"Our room had pretty textured walls and beautiful artwork. The furnishings were also high quality. Its a 3 minute walk to the beach, and within a few minutes drive of a mini-mart, ice cream place, and some restaurants. I couldn't figure out when checkout time was, but another guest told me 11am. Also the doors have # codes on them so you can check in without seeing anyone.

Top Nags Head Hotel Reviews

Mia's Boutique Hotel

8/10 Good

"Lovely staff, good location and reasonable enough price — a few minor issues that seem like they’d be easy and cheap to fix (the secondary lock on the door was snapped off, no iron or ironing board in the room, no full length mirror)."

Nags Head Beach Inn by KEES Vacations

4/10 Poor

"There was no way the room was cleaned, sand under the duvet, flat sheet and fitted sheet, suspicious old looking blood stains on the duvet and sheets, eye lashes on the floor,little curly hairs everywhere, we have shoulder length brown hair and my husband is a red head...light fixture above the shower head had exposed wires,and finally behind the toilet looks like it had a rust blow out..yes we have pictures..10/10 would not recommend, not worth the money, we left at 10:48 pm and came home.."

Comfort Inn South Oceanfront

6/10 Okay

"Room was clean. Elevators need major overhaul- never quite sure if the doors would open since it took a while after you got to the designated floor. Pool advertised but wasn’t open less than a week before Memorial Day. The hotel served its purpose but not sure we will stay again unless we have to (we actually had to stay there this time because it was the only place available)"
