John Yancey Oceanfront Inn

6/10 Okay

"It was okay"

Comfort Inn On the Ocean

4/10 Poor

"We purchased a pet friendly room with the policy stating that your dog was not to be left alone. However the people next to us left their dog alone repeatedly. He would how and bark and scratch and go crazy for hours. I ach day it happened we contacted the staff and they said they had left messages for them and the would fine them. That did nothing for us . Our distance was through the off and we couldn’t sleep at night when this family left the dog unattended. The staff didn’t do anything. Every time we called and after we had paid an extra $125 for a dog friendly room . They never offered to move us or the other daily or apologize or discount our stay. Very disoriented in their lack of ownership"

Colonial Inn Motel

2/10 Terrible

"This hotel is severely outdated, nowhere near handicap, accessible rooms were dirty, covered in sand whenever we walked in the first day the first night the TV didn’t work in our bedroom come to find out there’s also no air conditioners in the bedrooms. We left early from our stay and the hotel refused to refund us The rooms were terribly hot at night and then the hotel told me that TV is complementary so they had no reason to fix our TV first night. We were there also when the TV didn’t work the lady at the desk said that she would try to switch our rooms in the morning went to go try to do it in the morning. The owner told me that there was nothing we could do. Owner was also very rude. Whenever I was saying, I was not happy and very uncomfortable with our stay."

Holiday Inn Express Nags Head Oceanfront by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The view was amazing! The room was very clean and very roomier. Bed was so comfortable. Breakfast was delicious! We called ahead of time and stated that we would be a little late checking in. We got there around the time we told them and they had everything ready. Wonderful staff! Will stay here again!"
