by the sea

nice comfortable room by the ocean. We had a room on the side with a balcony, which was perfect because we could see the water and waves from the balcony with out having all the wind.

OK for one night.

Would not stay there again. It's an old hotel. It was probably OK in the seventies, but by today's standards it is not up to par. It was the cheapest on the beach and there is a reason. You get what you pay for. I should have spent $20-$40 more and got a nice room at the Ramada. Oh well, live and learn!

Nice Location for the Price

Celebrated my anniversery here with out the kids. The overall experience was very enjoyable. The beach access was not crowded, the pool was clean and the staff were very nice Would definitely recommend this hotel for a less expensive alternative at the Outer Banks.

They have two buildings. The four-story addition is pet free and smoke free, providing good accommodation for the price.

Great location for Outer Banks Vacation

We came here to be close to go see The Lost Colony on Roanoke Island, and being close to the ocean was lovely. The room was a bit musty. We had to walk up to the second floor to get to the beach -it was a lot of steps.
