Outer Banks Inn

Overall, a very nice smaller hotel in the Outer Banks. Close to many attractions, the beach, etc. While the rooms are not huge, what are you really using them for? Showering and sleeping! Very friendly staff… Breakfast in the mornings is basic, but still very good! Cereals, bagels, mini-​muffins, waffles (toaster), coffee, orange juice and milk. One of our towels was a little frayed, but it was still clean and served it’s purpose. Would definitely stay again next time we’re down in that area.

My husband and I visited this inn on our anniversary recently and at first glance it looked great but once we got into our room the problems started. The bed and pillows were extremely uncomfortable and we didn’t get much sleep. The room was extremely tiny and my sinuses were so stuffed I couldn’t breathe. The room smelled of mold/​mildew, which is probably why my sinuses were stuffed and I couldn’t breathe, and I didn’t even want to sleep in the bed. The next morning the «breakfast» was horrible. They offered the bare minimum. Stale cereal, the coffee ran out twice, and their carbs (waffles, bagels, muffins, etc…) were in a plastic container that looked like it hadn’t been cleaned. Staff were very friendly but other than that it was not worth the price to us.

Great little hotel in the Outer Banks. The staff is very friendly, prices are reasonable, rooms are only a little dated but very clean and the beds are comfortable. There’s fresh cookies in the lobby and they have a little courtesy beach shuttle golf cart. The receptionist recommended a great seafood place just down the road.
I would totally stay here again, it’s close to everything, comfortable at a good price.

The Inn was just what we needed when we wanted to stay the night before our weekly rental was ready. We wanted to avoid bridge traffic, and this place was a steal with the Unilocal deal that we had.

Nice location and friendly staff. We appreciate their coffee in the morning and warm cookies in the afternoon. It’s a short easy walk to the beach, or hop on the shuttle they provide for free.
The rooms are spacious and clean. The pool is small, but we don’t care as we are here for other OBX activities. The sand dunes, beach, and many restaurants and shops are close by.

I’ve never been to the Outer Banks before so we were really looking forward to it and since we went in March, the prices were very reasonable.
Pros: The rooms were decent size.
Great location, able to walk to beach.
Very friendly staff.
A lot of nearby attractions.
Cons: We requested 3 rooms together and were told that would not be a problem yet upon check in our rooms were not together, 2 together and 1 across the hall and down 3 doors.
Very loud, we could hear other guests until the wee hours of the night. I was near the ice machine and it woke me several times a night. The other room was next to the outside stairs and people going up/​down kept us up at night also.
Workers that were staying at the hotel were drinking beer and smoking in the back parking lot until all hours of the night. I did not feel safe coming/​going from the hotel after dark. We complained about this to the front desk and she said she would go talk to them about it.
Our key cards were turned off after 10am even though check out isn’t until 11am. This made for us being locked out while making several trips from the room to the car packing up to leave. Had to go to the front desk to have them reactivate the key cards to finish clearing out the rooms.
All in all, this is a nice hotel (albeit old with very little insulation to buffer noise) in a great location but obviously the cons outweigh the pros and we will make another choice when going back to the Outer Banks.

I have been traveling every summer from Philadelphia to the outer banks for the past 24 years and funny as it may seem I had never stayed in a motel or inn while there — we’ve always rented a house. So when it came time to seek out a hotel to extend my regular weeklong vacation the last week in August I was stumped. I checked out the rates for many of the hotels that had been there for as long as I could remember but everything was priced more than I wanted to pay for 1 night. I came across the Outer Banks Inn’s website and I honestly didn’t remember seeing the place on my travels before. So I figured it looked pretty decent and I found a great deal for the night and off me and my fiancé went. When we arrived I was pleasantly surprised at how at home I felt when we pulled up. You could tell immediately the owners cared about the place and wanted you to feel at home. The woman at the desk was seriously one of the nicest people I’ve ever met! We checked in quickly and then we were off to our room. The room was just right for us — It was very clean, had a nice — newer tv (a must for my fiancé), free wi-​fi, fridge, was decorated nicely and the bed was pretty comfy too. I started to check out some info on my phone as to where we should head for dinner and I checked in on Unilocal!and to my surprise an offer popped up for a FREE bottle of wine just for checking in at the Outer Banks Inn! I wasn’t sure if this was for real so I went down to the front desk and asked the woman and she was like you bet you get a free bottle of wine! Red or white? We were on our way out to dinner but when we came back she had the wine, 2 glasses and a corkscrew waiting for us. Seriously how nice of a gesture is that? The Inn is also in a great location — within walking distance to shopping, food (including OBX Brewing Station), and very close to the beach! My only complaint is the 3 flights of narrow stairs (if you are on the 3^rd floor) — it’s a bit rough carrying tons of bags and luggage and dealing with other guests going up and down at the same time.
All in all this was a great experience and I would highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a night away or a long weekend. The staff was great, the room was great, overall an awesome experience! Thanks Outer Banks Inn for the wonderful experience — I will definitely be back again within the coming years!

The outer banks inn never ceased to impress my husband and friends. During our time there we were exposed to nothing short of excellent customer service and hospitality on part of the staff — absolute awesome experience and three thumbs up for the complimentary coffee and cookies.

i cannot say enough good things about this place! i have been meaning to write this for awhile (seeing as i stayed there in November) so I’ve forgotten the womans name who was so helpful! My friend and i were on a road trip from Charlotte back home to Massachusetts when we decided to try to find a last minute place to spend the night. they could not have been more accommodating and sweet. she even helped us upgrade to two queen sized beds for the same price as just one! i happened to check in on foursquare after we were settled in and to my surprise they check in special there was a complimentary bottle of wine! we could not have been more excited! they even went through the trouble of keeping breakfast out for us because we said we thought we would have slept through it! all in all we had a great experience and i would stay again asap!
