First time back in 10 years. The only changes we noticed were for the better. Food was excellent and the staff professional. Will definitely come again. Beach access is a short walk away. Glad we went in the off season, traffic and the crowds increase dramatically in the summer

The front desk clerk seemed resentful to have to deal with people. Room was filthy and old. Keep away!

Inn is very unique with whimsical gardens on a historic property. Lovely wrap around porch with various chairs to sit and relax. Breakfast in the morning is a continental breakfast and a hot made to order plate. You are assigned to the breakfast room by time slots and the room itself is very quaint and cozy. The same room is used for the afternoon social. To get to the beach you have to cross a fairly busy street and climb stairs up and over a small sand hill. They provide beach chairs which you can wear like a backpack. Since the property is very old, the rooms reflect this as well. Our room was very dark and musty smelling which we attributed to the very old carpet on the floor. Beach, sand, water and carpet do not go together. The bathroom reflected the age as well. The air conditioning worked superbly, thankfully.

We enjoyed our stay. Good location, attractive property, nicer than staying at a chain. It's a bit faded and less attractive than the website shows -- closer to a busy road, some mold in the shower, a slow bathroom sink drain. The bed was large and comfortable. Our assigned breakfast time (we were not expecting this) was too late for our plans, so we skipped it, though other reviewers say it's very good. The landscaping is lovely! We'd probably stay somewhere else next time.

I liked the breakfast and afternoon social.
I think the room needs a bench upon which suitcases can be placed. Also the bathroom needs a table to place miscellaneous toiletries. Drapes at all the windows would provide more privacy. Right now there are blinds but they don’t hang close enough to the window.

This would be a 5 star if they just cleaned it up a little bit, and used an indoor pesticide. We were welcomed by what I believed to be a brown recluse spider, and I had a wonderful response from the manager who was able to put us in another room. The bathrooms were especially in need of cleaning. The shower curtain had black mold on it and the box of soap in shower was wet? Sink could really use some cleaning as there was crap that could simply be scrubbed off. The first room head of bed also leaned downward, and the coffee mugs were filthy. I would love this place if it were just cleaned properly and for goodness sakes replace the shower curtain. Ew…

Great stay at this historic hotel! The staff was friendly and helpful. While there is no elevator, there are no more than 2 flights of stairs so it wasn’t bad to take our luggage to the top rooms. They are not allowed to add an elevator due to local governmental regulations for historic buildings. These rooms allowed us to see the ocean from a distance. The hotel was equipped with a nice pool and a trail to the ocean. The gourmet breakfast was a delight!

Loved my stay at First Colony Inn! The property is beautiful and it has a great path to the beach which is wonderful. Breakfast is very nice and so is the afternoon wine and snacks selection. This place is highly recommended if you’re planning a trip to The Outer Banks.
