Welcome rest stop on the way to the Outer Banks.

We stay here overnight on our way to North Carolina Beaches. The staff is always accomodating and friendly.The rooms are well cleaned, and the beds are comfy. Breakfast is so-so, but there are other nearby options if that is important to you. There is a trolley ride around town, which the kids love. Historic downtown is within walking distance, with lots of restaurants and activities to do.

Horrible

Hotel is in bad shape. Elevator was sticky. Room smelled, had smokers in it. Did not feel safe in that particular area. Homeless / shady people there. Then a domestic dispute near us, screaming at 5:15 am. Police were called. I wouldn’t even post this on your website as an option.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
Pros: The room itself is very clean and colorful. The A/C was icy cold. It was quiet. Dowtown is walkable and 5 blocks awaywith really good restuarants with outdoor closed-pedestrian street seating. Convenient to the quaint dowtown area. Cons: The exterior of the hotel is aged and gives the impression that the rooms would be likewise but fortunately the rooms are brighly colorful and clean. The people walking int he immediate area can seem suspect......as in a bit "rough" looking or "off" due to alcohol or substance use, hence at times it can seem slightly sketchy. If you need a cheap hotel, clean,convenient to nice places to eat and coffee shops.....book it
