★★★☆☆ 3.0 Siri A · Feb 2026

Overall it was a really good experience. We booked an oceanfront room and that was honestly the best part of the stay. The view was just perfect. I could see the ocean right from the room, the sunrise over the water, and the whole beach vibe was so peaceful and refreshing. Waking up to that view every day felt so good. The room itself was okayish, nothing too fancy, but comfortable enough for a beach stay. Everything was decent and manageable. What I really appreciated was the hospitality. The staff were very polite and welcoming, and they made sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. Housekeeping was also good. They cleaned the room every day, and everything was maintained properly. That consistency really matters during a vacation. Overall, it was a nice and relaxing experience.

The view was nice. We could see the sunrise and there is a beach right in front. The room was clean without any bug. Breakfast was satisfying. Everything was fine except the wifi. My phone kept disconnecting, but the laptop had a good connection.

We booked an oceanfront room in the 4-story building. Our reservation confirmation email said check-in was at 4:00 but then I saw someplace else (maybe on the pre-arrival check-in form) that it was 5:00. I'm not sure what the correct check-in time is, but we weren't planning on arriving until after 5 anyway, so it didn't matter. I had also sent some questions a few days prior to our arrival through the contact page on the website, but never received a response.||We checked in after 6:00 and the front desk staff did not give us any information about the hotel. I got the impression that the guys working the front desk were not the usual front desk crew. They did not explain anything about the hotel. I had to ask where to find the building we were staying in. They also did not tell us

The remodel of the hotel is more than expected. Great location and craftsmanship of the building. Huge plus always hot water!! The breakfast area is a separate room, washer/dryer area and the staff is awesome. Meet a couple of fellow WV folks also. Highly recommend the hotel. Also a game area and outdoor pool along with kid friendly play area. 🕊️💟

Traveled by myself for work in the winter, and was perfect for me! Located right next to great eatery like Kill Devil Grill, Shaka, and grocery stores. I got a side view ,third floor room for a steal on booking.com. Love love love the colors and the balcony too! Easy pre checkin on my phone. EXTRA counter space plus sink very useful, plus a desk for my laptop. I did not have to do much walking to my room, and having elevator so great considering alot of beachy places just have stairs. Looks newly glow up. I recommend .
