Happy we stayed

Scarborough was a pleasant, clean, and quiet place to stay. It had a fridge and microwave, so you couldn't cook there. It was average size, but we made due. It's on the main road in OBX, so very close to everything, very handy. The manager, Dill, was extremely friendly and helpful. He was very accommodating. It was a nice place to stay plus reasonably priced, we were very satisfied.

Checking in and out was easy. We were upgraded to a private cabin room with a king bed by the owner, which was unexpected but much appreciated. It was clean and the bed was comfy. Would stay again.

Very Bad Experience

We didn't even stay here. The man at the front desk was very rude and unaccommodating. Room was very dirty, bed bugs and awful smell! We left and didn’t even stay and he refused to refund us.

Worried about 2nd reservation on 12/18.

There was no one to assist with check in. The kiosk did not work. When we finally got an emplyee, we were shown 2 separate rooms that were not cleaned. We were finally given 2 separate clean rooms at no additional charge.

Upon arrival, within office hours, there was no staff available and their kiosk wasn't working. I had to call and wait on someone to arrive. Check in after that was quick. I had room 11 which was right off the main street so was a bit noisy, also had noticed a hole in the wall near the A/C so that also let in the cool air. They had a humidifier in the room, but was noisy. No curtains so if light bothers you when you sleep, bring a mask. The room was nice and cozy, a living area and separate bedroom. Had a walk in shower, fridge, and microwave. Nice location, close to restaurants, gas station, convenient store. Would stay again, but would rather have a room further from the street.

On the instructions we received, we were to check in at 3:00 p.m. No one was there. We waited and then texted them. No response. Finally, they did respond and said they would be there "shortly." Finally, at 4:25 p.m. they showed up and checked us in. They did give us a discount for the inconvenience. Then they put two charges on our credit card which we didn't authorize. One has been resolved and one is still pending. They claim to have no knowledge of these charges.

The Scarborough Inn looks nice enough from the outside. Like many of the small inns in this town, it has an electronic kiosk that guests are supposed to use. Unfortunately, however, the kiosk was out of order. So I wasn’t able to check in. And, unlike the inn where I ultimately stayed, the Scarborough Inn didn’t have any staff on location to assist guests even though it was still in the afternoon when I tried to check in. To add insult to injury, instead of promptly refunding the money for the room that I wasn’t able to use through no fault of my own, the Scarborough Inn decided to contest my request for a refund. I cannot recommend making a reservation at this establishment.
