Deplorable environment!
Deplorable conditions of hotel, outlets didn’t work, no smoke alarm just bare wires hanging, floor was disgusting and soft and squishy, walls were cracked and squishy. Sewer flies on the walls in the bathroom, windows were filled with inch thick dirt. Crickets cough between window and screen…..just don’t stay there, the building should be condemned…oh and it smelled like must moldy yuck!

Room did not look like the pictures. Walls separating at seams and the ceiling. AC united rusty and dirty. Room musky smelling. Left second day for another hotel. Manager didn't even ask way just took key and said "bye" Don't waste money on ocean front. There is no view.

Nice Oceanside spot
Convenient location right on the beach, and an easy walk to many Nags Head locations. Nothing fancy, but that’s not what you come here for. This place delivers on what they should; a good and clean room, working shower at the beach access, and a nice pool for off the red flags are out. If you’re looking for a nice spot right on the water, and one that doesn’t cost a fortune, this is it.

We liked that there was an efficiency room with space for 5 at an affordable rate. The room was very well cleaned and prepared for our stay. The staff was very friendly. The parking is very compact. If you have a large vehicle it will be difficult to park if they are full. The manager was kind enough to give me his spot out front since I have a large truck. I would stay again.

Amazing room and view
It was great. I went with my wife kids and parents. The suite was amazing. It had 2 bedrooms with a TV each, a living room with another tv and a fully working kitchen with all appliances. The hotel is in front of the beach and has a deck from where you can watch the sunrise and beach itself. It also has a Pier right next to it. Staff was friendly and helpful.
