Run Down but Great Location
The location of this hotel is great. You’re really just paying to be walking distance to the beach because the rooms are not worth the price.The condition of the property is poor but being so close to the beach it’s probably difficult to maintain. We had a two bedroom apartment but the wall separating the two rooms was extremely thin. I specifically asked for a quiet room and was given the opposite. Our bedrooms in room 122 overlooked the street and dumpsters. The garbage trucks dumped the dumpsters every other day at 4:45am and was horribly loud. That room is also by the stairs and pool so people we had to keep the curtains closed at all times. Think John Candy’s house in “Summer Rental”. The bathroom needed a deep cleaning and the whole property felt dingy. I did not complain to the front office because we were all settled in and nobody wanted to ask to move. We had plenty of towels, the refrigerator is huge and has a nice big freezer. The pool was great and the location is fantastic. We chose this property for the price, the two bedrooms, and it being dog friendly. Even though there is a lot of foot traffic with the pier next door I never felt unsafe even when taking the dog out alone after dark.

Enjoyed the proximity to the beach. Couldn't get one of the TVs to turn on but there were 2 others so it was okay. Appreciated that there were box fans in the bedrooms since ac unit was in living room and didn't really reach into bedrooms very well.

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.

Excellente localisation, près de la plage. Les chambres sont toutefois défraîchies avec une forte odeur d’humidité. Personne n’est présent à l’accueil, qui est assuré par un kiosque automatique qui fonctionne mal.

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.
