Small, just enough for two. Close to the beach and not a busy area. The mildew/mold on the bath was a major turn off. Futon couch was uncomfortable but the bed was soft and I slept well. Parking is tight but it’s located on hotel property. Hard to understand employees, accent, but we’re nice. I’d stay again but wouldn’t go thru Expedia. Found out they charge me more so wasn’t a deal I thought it was.

This is an excellent budget motel right across from Jeanette’s Pier. Right next door is the always delicious Sam and Omies for breakfast-dinner. Across the street is the local market with everything from kitchen supplies to wine to medicine and everything in between. The motel itself has seen some wear both from age and the ocean air. It’s perfect for a quick trip but I would not encourage using the kitchenette. The wiring was a bit concerning on our stove and there doesn’t appear to be any fire suppression system in the cottages. I did note the smoke detector but the cottages are attached to others rooms and it concerned us whether our neighbors might use their appliances. Some upgrades I’d suggest are tile flooring and pvc paneling on the walls as well as removing metal fixtures where possible. However, we loved our stay and will come back!! Definitely recommend for families on a budget needing a great beach access!

This is a really nice little motel and the location is absolutely fantastic. We stayed in one of the cottages and my only issue was the size of the shower but I’m 6’4” so take that with a grain of salt. I definitely want to go back to nags head and I’ll definitely be staying here again. The prices are great, the location is awesome, and the staff were really friendly and helpful

The bed was surprisingly comfortable! We always had hot water even tho 3 of us had to shower. More dishes and utensils would have been helpful, along with a dish cloth to clean them and a couple of hot pads. I would stay there again though.

A nice budget motel. Rooms are clean and efficient with everything you need; however, a double room is tight with bed next to air conditioner. No elevator so be prepared to walk 2-3 flights of vertical stairs if you do not have a floor level unit.

Check-in by kiosk. The overall building is old and dirty. The room was not bad but smells chemical detergent. The only good thing is the location. 1-2 min walk to the beach and there are markets and restaurants nearby.

I have stayed at this hotel many times over the past decade, both before and after the change in management, and have always appreciated its convenient location by Jeanette's Pier and across from Calhoun's Market, which has a fantastic deli. Unfortunately, my most recent stay was the worst by far. In the past, I've found the rooms to be well-maintained and clean, but this time, the room was dingy, unclean, and in desperate need of updates. The tile floors were cracked, and the tiles shifted as we walked across them. When we arrived, the sheets were already sandy, and I had to sweep the room myself because it hadn't been done. We had to track down housekeeping just to get clean linens, and there was even a roach on the ceiling. The closet, which was pine, had a strong mildew smell. The bathroom was tiny, and both the shower and toilet didn't work well. To make matters worse, the guests in the room next to us were a group of 20-year-olds who partied all night, making it nearly impossible for our baby to sleep. While the room was offered at a great rate, by the time we had to find housekeeping for linens, buy our own pillows and blankets because the hotel's were not clean, and purchase a white noise machine to drown out the noise, I realized I could have spent a little more elsewhere and actually enjoyed a relaxing vacation. In the past, this hotel has been a reliable choice, but after this experience, I'm not sure I would return.

Good place to stay in OBX.
Good spot on the south end of the beach, close to jennets pier. Nice volleyball net, wish someone wanted to play. Parking can be a little difficult. Parallel parking was the only thing I didn't like, every thing else was good and I will stay there again if I need to.
