The room was crawling with roaches not just one or two but they were everywhere. I killed over a dozen of them in the first few hours of being here. If it wasn't for the infestation of roaches i would have been happy with the room.

The people in unit next to us had a dog who barked continually when left alone. Since this property has no attending staff this went on without intervention.

Access to the beach. Close to Hatteras ferry. The swimming pool is in need of maintenance and upkeep. It would nice if they replaced the boardwalk over the dune to the beach.

I liked the coded access. Makes it simple. Don't know what to do if you have any issues though. Everything was clean. The beds were a little too soft for me, of course everybody has different firmness for them. Overall We were very satisfied.

The place doesn’t look that great from the outside but inside it has a bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom. Everything you need for a quick stay. And good price.

Beach was right over the dune from the property. Safe, easy to access and quiet. Not very fancy, very little ‘staff’ around, but we weren’t looking for anyone to take care of anything for us, so that was ok. Bed was comfy and we had plenty of room. More chairs/seating inside would be nice and an additional lamp or two. Having the little kitchenette was delightful. Not pristine or new, but comfy enough for a brief beach stay.

Last minute trip to the outer banks. Hotel check in was easy. The tv had a black dead spot on the left side but that was fine as we were there to enjoy the beach

No frills but a few steps to the sand
Right next to the beach which was fantastic and a huge plus. The motel is bit run down. No office so check in was by key code which was fine but was not clear in the communication leading up to the stay. Beds are noisy and bouncy/weak. Pillows and comforter were great and fluffy. No doap in hand soap dispenser but we brought our own luckily. Keurig machine was high end. Overall we'd stay again but definitely set your expectations accordingly.

Mediocre at best
Stayed for a night while waiting to check in to our Cabin nearby. It’s basic and in the beach but beds aren’t great. Saw a couple if roaches too. Seemed safe for leaving car full of travel stuff. Had to call and wait to get my room number and passcode to get in. Probably wouldn’t stay again.

The location, the room setup, beach access, pool, kitchen, etc. was very nice. HOWEVER, the presence of ROACHES was disgusting. This morning when the lights were turned on they were everywhere in the room. The bathroom and kitchen were especially infested. Had we noticed upon arrival we would not have stayed the night. I can accept the damp and filthy carpet but roaches is toooo much. Would never rebook nor recommend a place that has roaches. This motel had the potential to become my families new favorite spot but at $254 for a one night stay I think it’s fair to expect a clean and bug free room.

AC unit in the window was super loud, hotel has you throw your own trash in the dumpster. The beach access was awesome and the pool was nice. Overall its a decent place to stay but has a few areas where it could improve

Property was right by the water, pool was very nice to relax. Ceiling is a bit thin if you stay on the first floor, but other than that great stay! Staff over the phone was great and helpful when the original code was not working.

The only thing good was the location. There was no soap in the shower, the kitchenette had no amenities, there was not a single chair in the 2 bedroom suite. There were no curtains, there were blinds but not room darkening so it was very bright early in the morning, plus the porch light lined up with the window so it was bright all night long! We made coffee the first morning and there were big legs in a cup. There was n trash can in the room. There were people shouting and swearing on the balcony and with no office there was no one to go to. Way over priced, very disappointed. I will not use Expedia or Keas ever again!

This motel is very basic and dated but over all clean. They do allow dogs and the room above had a barking dog which was a little annoying. But the access to the beach was awesome. Also the other guest were respectful. I would stay again.

They lack on sending the check in information, since they don’t have a concierge office. I waited until 4:30 and nothing, I had to call them to get the room number and code to access it, I ended up checking at 5pm. Also, they should install cameras in the premises as a safety feature for the customers.

No frills!
Positive : Check in was seamless with preprogrammed lock and communication was excellent. The beds were very comfortable and linens were clean . Shower was hot. Centrally located in Hatteras. Negative: The room had a bad smell. It smelled like dirty feet. The carpet appeared to have a sticky feel. The physical space was very bland, with no curtains and very minimal decor. It had a simple vertical blind. The furniture looked very dated. There were no closets and the Wi-Fi password was not supplied to us in a welcome email nor was it actually visible anywhere within the hotel room. In one of the emails sent, I was asked to take out the trash! Having spent a fair amount of money for a one night stay, I wouldn’t think I should be expected to do chores on my exit.
