A solid 4/5. Though the hotel is 20 years old, the lobby and rooms have clearly been refreshed…read morerecently. It's very pretty and well decorated. The staff were professional and pleasant. Great location too! A couple things worth mentioning though. Our room was very damp. And not just a little humid (we lived in FL for 15 years so we understand humidity), but like our clothes felt wet when we put them on and paper gift bags were soft. We actually turned off the air and opened the slider to air the room out a couple times. If I had to take a stab in the dark, there's likely a serious mold issue behind the walls. There was mold growing on the AC unit. Another thing about the area in general (not just the hotel)...flies. Be prepared to have them tag along with you EVERYWHERE. They were in every restaurant we went to, by the pool, at the beach, in the gym, in every store. It was the most bizarre thing. Just everywhere. Also, I didn't realize how dog friendly this hotel was. We have two dogs and love them, but our room clearly had a dog in it previously with signs of hair on the AC unit and in the carpet. I wish we'd have brought our own pillows as the ones in our room were down pillows and even with 2 of them, they still fall flat. Overall, the location, price, service, and amenities were totally fine but those things like the room being super damp, the flies, and pet hair were just little nuisances that I think people should be aware of.

Overall, we had a good stay, but there were a few things that could be improved…read more The hotel looks a little outdated, but the highlight was definitely the view of the beach from the outdoor pool. It was beautiful and very relaxing. Both the indoor and outdoor pools were warm, which we really enjoyed. The only downside was that there were hardly any towels available at the outdoor pool. We booked the last available room for the day and were pleasantly surprised with complimentary breakfast vouchers. Unfortunately, after using the vouchers, I checked my account the next day and noticed I had still been charged for breakfast, which was disappointing. The room itself was comfortable. The pillows were soft, the blankets were warm, and we slept well. However, there was one large bug flying around the room, and I have no idea where it came from, which was definitely unpleasant. Overall, we enjoyed our stay because of the pools, beach view, and comfortable room, but a few issues--especially the breakfast charge and the bug in the room--kept it from being a perfect experience.

Thankfully the issues I had the first day with the air conditioning in the room were resolved within an hour after I reported them. The breakfast buffet has a nice selection that varies daily. Cheese omelettes alternating with scrambled eggs. I really enjoying the automatic pancake mixer. My only compliant after a few nights staying here is the mattress. It's low budget and I've been waking up with a stiff back everyday. But hey, the is Holiday Inn Express not the Mariott. I'm throwing and extra two stars on because I believe the people here try hard to please the customers.

Exceptional Hospitality & Beautiful Resort!…read more Shutters is a beautiful, clean property with everything you could want for an Outer Banks getaway! The oceanfront location and easy beach access are fantastic, and the outdoor pool area is amazing with plenty of comfortable seating. They also have an indoor pool, hot tub, and a great hot breakfast. But the true standout of our experience was Kira, one of the supervisors. Her kindness and hospitality were absolutely unmatched. She went above and beyond to make my son and me feel welcomed and cared for, and her genuine warmth made our experience so much more special. Kira is truly an asset to Shutters! Samantha at the front desk was also incredibly kind and helpful. We were so impressed by the beautiful property and, most of all, the people who made us feel so welcome. We will definitely be back and highly recommend Shutters to anyone visiting the Outer Banks!

They have age old hand scribbled sticky notes everywhere telling you what not to do including a large envelope asking for housekeeping tips. Even the sunset pier had broken furniture. For $175.00 per night I would not stay here again. In fact, I would not stay here at any price. I would have been happier in a chain motel!!

You also get a free beach access you have to bring your own chair. Or you have to pay for the beach. The ocean had no jelly fish. And the waves were massive I got knocked down twice. I will really recommend this place for people in the east.

The location is unbeatable--some of the best waterfront property in the Kill Devil Hills area…read more Being right on the beach is the highlight and truly makes the stay worthwhile. That said, the property is showing its age. The units still have outdated Dish TV service, and the curtains are faded and dated. Most of the furniture is cloth and overdue for replacement. The area rugs are also a concern--they seem a little smelly and retain sand, which makes them feel less than clean. Maintenance and management have noticeably declined. It's frustratingly hard to get in touch with someone when you need assistance. In short, you're paying for the location and ocean access, but the interiors and upkeep need serious attention. With some investment in updates and better guest service, it could return to being a top-tier beach property.

