A solid 4/5. Though the hotel is 20 years old, the lobby and rooms have clearly been refreshed recently. 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. read more

Overall, we had a good stay, but there were a few things that could be improved. The hotel looks a little outdated, but the highlight was definitely the view of the beach from the outdoor pool.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. read more

We cannot say enough wonderful things about the Kitty Hawk Pier and the entire team who helped make our wedding absolutely perfect! First and foremost, the Kitty Hawk Pier made planning our wedding from a state away incredibly easy. Every single coordinator we worked with was friendly, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making our day special. Emma, especially, answered what was probably 2,839,028,392 emails from me and my million questions with patience, professionalism, and kindness every single time. From the very beginning, the entire team made us feel like our wedding was special and unique--not like they simply do this every weekend. The level of attention, care, and personal service they provided to make our wedding perfect was truly incredible and so appreciated. The food was AMAZING! We had several food allergies among our guests, including me--the bride--being allergic to gluten. The team went above and beyond to make sure everyone could eat safely while still enjoying an incredible meal. We had the mahi and beef, and our guests could not stop talking about how delicious everything was. We were also so impressed by how quickly and efficiently everyone was served. Every single employee we encountered was incredibly helpful, kind, and attentive. From the bartenders and servers to the managers, everyone went out of their way to make sure we and our guests had the best possible experience--and we truly did. Having the hotel right on site was an absolute dream. The hotel staff were incredibly accommodating, and our guests were very happy with their rooms, the restaurant, and the pool and beach access. The gym even had Peloton bikes! The entire setup made the weekend so convenient and enjoyable for everyone. I truly cannot stress enough what a dream venue this is for anyone who wants to get married at the beach. Being able to have all of our guests check in and be done traveling, have the most beautiful beach ceremony, and then immediately move inside to air conditioning while still enjoying the incredible views over the water was absolutely perfect. Having access to the pier for photos was also such a special bonus and gave us so many beautiful memories and pictures. The Kitty Hawk Pier truly gave us the beach wedding of our dreams. From the planning process to the food, staff, accommodations, location, and every little detail in between, everything was exceptional. We will be forever grateful to the entire team for helping us create the most perfect wedding weekend and would wholeheartedly recommend the Kitty Hawk Pier to anyone looking for a beautiful, stress-free, and truly unforgettable wedding venue! read more

Due to a series of unfortunate events, we ended up having to cancel our existing rental and quickly move to a hotel. The staff was nice enough to accommodate us, even though things were starting to book up and even gave us some breakfast vouchers as an empathetic "we understand what you're going through". The room was great and even the "no ocean view" gave us a very nice partial ocean view which we enjoyed. The hotel is a great location and central too many things you'll need for a family visiting. Definitely check out the wonderful coffee shop across the street from the gas station. One note for hotel staff, which I already provided feedback on, is that the staff attending to you during breakfast are very hit or miss. For example, when I asked for hot black tea, I was told they only had herbal tea. However, I know, for a fact, they had black tea as I saw others drinking it, and it was available in the rooms. Unfortunately they couldn't seem to find any, and I was given Lipton black tea instead, which was a disappointment for the amount of money we were paying to stay there the time it took for staff to wait on us was a Billy slow and each time we ordered the food that was delivered was either incorrect, cold or the waitress seemed utterly confused at what we were ordering or what we were asking for. I'm not sure she spoke more than a few words of English to be perfectly honest, and while I normally do not complain about such things, it greatly inhibited our ability to kick off the morning on a good note. Despite the restaurant, however, everything about the hotel and the front desk, staff, and the location were fantastic, and I would highly recommend. read more

We spent two nights at the Hilton Garden Inn, and we discovered a real gem on the Outer Banks! This comfortable beach hotel is like a little resort with indoor and outdoor pools, beachfront location, a restaurant that serves all three meals in season and breakfast and dinner off season, plus has a full bar. Most rooms have either a side or front view a view of the ocean and balconies. The hotel is clean and looks to be recently renovated. The beds are comfortable, and the rooms are quiet. The location is ideal in that you can easily drive up to Duck for its cute shops and restaurants or down to Kill Devil Hills and Nags Head for more restaurants, shopping, and entertainment. Parking is free. You just need to place a hang tag on your rear view mirror to show you are a guest at the hotel. read more

