We enjoyed being within walking distance to public access to the beach. It is also very close to the highway and restaurants and shops.
There were no staff at the facility, check in and out were done by a video kiosk without good directions on how to interact with their staff. The bathroom was very small which would have been ok except there was only one half roll of toilet paper in the room. There were ladies there to clean rooms at different times during the day but they never said hello or asked if we needed anything. That would have been nice. The lack of staff overnight was concerning in the event that there had been an emergency.

I don’t know why people are complaining, in some reviews? It is a bare bones budget hotel, with a great location, literally 5 minutes from the beach, and has a full market across the street, and a restaurant literally next door. You have to ask daily for replacement towels, and this not the Wyndham Suites. The staff is more than accommodating, and you just have to be polite. The check in process is remote, but fast and effective. 90% of the time is spent at the beach and site seeing. The rooms are clean & nice. If you want to pay $499 a day, then knock yourself out.

Loved having refrigerator with a small freezer. Loved parking right in front of room.(1st floor) Loved the location(across the street from Jeanette's pier. Loved shops within a couple of blocks (Wings etc.) Loved the walking strip on the left for some exercise with dog. Loved the bed very comfortable. From start to finish Yuggu at the front desk took care of all our needs. Room was very clean. What a fabulous stay! Do go to the Christmas store in Manteo. Only 9 min drive from hotel. Thanks Seahouse Inns for a memorial stay. Dusty & Esther
I didn't want to leave. Lol

Liked the location, the view from the second floor balcony, the cleanliness and comfort of the room, and the offer to extend our stay at a discount. We loved how close we were to the beach and Jennette's Pier, Sam and Omie's restaurant and the market deli, plus we were able to charge our electric car at the outlet mall a just couple of blocks away.
I would have enjoyed more contact with the staff, but appreciate that they continue what are probably the lessons learned from the pandemic and were not intrusive in any way.

I liked how clean and easy access to the beach this place is! Literally walking distance to go to the Pier. I would recommend, and will plan on staying here again! The value was great considering we went during Spring Break. Love that you can also check in 24 hours using their kiosk and someone is going to be there to assist you which is terrific!
The only thing I didn’t liked is the other guest who was staying there. Only because we were in the ground floor and the 2nd floor guest were making a lot of noises and we could hear every thing.

Location. Rooms were ok. Beds very comfy. Shower and towels very good. Easy parking. Man at front desk very nice and willing to assist with any questions/issues. Locks on doors seemed secure. TV worked great. Not much view from 2nd floor ocean view but it was ok. Room was large. Coffee maker worked fine. Curtains are black out and seem newish... Just wish the place was cleaner and old dated furniture was not there.
Hallways not very clean Floors, walls and railings. In room, I wore flip flops the entire time. Floor seemed a little dirty. Furniture old and dusty. Lamps not working.

of course the location. directly across from Jeannette’s fishing pier. also a nice beach with restrooms and handicap ramp. The hotel itself is an older one, so don’t expect to have a 5 star luxury stay. But it is definitely not a dump. it’s comfortable and has select rooms and cabins for everyone with just about any needs , pet friendly, and Handicap. We always enjoy our stay there. - the staff is helpful and friendly. Worth the trip. Off season prices are ✅
The only kind of bad-ish part, was we got the last room. of course in the third level. no elevator for people ? yes one for baggage! Arthritic legs and hips didn’t appreciate that. But survived nice view and breeze at the top

The location was amazing. Store across the street that will have everything you need from groceries, hardware, cookware, drinks, deli. Also walkable restaurants, beach access & an amazing peir to fish off of! Honestly, If you wanted to park and not leave for a whole week, you wouldn't have to everything is within walking distance here. I also heard nothing of my neighbors in the hotel was packed, so the walls are solid!
The shower was a bit small & I woke up one morning with the water not working, but as soon as I was about to report it the water came back on. So I noticed it not working for about 6 mins. Not sure if this is just a thing in the outer banks

The location was absolutely perfect we love the restaurant right next door they have some amazing food. The pier is directly across the street so we can go right to the beach. We rode our motorcycles down so that made it really good for us to be able to go straight across without having to carry all of our stuff. I love the little heart Arrangement that was left on the bed that was perfect it was our anniversary weekend. Thank you
Our TV was not working most of our visit the channels keep coming in and out when they were coming in. My husband suggests putting paper towels in the rooms so that we're able to clean up behind ourselves. My husband also felt like it would be easier if someone was at the front desk to be able to speak to you when you need something.

We loved it. Have been there before a few yrs ago and was nice then,staying in one of their cottages. Loved being on the 1st floor this time also and parking in front of our room. I'm assuming that I was speaking to the owner at the front desk while checking in. Very nice gentleman. Room was clean. We were very comfortable. It was a great room.
It's not that I didn't like anything,just disappointed that there was no iron or ironing board. Otherwise,we were very satisfied. We will be back next year or later this summer.
