The original owner was very kind to people who needed a place to stay, so he would sometimes give tenants work. A way of singing for your supper. The art in the lobby was done by one of the tenants in lue of paying for his rent. When the business was sold, the new owners thought it to be a good idea to hold onto it for its historical value of this awesome hotel.

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.

The breakfast buffet was OK not well stocked missing a lot of items and there was litter on the property with cigarette butts and that was reported and never cleaned up there were bins of trash in the lobby that were there for hours on end and never should be in the public view. There were children of staff helping out throughout the hotel during the evenings sweeping and folding towels. The air conditioning was broke in the main lobby, where the breakfast buffet was the room temperature thermostat was on the fritz and the unit rattle loud the cleaning service was absolutely horrible. The refrigerator was leaking and we had to retrieve our own towels daily because the staff didn't replace what they took out of room, we have stayed here 4 yrs in a row and this was the worst I've seen it.

Upon checking in, Brody was very kind and welcoming, offering us the bikes to cruise around while our room was cleaned. The room is specious and nicely appointed and had all the amenities of home.

The rooms are absolutely beautiful, spacious, and elegant. Each morning we enjoyed delicious coffee along with a wonderful selection of sweet and savory pastries. The afternoon cocktail hour was a special touch and a great way to relax after a day of exploring. A special feature is the deep-water dock, which allows you to pull your boat right up to the inn. There are also kayaks, paddle boards and bicycles for guests to enjoy. We rode bikes to the park and all around downtown. Inside, there are comfortable sitting areas perfect for relaxing, reading, or playing games. The Burrus House is peaceful, quiet, and exceptionally welcoming. If you're looking for a charming place to stay in Manteo with outstanding amenities and hospitality, I highly recommend the Burrus House Inn. We can't wait to come back!

Also provided were some really wonderful places to eat within walking distance. Those recommendations did not disappoint. We had the two bedroom one bath room. It was very nicely appointed and had all of the creature comforts of home. Lots of wonderful views of the sound. The bedding is just like what we have! Lots to do on Manteo...dolphin watching, city center shopping, the aquarium, etc. Bicycles and canoes are available on site. The nice thing is you get the outer banks experience nearby without the usual crowds, amusement park attractions, and stores. Manteo is centrally located in the OBX which makes the Burrus House Inn an ideal place to stay. Great price for such a nice place...and best of all, no kids under the age of 16 allowed which makes for a nice romantic getaway!
