Colonial Inn

We really were pleasantly surprised at how quaint and clean our room was. It had charming characteristics of its age (I think 1947?), and gave cozy vibes. The decorative towels left for us on each bed was a nice touch. The kiosk check in was quick and smooth. I was in and out of the office in 5 minutes with room key cards and car pass. We spent a lot of time at the beach & exploring the outer banks each day and returned to a fresh bag of nice clean towels outside the door each afternoon. You won’t be able to see the ocean from most rooms (including ours, but a short walk through the ocean-front part of the building and you will find that the view is incredible. The building is steps from the sand and ocean. Note- the dunes at the outer banks are different than other places we’ve stayed a

Staff friendly, sheets and bathroom clean. Our room smelled strongly of mold and had what app resend to be water damage. Baseboards were quite grimy. We appreciated having a microwave and freezer.

Our stay was fine with the exception of someone from the office knocking on our door a half hour prior to the time to check out to see if we were going to check out (which we were in the process of packing and almost done). We felt that was rude especially since I had already taken some luggage to our vehicle.

This is a charming, old timey motel, not a huge corporate modern vacationplex. The paint is old, it's a little musty. It's an old building directly behind a sand dune, that's probably survived dozens of storms. It's not luxurious but totally adequate for a seaside vacation! They do their best to keep it clean despite the age and wear and tear on the building. You can't beat an oceanfront room for $100 a night! I had a room with a screen so I got to experience ocean breezes while I slept. Anyone complaining needs to spend more for a newer, fancier place. They are also dog friendly for a fee. They provide plenty of towels and the front desk staff are very kind. Bars/restaurants are in walking distance.

Colonial inn is located right next to nags Head Pier. The rooms are very clean , they have good service and the Rams are reasonably priced. It has direct beach access and a couple steps from The Pier makes it really nice. I enjoyed my stay and the convenience because it's right in the middle of everything. And I have a awesome pool in the front.
