    A little quaint hotel located in the outer banks of North Carolina. The staff was amazing! They are super friendly and courteous! I called a couple of times with questions regarding my reservation and they were able to answer all my questions and were courteous. My fiancé and I were in mid move and they accommodated our trailer. The gave us a welcoming greeting and were friendly. For the hotel itself I was disappointed. They charge a resort fee which I do not understand. Based on the pictures, there is nothing resort like about this place. The rooms are severely outdated with old worn carpet. For the price we paid to stay, I was expecting more. The price is very high and you do not really get your moneys worth. The breakfast was a disappointment. Once an item runs out, they do not replace it. If you do not arrive early enough, you are dealing with a very limited menu. The selection is very bare and is sub par compared to most hotels. Overall, the staff is amazing and courteous. But for the hotel itself, it is not worth the money.

    I didn't really have a choice since the property was the only one left with a room for Labor Day weekend. I can see why. It needs a little updating. The rooms need deeper cleaning, & the room had a musty, moldy odor. The Pros: its location, beautiful view of the water; easy access to beach sports ( boating, kayaking, & jet skiing) with their own dock, and a good breakfast. Will I stay there again? NO.

    I had to stay one night because I could not get to my house on the 4x4 beach due to high tides. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. I loved the fact that it had a small fridge , microwave and hot plate. I was able to eat my leftovers from home and not have to venture out after my 12 hour drive. Sound views were beautiful from the dock.

    Great location, very pet friendly, beautiful sunsets. The Inn is on the older side and the walkways (all wooden boardwalk type) could use some upgrading and maintenance, they tend to be noisy as well. Don't stay in Room 55. Although the room was clean and a comfortable size, it faces the parking lot along Route 12. There were only sheers on the window and the floodlights in the parking lot illuminated the room all night until the sunrise in the morning which came through the sheers and reflected off the mirrors on the closet doors. It came in handy that there was a kitchen with a full refrigerator, but there was very limited kitchen supplies, especially no drinking glasses, except for the 4 coffee paper cups. We did a lot of take out and would have appreciated a more equipped kitchen. Our first day we were surprised to find on the windowsill a homemade "terrarium" made out of 1/2 of a water bottle . . growing . . something. There was only 1 roll of toilet paper and zero boxes of tissues. We were traveling during COVID and were very understanding that our room would not be cleaned daily. It was not a problem to get clean towels (and extra toilet paper) from the front office. Since there was no housekeeping, we were unaware of what to do with the overflowing garbage. The continental breakfast was okay, muffins, bagels, sausage, hard boiled eggs, cereal, granola bars, coffee, tea, milk etc. All were wrapped individually which was nice. Since this Inn is on the water there are a lot of mosquitos. We knew that going in, but we were surprised that the property was not kept (or swept) of these dead insects. We had no screens on our windows and were therefore unable to open them during the beautiful weather. Probably the most disappointing (and disheartening) experience was that despite the sign on the main office door that indicated you must wear a face mask . . the employees were the only ones I saw WITHOUT masks inside the office :( P.S. We did ask for a different room upon arrival and were told there were no other room available.

    Great Hotel in a perfect location. This hotel backs right up to the sound and is a Great place to watch the sunset . Friendly staff and the rooms are quaint and clean. I'll definitely stay here again and I'll recommend it to my friends! One thing I will say for those this might affect, there are ALOT of steps. No elevator however the front desk folks will get your luggage to your room. Not a deal breaker however if you have trouble with steps you may want to request a room on a lower level or the most easily accessible.

