Great stay.
Great hotel and was very affordable (we went during the off season). We had a dune view balcony but you could still sometimes see part of the water so that was a plus. Beach access right from the parking lot. Breakfast was AWESOME. One of the best continental breakfasts I’ve had and the staff was very nice.

Average
My stay at the hotel was average. I can’t say anything was horrible. The bed was a little too hard for my liking. My room was oceanfront which was a plus. The couch was old and could stand being replaced. But any stay in the Outer Banks is a good stay!

Fair-Good
I would rate this hotel as fair-good. I will try another place next time to compare.
Pros: indoor pool (not shallow), nice beach access, proximity to good restaurants, breakfast included; mini fridge and sink in room
Cons: Small & busy lobby; small bathroom - door almost hits toilet; no lamp in bedroom; no place to rinse off feet at pool or beach;

Disappointed in my stay. Signs up for love remodeling, but the entire hotel could use a refresh. Don’t think I will book again there in Nags Head.

Hotel was nice but the heating wasn't very good. It was hard to control the thermostat to keep the room comfortable.

Not bad
We had no hot water in the bathroom. It was lukewarm at best. Also, there was sand on the bathroom floor. This was there when we checked in so it wasn’t from us. Elevators are super slow

Beautiful view but okay room
Okay stay. Beautiful view on the 5th floor oceanfront. Check in was 4pm exactly. I tried to check in 3pm but front desk said room was not ready. Once we received our room number there was someone else in the room when we entered. Front desk apologized and adjusted our stay. We received another room quickly. This room had a very strong odor. I didnt report right away as we were ready to get settled from our journey. But when I called the front desk the next morning, the customer service team was accommodating. A desktop machine to purify the room was placed in our room while we were gone. This made a world of difference. We were able to enjoy the remaining stay without the smell.
Otherwise Great location. Close to restaurants and shopping. Great housekeeping staff. Outdated furniture.
