My family and I have stayed here multiple times and we've always had a DECENTLY good stay... However, this time things were different!! There were unsavory individuals smoking and drinking alcohol outside, staring at my wife. The security chain was broken on our door, so we had to put luggage and furniture against it to make our daughter feel safe!! Not cool!!! 😳

The only thing good about this place is it had a very comfortable bed. The water pressure was low and the drainage was poor so water did not drain for a while after using the shower. At 4AM we were awoken by the trash truck to empty the dumpsters right outside of our door. We were very glad we only booked 1 night.

First time ever staying here. Manteo is a really cool little town. And Roanoke Island in general is awesome. I only stayed here 1 night and really had no complaints except that checking in through a live Webcam kiosk was a odd and the volume on the kiosk is very low and unable to turn up so it's difficult to hear what their employee is saying.
