Although this hotel is right on 12, it was very quiet. Pool was perfect. Location was a 2 minute walk to the beach and 5 to the National Park (Hattaras Lighthouse). Great place for the money.

Solid stay for the Price
This motel was as expected. It is no frills and a decent place for a night or so. It is older and shows the wear and tear of being a motel on the outer banks. It served us well for our one night stay.

Nice place and good value. Rooms were clean. Bed was fine. Rooms aren’t serviced during your stay so you have to go to office to get clean linens/more toliet paper but not a deal breaker. Check in was easy and attendant was friendly.

Good Enough
Great location, although not very walkable to the beach. Friendly staff. The place could use some fixing up and better cleaning though.