    Can't beat the view of the pier leading to the gazebo to watch the sunset

    This is a beautiful, cozy beach house property nestled in the Corolla community where my twin and I stayed for two days. Our room was kind of small, but I loved how the bathtub was rather large and had good water pressure for showering. Everything was clean, which was good enough for me. I'm not much into hanging out in my hotel room, so I was happy that there were several places in the Inn where you could sit and look out into the water and the sunset or enjoy the beautiful weather. It's family owned and they were rather short staffed due to it being off season, but they were very kind and informative and offered their number if assistance was needed after hours. I also loved the location of the property as there were several places were you could walk on a nature trail. Their continental breakfast was pretty small selection, but decent. I managed to enjoy some hot coffee, eggs, sausage and croissant and sit out on the patio to enjoy the crisp morning that as a night shift worker is very rare for me. I would definitely want to come back here should I find myself wanting another trip to Corolla.

    My husband and I spent our honeymoon here and let me tell you- best decision ever!! They upgraded our room once they found out it was our honeymoon! The staff is so friendly and accommodating! They certainly know the area and gave us great suggestions. The views here are amazing .. Especially the sunset. We will be coming back for anniversaries to come!! Thanks Corolla Inn for helping to make our honeymoon one we will never forget!!

    Love this place! The room was spacious, airy, and clean. We overlooked the spa and the sound which was perfect for us. It was not too loud and was so relaxing. You can even walk to the end of the pier and have a relaxing view. Great place to stay, I just wish it could have been longer!

If you are interested in doing something around the area, or need suggestions, they have so many recommendations. I really just can't say enough about how wonderful they are. The house is like going to an aunt and uncles house, we just felt very cozy and comfortable. The pictures are exactly how the house is. It's convenient to so many different places, and a very short drive to beaches. There is a reason this place is rated with 5 stars on every travel site.

The other downstairs porch has tables for breakfast. There is also 4 high top tables on the deck for outside eating. We get the Boat Room. 1 king size bed with a bathroom big enough to dance in. Shampoo, conditioner, soaps and beauty pack filled with toothbrushes, q tips , dental pics. The views are fantastic. We watched dolphins and otters while eating breakfast. The breakfast is a work of art. Fruit cups, yogurt eggs with ham and cheese. Freshly made crepes with bananas and homemade Carmel sauce. There is a microwave and dishes, silverware and cooler with sodas and water upstairs with couches and games. Fresh baked cookies outside your room in the evening. There is fishing and crabbing on site. If you don't have the equipment they Wii loan you what you need. There is also a pool, several swings and chairs outside. Everything is so tastefully done and welcoming. There is also a small elevator to get suitcases and people upstairs.

We were booked into the inn by a client who wanted to make our first visit to Suffolk a memorable one. The home is a true Southern belle - a grand dame of historic mansions. It has been so lovingly restored and is perfectly appointed. We had so much fun exploring every inch of the home and absorbing its character. The proprietor (and very talented chef) Ruth has mastered the art of hospitality, inviting us to truly make the home our own. She didn't mind one bit that we planted ourselves in the reclining leather chairs in the stately octagonal library with another couple and yakked enthusiastically until the wee hours. After a blissful night sleep, breakfast the following morning was a marvelous affair. We prepped a coffee for ourselves at the Nespresso machine (fantastic!) and meandered around the grounds until the heavenly smell of baking croissants lured us to the elegant, light-filled breakfast room. Usually an eat-and-run proposition for us, we lingered for over an hour enjoying the delectable food and the conversation with the other guests. The charm of the house and its gracious owner had worked its magic - we were refreshed, satiated and inspired. We departed with great reluctance but the spirit of the Truitt house hung about us for the rest of the day and onto the next as we traveled home. You do not want to miss this unique and unforgettable travel experience - 5 gold stars!!!

The mansion, built long ago, has been restored and updated in every category. I've stayed at lots of B&Bs to find them "charming but in need of modern updates." This place has that without losing its original charm from 1909. Because I'm here for work, I'm purposely spending all my time at the house when not on location and I love to be able to move from study to library to the atrium and other rooms in order to read and for a change of atmosphere. Every room is unique and has a story. You'll love Ruth who will make your stay feel like you've come home to the family estate. Breakfast is made to order and she loves knowing what you like. Casual and comfy. Two words to describe the experience in this amazing, palatial mansion.
