    The back of the hotel.

    When they say they're pet friendly they really mean it. We took our dog on vacation with us and this was the perfect place to stay. The only downside was one of the two elevators didn't work. And the breakfast buffet was sub par. The beach access and the deck made up for it.

    Room 707, the room is not to impressive and was very warm when we walked in.

    My wife and I took a weekend break and went to the beach. First we made a reservation online for a room with one bed. After getting to our room we had two small beds. The place doesn't look very nice. There was only one elevator working and it is very small, hope your not claustrophobic. The room was very warm and the ac would only go down to 70. We did have a nice view from our room and there is easy access to the beach. They also have hot breakfast in the mornings but the eggs were very bland. It cost us just over $600 for two nights. I was told by my wife that was the cheapest place she could find and she is good at finding cheap things (she did marry me lol). At the end of the day, this place was okay but nothing to write home about.

    I think there is supposed to be something a little sturdier holding this bathroom panel in place.

    Always friendly staff and they are very customer service oriented. We had a sink that was draining slowly and after we mentioned it they were on it immediately and problem was fixed. Breakfast options are great for a traditional continental breakfast. The rooms were clean and spacious (we had 2 people). Note to management....taking care of the little things goes a long way...meaning repairs. Match your staff, rooms, service and breakfast with some well needed repairs. These are a couple of things noticed in the bathroom by the Conference room (see pic). Also notice our bathroom spout in the shower was coming away from the wall which leads me to believe water could be running into the wall. It's not worth losing customers over minor repairs which collectively make it look like you dont care about the investment you have in this hotel. I gave the hotel a 4 star rating because of the staff, service, rooms and breakfast.

    This hotel is very outdated. The elevator doesn't work well. It's extremely small. The door glitches and takes a while to open. The room itself has mold on the ceiling, very outdated as well. The smell in the front lobby of some type of artificial air freshener / cheap scent very strong is so overpowering it will make you nauseous. The bathroom lighting is disgusting has bugs from quite awhile in the clear panel and the silver is rusted. The refrigerator temp doesn't work; everything you put in there freezes rock solid and temp adjustment doesn't work. Carpets need cleaning. The front door to the room doesn't close all the way by itself; you have to forcefully shut it each time. AND you get to hear the housekeeping screaming all day "heads up" literally ALL during the morning/day over and over and over countless times. This is more like a HOTEL 6. Wouldn't stay here again and wouldn't advise anyone else to unless you don't care about cleanliness. Wish I could give a 0

    Hadn't stayed at a Clarion down here, so we thought we'd try it. Staff was nice and accommodating. Parking was good. Even though the website said no hot breakfast, there was - a pleasant surprise. The refrigerator leaked water a few times, making a wet floor, and the bed is really in need of a new mattress! My biggest thing was the accessible bathroom only had one bar in the shower and the toilet was a regular low toilet. This is not to ADA standards and probably should not have been listed as a fully accessible bathroom! Then there's the Internet speed: it was horrible! At night we'd try to watch stuff on our TiVo or Netflix. Forget that! The download speed was never over 1.5Mbps any of the five nights we were here. I'm sorry, but it's 2021, and there is no reason for such slow speed! Buy more bandwidth! See speed measured from Speedtest at 7:32pm.

    For the money, this place is alright hotel. They offer a government rate, and for about $150 a night you'll be sleeping right next to the ocean. We had a room facing the ocean with a great view of the pier and on friday it had a great view of the OBX shoot out contest. Unfortunately, the window also had a view of the back porches of rental homes on the beach, which meant we got to watch people my parent's age go at it naked in a hot tub in daylight. The entire day friday. It's like watching a train wreck you can't peel your eyes away, although you really want to. Yeah I hope you're reading this Ethel and Bob, good job keeping the romance alive, but could you at least turn on the jets please. The perks: Free continental breakfast. The large breakfast room has a belgian waffle maker, and copious amounts of biscuits and gravy in the buffet. Right off Croatian Highway, with lots of parking. The sweetest staff around. They always ask about your day, fill your water bottles and jugs, help you jam six longboards in an elevator. Dog friendly Feels like a dorm. Third Floor smells like weed, Fourth floor leaves their doors open and has coolers of beer in the hall. Great deck facing the ocean with comfortable lounging chairs. The bad stuff: Bathrooms are questionable. The ceiling tiles are made of that spongey material you see classrooms and offices, the kind were you can throw a pencil up and it will stay in the tile. The ceiling was also really low, I could reach up and touch it, so it made for a small bathroom. Hot water shortage, had a cold shower on the last day. Gym consists of one threadmill, one bike and a TV. Comforter is a DNA sample. Although this is true of all hotels. Dogs with some serious anxiety disorders, howl throughout the night. I had to watch old people get it on.

    The worst place I have ever stayed in my entire life! Brandy at the front desk is the rudest person I have ever encountered. We paid over $500 a night for the biggest dump. The pictures don't even do it justice.

