Top Nags Head Hotel Reviews

Mia's Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Had a great time and stay!! Will definitely be back!!"

Comfort Inn South Oceanfront

10/10 Excellent

"The staff and everybody are phenomenal. It is a pleasure going there. We visit there once every six weeks for 3 to 5 days and we go there only because the staff is fantastic. The breakfast is great. The people are wonderful easy access to the beach and to anything that we wanna do."

Tar Heel Motel

10/10 Excellent

"We love staying here. The tar heel rates are very reasonable, especially compared to other places. Its very clean. Pool area is very clean and a nice setup. I love the location. Pulblic beach access is directly across the road in front of property. Its close walking distance to the pier. There's a restaurant right beside property thats delicious. The outlet mall, Wings and a very nice miniature golf place are right across street behind the property. The location is awesome! Very convenient to alot of things. You wont regret staying here!"

The First Colony Inn

8/10 Good

"The facility was quaint and very nice. The grounds would have been beautiful had they been groomed. The grass was tall and there were areas that had been neglected for quite some time. The person at the front desk seemed to be there out of necessity. They did not have a cook and graciously gave us a voucher for breakfast at a local restaurant. This has the potential to be a top star inn but I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see it for sale. We did enjoy the room which as large and nicely furnished."
