We stayed in a King oceanfront room that was very well furnished and beautifully decorated! The view was gorgeous and the complimentary breakfast was delicious-an added value! Loved the fresh cookies at 8pm each night. Hot tub and indoor pool were also very nice and added to our stay. I would stay here again and highly recommend!

Very clean room and property. Have a yummy breakfast, 6pm wine gathering and 8pm chocolate chip cookies. Easy beach access. Minutes from tons of shopping and food. Highly recommended the off-season…prices are a steal and the whole OBX experience has shorter lines and way less crowded.

Almost everything was perfect. Friendly service, clean room, good indoor pool and hot tub, free breakfast. Only suggestion is change the breakfast to be buffet style like most other hotels, rather than having the same lady who's making the food also serving the food. Food tasted good though.

We love it here!

We stayed here about 6 years ago and it hasnt changed a bit but in a good way. Even though a lot of different employees at reception they are great personalities and just so sweet. Only thing id change is the breakfast. It was the same food everyday after 3 days we were sick of it.

Great little gem

Great place to stay! The little extras -popcorn, cookies, etc. and the friendliness of the staff made out stay very pleasant. The breakfast was on par with a great variety of foods and Janette was so friendly in serving up the warm dishes. Wish we could’ve stayed longer. ps…loved the view from our balcony!

Convenient location, close to restaurants and shopping. Nice spot on the beach. Had a nice trip. No issues at all. The popcorn and cookies were a treat for the kids. Breakfast was good. Pool was clean. So glad the hotel has a no smoking policy because if someone is out on their balcony smoking and you are on your balcony you could smell it and it would definitely be a nuisance.

The stay was very pleasant.The front desk staff was so accommodating and very friendly and the manager is outstanding. The lady doing the breakfast in the morning was very nice as well, and the breakfast was very good, so much to choose from! Our room vaw very nice, pool side is the way to go.....the best of both worlds because we could see the ocean as well.
