Top Nags Head Hotel Reviews

Mia's Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice stay. Parking is a little tight but that’s to be expected."

Dolphin Oceanfront Motel

8/10 Good

"The manager was friendly when we arrived. The parking is a little tight, but we managed just fine. The rooms are fairly sound proof, or I had respectable neighbors lol only would hear dogs barking. The beach access was what brought me to this location for our large dogs that love the beach, saves me so much time cleaning my vehicle after!! And a hose to conveniently clean off before going onto your apartment. I would recommend a little heavier blanket to throw onto the beds as the sheet and top blanket were thin and I’m a cold person that likes to wrap up in a blanket while the AC cranks a cool 66! The ac worked very well too. Will definitely be rebooking here again when we plan our family trips with the dogs."

Comfort Inn South Oceanfront

6/10 Okay

"I was disappointed in the hotel. There needs to be a lot of upgrades. The hallway carpets were in bad shape. The bathroom, even though it was clean, the shower stall needs to be replaced. The balcony flooring painting was peeling and needs to be redone. The elevator didn’t feel safe and was dirty. Overall, the entire hotel needs to have a major facelift. I don’t think I’ll be staying there again."

Sea Foam Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Our 2nd floor room was beachfront. The Nags Head Outlet was within walking distance as well as a huge "beach" store. The Sea Foam is an older historical motel that was recently sold. Yes, it is in need of repair and updating, however, it was clean, the beds were comfortable, and decent water pressure. It fit our needs. Word is that the new owners have big plans."

Tar Heel Motel

10/10 Excellent

"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. But the insides of the doors don't have slide locks, so we were worried about someone being able to enter if they found out the code."
