8/10 Good
"It was my third time staying at this hotel. All in all it’s a great location. In walking distance to the pier, small grocery store, directly in front of hotel, and a very short walk to the best breakfast in Nagshead. The only real complaint I have is the person above my room stomping around hours in the evening and hours in the morning. Will never stay there again if I can’t get a room without someone above me."

"Indoor pool was clean, fairly large, and it opens at 8am. Property is maybe a mile from the Wright Brothers birthplace of aviation. If you go to the Wright Brothers museum be sure not to miss the North Carolina sculpture on the back side of the monument. The hotel has a very good breakfast buffet which is available for a small extra charge. The walkway to the beach has an outdoor shower."
