Outer Banks Motel

There was a roach in the silverware, hardly any amenities, the staff was just a bunch of kids maybe 16 or 17. Its close to the beach, maybe too close! The layout was okay. They want you to clean your own room, threaten you with charges if you don't, but there is a maid service tip envelope on the same paper. For what? No. The best description is lazy. The buildings are good though.

Staff was friendly and the room was clean

No tv all night, called about it not working and they said they were sending someone and no one came. Also there were cockroaches, I brought it to their attention and even brought one in a jar to show them. They said oh is just a palmetto but they’re not roaches. I’m sorry if you google it then you will find out they are roaches. Yuck!

It was a short walk to the beach just over the dune. Great pool and the staff were very nice!

Unfortunately our stay was colored by the constant presence of at least three different types of cockroaches :( itty bitty ones on the cabinet, larger brown ones that crawl out seemingly from behind the fridge and under counter, and big ole black ones that absolutely covered all the railings and decking at night. Saw several of those inside as well, including in kids bedroom on the last night :( it was hard to relax and enjoy the evenings with these guys crawling over our feet and trying to get into everything. On the plus side, bedding and towels smelled clean, but there were a lot of issues here for $400/night. We feel cheated and sadly won’t be staying here again.

Just an average place. Clean.

We were told our room was "steps from the ocean". Not exactly true. They failed to tell us that the room was on the second story and not "6" steps from the ocean. I found the ceiling in the bathroom was falling down. I found broken slats on a blind. The return vent for the air conditioner was extremely dirty...not sure when it had been cleaned. And there was a note on the fridge to make sure we left the room as clean as when we found it and make sure we emptied all our trash in the dumpster. Plus next to that note was an envelope for tips for the maid. My tip is simple. Please see to it the room is in fact clean, including the return vent on the HVAC system. And maybe it would be a good idea to fix the ceiling in the bathroom, before it comes down on someone. When you pay Hilton Hotel prices for a place, you should give Hilton Hotel value.

The apartment was wonderful, and everything was very clean and lovely.
