoo container in the shower was empty and there was mysterious blue stuff all over the shower curtain and wall. But it’s a great location and a good value for what you pay.

One of the worst places we have stayed in in the past 10 years. Extremely Musty smelling. I have asthma but it's not healthy for anyone to breathe this air quality of air. Black Mold was seen in the bathroom. All wall bathing fluids empty and a pain to get refilled so only got hand soap filled after having to go to front desk. Coffee pot only worked if you stood there holding down the lid for 10 minutes. Will NEVER stay at this place again.

Our toilet didn’t work the first night and they took a while to move rooms. The staff wasn’t very helpful. We were trying to move rooms because they took the entire toilet off and put it in the shower. We thought that was enough to move us to a different room right away but it took a while for staff to do so. We have stayed here before and always have had good experiences but this time wasn’t very good.

It wasn’t very comfortable, I would have preferred a table and chairs vs a vinyl love seat. The room was fairly clean, but very old. Location was good. VERY noisy, especially the air conditioner. For the price we paid it was okay. Not sure we’d stay there again. Location was good