Wyndham Baymont Complaint…read more We stayed at the Wyndham Baymont Kitty Hawk from June 12-15, 2020. When we initially checked in the room they assigned to us was not made up. We found out when we walked in it was an utter mess. Wyndham Baymont gave us a second room. In the second room we discovered a water leak inside the bathroom coming from the second floor room above ours. Every time the occupants flushed the toilet water came through the vents and all over our bathroom. Wyndham Baymont gave us another room. We're now on our third room. You will see from the pictures the owner at Wyndham Baymont Kitty Hawk does not take care of the property. We understand these are COVID-19 times, but the manager has used this as an excuse to not repair and clean up the the hotel and outside grounds. The side doors of the hotel were not locked during the evening hours (a safety concern). The manager was absolutely useless she complained that she had to work 12 hours +plus a day. We never saw her and we we were never able to meet up and talk with her to discuss our concerns. She was always "unavailable". There are other hotel options in Kitty Hawk. I would not recommend Wyndham Baymont Kitty Hawk hotel for a stay. I would recommend this hotel be shut down for deep cleaning, along with structural and safety repairs. On the positive side the front desk people were very pleasant. The problem with this hotel is the manager who seems to have excuse after excuse why she can's make repairs or clean the hotel to make it minimally presentable.

There was a copious amount of blood and dried liquid on the side opposite my sleeping position. It was on the top cover and the sheet as well. The only way housekeeping missed this is if they did not change bed covers for FOUR days I was there. The blood was near the top of covers and looked as if it could have been from a tooth extraction. No thanks not staying here any more.

There are absolutely things about this TownPlace Suites that I would like to see changed or that I…read moredidn't like, however I'm still giving 5 stars because of the location and the setup they have here and because I personally would go back without a second thought. First, some of the issues I have: The room layout puts one bed very close to the air conditioner and because they have the old-fashioned hotel style AC units, that leaves at least one person getting directly blasted with cold air all night. Using pool towel clips to put a towel over one side of the vent did help but reduced the efficacy of the AC and made the room warmer for everyone else. Breakfast is nice (and free) but the setup of it seems to be done as if this is a business hotel and not a beach front hotel. The cereal choices were all boring adult cereals, the bread for toast was VERY whole grain (as in it had pieces of grains in it), and the only milk they had was white milk (for example). Adding a small amount of more kid-friendly breakfast elements would go a long way. The outdoor pool is sheltered from the wind by the sand bank and gets really hot in the sun, a lightweight shade over the whole (or part of) the deck would probably be a welcomed addition by most people. As for what's great about this place: The location includes a beachfront pool + small snack shack with beach access which is directly across the road from the hotel itself. This gives the best of both worlds with beachfront access as well as having better parking and more room on the hotel property. On non-weekends the price is super affordable for a beachfront Marriott property. Not to mention the only Marriott property on the Outer Banks. It's very close to great food options, many walkable. Stuff for both adults and kids is easy to access. It's also not far to many interesting sightseeing or cultural things to see. All-in-all, I would love to see some minor changes but even with some flaws this is definitely a 5 star option.

Plus there's a dining area and living room. Nice full balcony outback with a great view of the ocean. Wonderful breeze out the front but none of the windows worked to let the air in from the front. Only one of the elevators work. Some of the lights don't work. The living room TV has gone bad and often displays the programming as a negative image or mostly green in color. Side of the refrigerator has good amount of rust. The icemaker didn't work. The showers had decent water pressure and they have nice soap products. The food at the restaurant was good. The crabcake was good portion and tasty and the vegetable medley had excellent flavor. I was overcharged when I arrived for what my confirmation said. Hopefully that has been straightened out with my bill when I check out. There was an issue with the elevator the one morning as the employee said it wasn't working. This other lady who looked like a manager, was asking other guests about the elevator. When I told her that is your employee with the supply cart and he's been standing at the elevator and it's not working. She's responded to me saying "I don't know him. I don't know what's going on. I don't know about another elevator. I'm new here. This is my first day." Really? You start your first day on Easter Sunday and you had no training? There is another elevator, but apparently that's been out of order for many months. Thankfully, the employee with the supply cart was able to get the elevator back working quickly Lots of available parking in the open lot We consider staying again, but likely will try another place
