The Sea Ranch Resort ★★★

"Great view of the ocean. OBX is older mom and pop establishments so it wont have the feel or amenities of the big hotel chains but it has what you need. Clean room, great beach access and a refreshing pool. Beach wasn't crowded and had lots of shells. Pool was older but clean, the surrounding facilities could use some TLC but we were never crowded at the pool. We saw the other posts about the elevator issues and the one elevator still was out of commission. We had the second level so it didnt affect us. There was no cleaning of the rooms which didnt affect us since we only had a 2 night stay and we wouldn't use it. Very reasonably priced. We didnt go to the bistro in the hotel but it seemed to offer a lot of great things."

Hilton Garden Inn Outer Banks/Kitty Hawk ★★★

Mia's Boutique Hotel ★★★

"The property is an old motel, but they've fixed it up as best they can. Still, they are limited in what they can do, so the bathrooms are small (tiny showers; no counters by the sink). The property is designed to be used by beach goers, so there is constant sand and critters on the floor. This comes with the territory, so it's not a criticism, but if these sorts of things bother you, you likely won't like the place. Mia's has done a great job with what they have, and this place is worth staying is you want beach access or are just passing through. Keep your expectations low and you will love it."

Days Inn by Wyndham Kill Devil Hills Oceanfront - Wilbur ★★★

"The price/performance ratio is very high, and it feels like a small house with all the necessary features. It is a few steps from the seaside, suitable for watching the sunrise in the morning, and it is not far from the Wrights brother memorial hall."

Hotel Manteo, Trademark Collection by Wyndham ★★★

The Sanderling ★★★★

"We traveled here to enjoy the area and amenities. Unfortunately the hotel had just been damaged by water and active water restoration was happening while we were there. It was smelly, loud and disgusting. Cannot believe we paid what we did to have to deal with this."

Pamlico Station Edgecamp ★★★

"This is a very unusual hotel. There is no lobby, no check-in desk, no people. The only interior spaces are the rooms themselves. After you book online, the hotel emails you a code to open the door to your assigned room. If you have any questions or concerns, you text a (very responsive) concierge. It's basically an Airbnb in the form of a hotel. I loved it. The rooms themselves are spacious and beautifully apportioned. Even the most basic room has a kitchen with a refrigerator, oven, and stove, plus a comfy couch, a television, and a dining area. The WiFi is strong and reliable. There is an outdoor wellness deck with a sauna, hot tub, and cold plunge. The whole place looks and feels spotless and brand new (because it is). The location and setting are fabulous. The beach is just blocks away. There's a pizzeria across the road. They offer a discount on the booking rate to North Carolina residents. If you're looking for an uncomplicated, no-fuss place to stay in Rodanthe, this is it."

Shutters on the Banks ★★★

"My wife and I went to the Outer Banks for a day and a half adventure that involved needing a hotel room. I chose shutters based on being located near one of the music venues we would be visiting. We are both free pleased with our stay. It was of course in the winter and off-season so we didn’t have any crowds anywhere which was perfect for us.    It was everything we needed and expected and nothing we didn’t need. It was perfect."

Hatteras Island Inn ★★

"Great price. Room was outdated but very clean and staff was very friendly. It was close to amenities. Very comfotable room. We would book again."