The Lobby is gorgeous but certainly does not reflect our hideously ugly room with its tiny bathroom and shower so small that you touch the walls the whole time you're in it. The accent walls are pink and the drapes are ugly dark leaf pattern, hardly reflecting the beautiful ocean view. I need to post a photo. Not having daily housekeeping is not appreciated. read more

Too expensive for what we received. Careful to reserve ocean view vs ocean view side. They don't provide actual photo of the view of the room. Ocean view side may get you the courtyard side. This is a bad room if you want sleep. Both nights we stayed we had people sitting below our window hanging out and talking until midnight. We had to turn on the AC unit to drown out the noise. This is enough so that we won't stay here again. The hotel itself is fine and the beach access nice. Restaurant is good and they have some good staff there. There are also two good restaurants right across the street where you can avoid having to drive for a couple days. My advice to the hotel is to out the chairs away in the courtyard after 10 pm so you don't have parties forming in area that allows trapping conversations and keeping people awake. Your windows are not sound proof. read more

As a Hilton honors member I have to say this is one of my favorite hotels....ocean front, hot tub, pool and close to everything. Stay here at least twice a year---once before the Blackbeard's revenge race in March and then we get down here early for our summer week in Avon and spend a few days in kitty hawk venturing out to the local restaurants and soaking up the Sun and Hilton hospitality! read more

It was nice enough.close to everything. Room was ok.Some what clean..breakfast was ok.But be careful of prices.I ordered room 3 months ahead at a certain price per night was charged wayyyyy more.When I asked about triple A discount the man gave me lame excuse about a already 20 off.I didnt see that on final bill.So my advice insist on final bill "all together " and make then send email ( i did get a email ) but they didnt honor.So I won't be staying again.only because of I dont like sneaky business people.Good luck. read more

We had a fantastic stay here. Great location right on the beach with free parking. The rooms were nice and much more updated than the lobby. We had some drinks at the bar which were good, but the lack of AC was in the lobby was our only small complaint. We could tell others at the bar were also hot -- the bartender informed us that they always keep it warm in there and it can get miserable. Both the indoor and outdoor pool was great, hot tub was nice, beach access was also appreciated. Price was reasonable and overall a great stay! read more

Great location. I came to the Outer Banks to surf. There is beach access directly from the hotel parking lot. There's also a hose to wash off all your gear before coming back. It was also pretty chilly, so the fact that afterwards I could go into a hot tub was pretty great as well. read more

This is not a good place to stay if you want safety and a functioning room. I came here to get my little boy out of the house and see family here because my mom was passing away and it was too much for him. The first day I was unpacking my car around 5:00 and a man with a dog stood on the sidewalk by my car and stared at me and my son. He was about 3' from me and wouldn't move on. I stopped unloading and looked at him and his dog. He said oh don't worry he's friendly. I got annoyed he wasn't moving and making us feel scared. I told him to get his dog away then told my son to stay away from his dog. Hoping I gave a message to him to go away. The creepy man yelled at me to move my child. My son was scared and I was too so we talked to the front desk and the police. The front desk knew who he was. He lived across the street and the police found him and talked to him. The lady at the front desk was nice and refunded me for the night which was so sweet. The next morning I booked another room but had to move rooms because they said they didn't have anymore open and were booked even though it's January. So I got a more expensive room and the heat was really loud so they had to replace it. They were drilling etc. my mom was in her last few hours that day. Then I had a water leak in the bathroom. Another person had to come. Then I put my son in the shower and the water barely came out then stopped coming out for a moment. I called again and then asked for a manager but they never got back to me. My mom passed away that day and I was on FaceTime with my dad as she passed. I booked a third night and asked the front desk what was happening and why no one fixed my water and why no one called me yet. It just was not handled well. A call would've been nice but at this point I would never stay here again. I ran into a couple that were having a terrible stay as well and said they would never come here again. It's so sad that places are run like this. Even if my mom wasn't passing away, I would expect to have a nice peaceful stay. All I can say to people reading this is this is just not run well and I bet eventually people will not stay here because the word is getting out. read more

