If luxury not required, stay at the Outer Banks M.
This Motel has been in existence for many years and is currently undergoing some repairs/remodeling. Overall, the rooms were very clean and neat, with fridge and microwave. Location was right next to the beach, some units overlook the ocean. Compared to other locations, room rates were very reasonable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

It did what it needed to. Shower and a dry place to sleep. Unless you slept in the front porch area. We sat out it in to watch the storm that rolled in. Water leaked under the door and the ceiling out there leaked. The maids left a cute little envelope for tips on the fridge… that was placed under the list of things that the guest needed to do before check out. If I’m not mistaken, that was a list of things that the maid do everywhere else I have ever stayed. We ate 3 meals there and put all the dishes in the dish washer. So when we went to run it after it was all loaded. It became very apparent that the dishwasher didn’t work, and probably hasn’t worked in a very long time. And with a $50 fee for not doing the items on the check out list. There I was at 3 in the morning hand washing dishes. It’s not like I’m saying that there was some building roped off and probably shouldn’t be entered, or the beach front building/rooms you could literally fish off the deck cuz the waves go right up to the stilts that are holding the place up…. Oh wait. That’s all true too. But the fish cleaning station is present and worked great. But all in all. It’s the OBX, it’s suppose to be an adventure. It got the job done. And for the right price, I’d probably stay there again. (Lower price that is)

Yea.
There was a roach in the silverware, hardly any amenities, the staff was just a bunch of kids maybe 16 or 17. Its close to the beach, maybe too close! The layout was okay. They want you to clean your own room, threaten you with charges if you don't, but there is a maid service tip envelope on the same paper. For what? No. The best description is lazy. The buildings are good though.

Roaches
No tv all night, called about it not working and they said they were sending someone and no one came. Also there were cockroaches, I brought it to their attention and even brought one in a jar to show them. They said oh is just a palmetto but they’re not roaches. I’m sorry if you google it then you will find out they are roaches. Yuck!

Roach Motel
Unfortunately our stay was colored by the constant presence of at least three different types of cockroaches :( itty bitty ones on the cabinet, larger brown ones that crawl out seemingly from behind the fridge and under counter, and big ole black ones that absolutely covered all the railings and decking at night. Saw several of those inside as well, including in kids bedroom on the last night :( it was hard to relax and enjoy the evenings with these guys crawling over our feet and trying to get into everything. On the plus side, bedding and towels smelled clean, but there were a lot of issues here for $400/night. We feel cheated and sadly won’t be staying here again.

This hotel is very dated and looks like it. The room never cooled off even with the air conditioner set at 75 degrees the room never went below 77 degrees. We opened what windows we could and that made it comfortable. Out of 7 window 1 had a undamaged screen, 4 had no screens, 2 had rips and hole in them. 2 of the windows we couldn’t open or they fell out. We had to empty our own garbage and exchange our dirty towels for clean ones, by going to the office. The room was okay, but is in need of some professional repair work and updating. Some work has been done to it but it wasn’t done right. All in all it was tolerable, but the complex sure could use some professional repairs and clean up. We wouldn’t recommend it or stay again.