    Pool that is next to the beach and is accessible from the 2nd floor back patio

    The location is unbeatable, but the hotel can use some love. The hotel is right on the ocean, if you book an oceanfront room you will have a small patio with a view of the ocean, which is AMAZING! The hotel has a private pool, and a really nice deck that leads right to the beach, this was very convenient and an amazing amenity. We also thought all of the employees were very kind and wonderful!! 3 stars because the breakfast isn't very good, and the hotel itself needs some work. It didn't ever feel super clean, the stairwell was dirty, and the elevator is very old and slow. The room is OK, but needs an update. I think this place is definitely worth it though for the views, beach access, good customer service, and their private patio out back that leads right to the beach. FYI there is an animal floor for dogs

    Such an amazing homely getaway !!! Everything from arrival…read moreto departure was such a pleasant experience. The staff in the office once you arrive are so patient and welcoming, so checking in was so easy !!! If you have any issues in your suite or questions about locks, they will gladly come over and assist you. The excellent cleanliness of all the suite and the attention to detail to making your stay comfortable is outstanding !!! The rooms are spacious, very clean, full kitchen, large bathroom, very very comfortable bed, living room, dinning room, a nice balcony and chairs for you to enjoy view of the water, sunset and sunrise, easy access to boardwalk and gazebo on small pier. Also with access to a large swimming pool and hot tub for relaxation... Another plus is it's located between Manteo and Kitty Hawk, so you have plenty of options of places to go for drinks, a good meal, sight seeing, or for a good time in the water. If you are planning to come out here do keep them in mind for a great and comforting stay. Do inquire about specials for special events and specials rooms. Enjoy that personal touch at The Oasis Suites Hotel !!!

We stayed in one of the suites with a separate bedroom, which worked out great. There was a lot of space to spread out. Something minor to some but I loved being able to self-park close to the room.

    My husband and I had a wonderful experience just two years ago this month at First Colony Inn,…read morewhich prompted us to book another visit this past Saturday 3/21 through this morning, Tuesday 3/24. What an incredible disappointment it was. The comparison was stark. The entire property is in need of attention. The porch swing we enjoyed outside our room (#11) two years ago was sitting on the deck this year (picture attached). The afternoon social advertised for Saturday afternoon did not happen. The boardwalk to the road was unusable and while cordoned off for safety didn't have any repairs during our stay. The beach walkway is a joke, and dangerous. The hot, made to order breakfast we'd enjoyed in 2024 was an embarrassment. Sunday morning's breakfast consisted of two small round store-bought waffles and a flaccid, microwaved piece of something unlike bacon. We chose to skip breakfast on Monday and Tuesday mornings and pay to eat elsewhere. In general, the inn appears to be falling to ruin. The bathroom floor was sticky and clearly unclean. The mini-fridge froze our sodas. We never saw any innkeeping staff on premises other than the nice young man who brought us our breakfast on Sunday morning. The quality of the food was not his fault; clearly, the days of having a cook make special breakfasts of the day are a thing of the past. What in the world has happened? First Colony Inn deserves far better than the lack of care and attention it is currently getting and so do its guests. Kirsten S.

    We have stayed here several times. I have seen a decline in the quality of things. I understand it…read moreis under new management. Break fast was nice but hot food was just reheated premade items. As in picture. Not the quality we got last time. Pastries were held over each day for the next day. By day 3 ? The big thing was you couldn't get coffee until the office was unlocked at 8am. We are early risers and like coffee in am. The other thing was the toilet in our bathroom , room 3 was very low and hard for older people to use. The room was not as clean as I remember in the past. Would I stay again ? I don't know. Were before I would have said definitely.

    Located directly across from the Owens restaurant is this tiny motel with its own private beach…read moreaccess. The most affordable place to stay is here which means it books fast. Outdated but serves its purpose - sleep, shower and bathroom. Our room was considered ocean side which is true but for someone who is a stickler for the details I think it should be renamed to beach access as you can not physically see or hear the ocean. The ocean view / side rooms are located at the back of the motel and these rooms are more expensive. Room comes with towels, bar soap, mini shampoo / conditioner, toilet paper, extra trash bags, tiny coffee maker, mini fridge, window ac, base board heat, microwave, small tv, closet, dresser, nightstand and free WiFi. Ice machine and drink machine located in back motel. Oh and .... living walking disgusting cockroaches! Almost stepped on a cockroach as I went to the bathroom ! Yes it was alive ! Yes I am allergic !!! No wonder my allergies are giving me a fit. :( Note to self: Bring roach traps! Room 6 : has a leaky toilet and a constant dripping sound Not many electrical outlets in our room so I would recommend to bring a four way. Beds not the very comfortable. Wear socks on carpet. Bathroom very tiny!!(please do not take offense to this but : anyone who is possibly 'large' would not be able to fit in the toilet area) Limited parking : no room to turn around Pros: Location, amazing beach access, wifi & affordable!