I stayed in the hotel for almost 3 weeks due to a death in the family. The staff went above and beyond especially Zabrina, Raven and Miss Leslie. Anything I needed was taken care of - even a room change! The food in the restaurant was good and I highly recommend the mushroom risotto if it's on the menu. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The housekeeping staff was also excellent. 10/10 would stay again read more

Solid 3 for location- couldn't find many reasonable priced places on the beach and with a pool and outdoor bar. And this location had a pier and beach chair/umbrella rentals. Was disappointed though that Sep 3 was told outside tiki bar was closed for the season. We didn't even get to try it, and there was no notice. Other small things to note but be flexible about: Had a dog toy under our bed so guess people before us had a pet, zero water pressure in shower, ordered a vanilla latte every morning and was a diff price every time, and problem with flies in bar/restaurant but not sure if that was bad weather so after first night we got to go and ate in room. Other patrons were much ruder about it but it's not the Four Seasons read more

Once we checked into our on the 3rd floor with no elevator and having to walk into a garage type of building, we wanted to leave immediately. We asked to check out sooner with a 1 day refund and they said no. Poor customer service. Is this really worth it since we will never return and will tell everyone to stay away. read more

2nd time staying at this place. Two years ago, it was phenomenal. This year they did renovations which were nice however the quality of the staff, housekeeping and service in general is sub par. We booked for 6 days had to ask for towels and toilet paper everyday. Room was serviced only one time and that's only because I complained. Was told by mgmt that it would be serviced daily and that was not true. Our toilet seat was broken I notified front desk but sadly had to fix it myself daily. The pool was dirty and had not been skimmed until myself and other guests skimmed it. Sand is all over the bottom of the pool. They have a pool vacuum but it doesn't work properly. We will not return. Also if you are elderly or physically disabled you will not be able to sit at a table by the pool they are all bar height. read more

The Aviator Bar and Bistro are in the Hilton Garden Inn located in Kitty Hawk, NC. The Hilton is brand spanking new. It's excessively clean and spacious. The restaurant is quaint and in an open space. The decor celebrates the accomplishments of the Wright brothers. The food was tasty but a bit pricey which is to be expected at a Hilton. Service was excellent however, the restaurant was not very crowded. There are so many restaurants in the area however, this was a convenient place to chow down after a long drive. read more

We just left a 2 night stay at this hotel. This is a 2 part review. The staff was outstanding. Leslie at the front desk, James at the Aviator Bar and the rest of the staff in the front of house were very helpful. The cleaning and maintenance of this property is embarrassing. I am surprised corporate hasn't stepped in to assist with a plan to get this great property back on track. There is a management problem here. Although I read negative reviews about this property's condition prior to booking, I thought it was a few isolated conditions. After staying in an ocean front, $400 per night room, I saw first hand the poor cleaning and maintenance. Water stains running walls, spider webs at the corners of interior walls, balconies that haven't been cleaned including basics like furniture and railing. I cleaned the furniture and railing prior to letting my wife sit down or lean on the top rail. Dead Bugs have accumulated over time at the doors and separation walls. It is disgusting. Cleaning and maintenance department heads and the GM are running this beautiful property into the ground. This review would be a 1 star if not for the front of house staff. This should not have a Hilton name on it! read more

It has been about 3 years since we have stayed at any Hilton hotel (we used to be frequent with staying) and to say we were disappointed and disgusted this time, is an understatement. There were sticky drink marks on the desk, the floor was extremely dirty (we were wiping up water off the floor), the ac unit was dusty, and there was literal feces on the toilet paper which is hazardous waste(still confused why new toilet paper wasn't put out in the first place, sorry but that is disgusting all on its own then to check it when arriving and see this? No thanks) Needless to say I had my husband take our belongings to the car and checked out immediately. For the amount of money they charge, it is expected to be a nice stay. This was on Oct 4, it is now the 7th and still no call from anyone. read more

