Amazing stay at a great hotel.
Great hotel, loved the balcony with oceanview. Watched the sunrise every morning and used the easy beach access for beach walks afterward. The morning breakfast was hot, fresh, with a lot of hot options. Location was great for access to local towns. Shopping, and great resteraunts.

Hidden Gem!
A hidden gem! Older hotel, however, the higher floors offer great ocean views. The breakfast buffet was great, however, there were no available trays. Staff are super friendly and willing to answer any questions. Will stay at this location again.

Great stay.
Great hotel and was very affordable (we went during the off season). We had a dune view balcony but you could still sometimes see part of the water so that was a plus. Beach access right from the parking lot. Breakfast was AWESOME. One of the best continental breakfasts I’ve had and the staff was very nice.

Broken balcony door
All in all, this was a very family, friendly location. Our room had a microwave and a mini fridge as well as a personal Keurig. We had a king room and we’re pleasantly surprised to have a pullout sleeper couch as well.
The biggest downside was that we paid for the extra for an oceanfront view, but our balcony door was broken and stuck closed. It’s a huge disappointment. Normally after we get our toddler to bed, we sit on the balcony and enjoy each other‘s company for a little bit, so we don’t wake him up. But tbh at option was taken from us.

The hotel is on the beach. Beachside rooms are perfect to see the sunrise. The location is 20-30 mins drive away from almost all major attractions in the area.

Average
My stay at the hotel was average. I can’t say anything was horrible. The bed was a little too hard for my liking. My room was oceanfront which was a plus. The couch was old and could stand being replaced. But any stay in the Outer Banks is a good stay!

Fair-Good
I would rate this hotel as fair-good. I will try another place next time to compare.
Pros: indoor pool (not shallow), nice beach access, proximity to good restaurants, breakfast included; mini fridge and sink in room
Cons: Small & busy lobby; small bathroom - door almost hits toilet; no lamp in bedroom; no place to rinse off feet at pool or beach;

Disappointed in my stay. Signs up for love remodeling, but the entire hotel could use a refresh. Don’t think I will book again there in Nags Head.
