Just planned an impromptu trip to Hatteras and found Tower Circle and were so glad they were able to accommodate us! The facilities were great and kept my pup nice and cool when she needed a break from the beach and the owners were really nice and were flexible for us with a slightly earlier check-in and great communication the whole time. The rooms were clean and well equipped with a fridge, microwave and coffee maker and fresh linens.

Simple, comfortable, clean and a great location. Hunter was awesome and the whole place had a family feel.
The water pressure in the shower left something to be desired. Adding more outdoor seating would also be awesome.

The room was absolutely beautiful. Loved the feel of the room. Very clean. Loved the kitchen, and it was fully stocked with dishes and cookware.
The area, plus the storm and the waves. We woke up to water and flooding all around us. We had to wade out to our car.

Proximity to beach was fabulous. Room was very well appointed, spotless and bed was comfy. Felt newly renovated. Very nice!
Room definitely needs a table to sit at!! If you want fancy, might not work for some as outside a tad funky. Neighbors behind the apartments a tad messy. But hey I was there for a night and the beach so can’t complain!!!

The beds are amazing! We loved the layout of the room and the extra touches (like the ceiling) that made it quaint and cozy and not like a basic hotel room! The location is fantastic! We loved being so close to the ocean and being able to see the lighthouse glow at night!
Nothing!

It is an older motel and it is not fancy but has it's own charm.
The weather did not cooperate, but that way it goes sometimes.

It was clean and located near all we wanted to do, the roads need work, especially going to the beach
the only down side was we wanted to make coffee in the morning, when we opened the coffee machine to put our coffee in there was an old filter with grounds that was full of mold, yuk, no coffee there

There were extra touches - porch swing, hammock, landscaping. The staff was great; available & wanting us to enjoy our stay.
Maybe 1 more chair in room.

We love everything about the Tower Circle Motel. Always clean, the vibe is great, short 3 minute walk to the beach. Has a laid-back, local charm without all the tourist traffic and chaos.

The location was great. Walking distance to the beautiful beach. Room and the bathroom were very clean and the staff was responsive and helpful.
There was no table in the room and not many breakfast places in the neighborhood.