Walking into the lobby it felt a bit outdated, from early 80's. I was just visiting someone but desk staff was friendly, rooms easy to find, the elevator was very slow for only being 5-6 stories. Room was very basic but spacious, view was pretty good of the ocean. Bathroom was ok it's definitely a no frills kinda hotel. The bar downstairs seemed kinda busy with a younger crowd, if they updated it I think it would really do well. If you're looking for a basic clean hotel with ocean view and access then you're in luck, just not sure how the prices are in season. read more

Service was great. The hotel was clean! I liked the flooring In the room. It's not all carpet.

My friends and I recently visited for the Outer Banks Marathon and had an excellent stay. We chose an ocean front room with balcony, and I loved the sound of the ocean waves crashing on the shore, and watching the sun rise over the beach. Our room was well appointed with microwave, coffee maker and refrigerator. It was clean and spacious. It was too cold for the outdoor swimming pool, but the swimming area along with an overlook full of rocking chairs looked incredible! We visited the indoor pool and hot tub, and had a wonderful time there! I loved the changing color lights in the pool and hot tub - such a fun touch! The lobby is beautifully decorated with two fireplaces and a nice dining area and bar. Several times during our stay, we enjoyed a hot chocolate or coffee which were available for free in the lobby, along with cookies in the afternoon. It made for a welcoming and warm environment. The only feedback I would offer is that when we arrived, we were told our room was not ready, and they would need to call us once it was. We asked if we could store our luggage, and were told they didn't have a place for it. So we carried our luggage back to the car and headed off to find food. Just five minutes later, I received a call that the room was ready. I just wish that piece of the stay was a bit better coordinated. Overall, an outstanding stay and convenient location. I would definitely visit this hotel again on a repeat trip to OBX! read more

Dirty and misrepresented rooms. The room was really dirty, as was the rest of the hotel. It's as though they just don't care. I asked a janitor downstairs where the restroom was, and he took me to it, but he also told me it's filthy... and he was right. It was really dirty. And it was clear that janitor not only knew that but had no intention of cleaning it at that time. The room was better than that bathroom, thankfully, but still really dirty. Our mirror was covered with smudges and had clearly never been cleaned. The sofa was old and gross. The air conditioning unit stunk and clearly needed to be replaced. The walls on the bathroom had all kinds of gross bits on it that came off with a wet tissue... horrible service. They also lie about their rooms. The room I chose was advertised as "side ocean view." That's a lie. You could not see the ocean at all. Our room faced the parking lot, so it should really be advertised as a "side parking lot view." I asked to change rooms to one with an ocean view, and they moved us to a room that still didn't face the ocean unless you really walk up to the window and tilt your head to the corner... you could then only see a sliver of the ocean. We weren't happy with the hotel, but it's one of the only ones that is right on the beach in the area and we were tired of traveling and already switching rooms, so we dealt with it. But the dirty nature of the place and misrepresentation is unacceptable for a Hilton resort. read more

Welcome to the Hilton Garbage Inn. Prefacing this review to say my husband and I are not bougie by any means. We booked this hotel with points and are diamond club members. This property is extremely rundown and has not been maintained. The room itself was poorly, lit, and felt institutionalized. The ceilings of the room had mold on them and the bathroom was gross (see pics) The property itself had trash strewn around outside that hadn't been picked up over multiple days . As soon as we checked in, we tried to upgrade to an ocean front room and were told multiple times nothing was available due to the storm. They would not release rooms because they were afraid of the ceiling falling down on us. The front desk personnel were not friendly, nor accommodating in any way. We were scheduled to stay 5 nights. When we went to the restaurant the 3rd morning we should've asked for a table for six to include the four flies that joined us for our mediocre breakfast. We decided then to leave and go to the Hampton Inn in Carolla. Didn't worry about the points we left and paid for two nights. Best decision we could have made. Only wish we would have made it sooner. If the Hilton family were to come on this property, they would sell it in a heartbeat. DON'T STAY HERE. read more
