Colonial Inn Motel

8/10 Good

"Great deck to enjoy to the view ocean anytime time of the day even if you have a city view room"

Tar Heel Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean, beds were very comfortable, 'kitchenette' area was great, convenient to shopping and other activities and parts of the outer banks. It was nice to have the pool on a very windy & hot day. One small concern was that the bathtub was a little slippery to step into."

Blue Heron Motel

8/10 Good

"Awesome location! And very friendly to our dog"

John Yancey Oceanfront Inn

8/10 Good

"The stay was a decent value. Excellent access to the beach - loved the little community porch facing the water. Hotel room had the basics we needed, nothing extra. The beds are uncomfortable - my partner was painfully stiff each day. The ice machine in our building was broken for the duration of our stay. The included breakfast was better than expected - boiled eggs, muffins, waffle making station and juices. Pool is far too cold to use in September, but was clean and kept up well. We had a private balcony, but it was within two feet of the ramp everyone uses for the beach. Overall, appreciated the beach proximity."

Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Nags Head

10/10 Excellent

"Only gripe was a consistent sewage smell in the parking lot by main entrance."
