Tar Heel Motel

This Motel is super cute and located in a great spot. Our room was very clean and had a bunch of amenities such as a coffee maker, fridge, microwave, toaster oven, and a kitchen sink. The bathroom was on the smaller size but has everything you could need, it had the standard toiletries, only thing that was missing was a blow dryer. The AC worked great and kept the room very cold. The front office is staffed during the day and they have an emergency number for after hours issues. All of the staff was extremely helpful and made sure to always check if we needed anything! Parking was right in front of the room and very easy to navigate, if you have more than one vehicle there is overflow parking areas as well. The pool area was small but was very nice and looked well maintained, the beach acc

Okay, people, 2-stars IS being generous! This is a HELP-YOURSELF motel, dedicated to the fishermen that fish on Jennette's Pier, and you will see that evidence by all of the big 4x4 vehicles that are loaded with fishing equipment, and many take up two parking spaces - with VERY LIMITED parking to begin with. The "attendants" who "help-out" at the motel, also work at other motels nearby, and therefore, they are there intermittently. The Tar Heel Motel in Nags Head is owned by Beach Retreats by Village Realty, a management company with many properties on the OBX. Therefore, there is nobody really in-charge. Any time you have a problem, you have to call a phone number. We squeezed our tiny car into a spot close to our room. When we got inside, there were small BLACK FLIES, EVERYWHERE -

Positive: Motel looks better inside than outside. Room was clean. Negative: Parking is free, but little tricky.

I was really hoping that this would be a really nice motel, close to the beach, as we paid $209.23 (including tax) for 1 night - which is funny, because they "bait" you with this $84 advertisement, but when you actually book the room, it's nowhere near that price. When we got there, parking was strange - parallel parking in front of your room, IF nobody else had taken your spot. We were fortunate to have a small car, and got very close to our room. I missed the email with the door code to our room, so I went to the "Front Desk" door, which was locked. Turns out that the owners don't live here, or run the motel on a daily basis, they have hired "attendants" who also serve other motels. A quick phone call, however, and I got my room code. When we walked in, the room was old and not renov

After a long day of traveling, we checked in to this motel and were immediately taken back by the smell of cigarette smoke. We propped open the door and opened the window, which did not help.And while we were waiting to see if the smoke dissipated, we tried to turn on the t v and we could get it to come on. We called the number and found that they were only open from 9 to 5 So we left a message and have not heard back from this motel. We are extremely allergic to cigarette smoke and could not stay but was hoping someone would call us back, and maybe there would be another room.That was available but still have not heard back from anyone. My neighbor and I have stayed here previously and we thought it was the cutest room and everything was great.But this time was a total disappointment,
